**** At the same time though there was a point in the manga (not sure about the anime) when Nodame was struggling to understand how to play Baroque music too and had to refer to books etc, so Baroque's style doesn't come naturally to her either despite the aforementioned advantages.

** Her original goal wasn't to pursue a music career anyways, it was to simply go through university and become a kindergarten teacher. Somewhere along the line she met Chiaki, who really is the only reason why she began seriously trying, and since Chiaki was into classical, she kinda had her option limited to what he does.

* I can't be the only person who considers Okuyama to be completely and utterly repulsive. Yes, I get the joke, that he embodies every gay male stereotype at once, but ''the joke is not funny, ever.'' I watched around twelve episodes of this series, and couldn't get further because every scene with Okuyama was derailed by my seething hatred of him.

** Nodame picks up *anything* easily if she hears it. In the manga, she just watches anime dubbed into French to learn French!

*** I don't think the mangaka knows much about classical music. If the manga wanted Nodame to still be a classical musician, but give her a good outlet for her improvisation, they could have stuck her in period-informed Baroque. Historically, Baroque sheet music is very bare bones and encourages the musician to add embellishments and improvisations. I actually came into period informed Baroque from Jazz because they share a common philosophy. But then again, Nodame would probably be playing a harpsichord, which would be counter to the romanticism the mangaka wnated to invoke by making her a pianist.

* Surely I'm not the only one to think that Nodame is playing in the wrong genere, right? I mean, with her amazing technical skills, her ability to play by ear and her ability to improvise, she's just <made> for {{Jazz}}. I mean, if I recall correctly, she even admits she likes jazz or jazzy like music in one episode! Furthermore, her idiosyncratic style of playing, deviating from the 'norm', would fit right in and she would have everything to become a jazz legend, in short order. Why doesn't anyone in the anime encourage her to try jazz out? Elitism?

**** Kinda referenced when characters note that she would have been perfect in the 18th century, composing and performing at the same time, and having room for improvisation.
