NTS Guide to: Classical Works in Murakami Novels

In a 2011 New York Times article, Murakami estimated that he owns 10,000 records, but was too afraid to count. Music is elemental to the atmosphere of the stories he creates, his works filled with quotations, references and inspiration from the music world; even entire novels are structured around musical pieces, as with 1Q84.

In this Guide, NTS collects just a few of Murakami's classical references found in his novels.
