It is already well-established that music as a complex combination of various vibrations affects human organism in a plenty of different ways. Depending on the kind of music piercing a human body, it may piece, enliven, liberate, capture. Music is an alternative medicine, a drug for a human mind, which may have either positive or negative influence. Hence, one should be extremely careful while treating oneself with this metaphorical pill. The unquestioning devotion of the protagonist to the classical music, Beethoven in particular, is being observed in The Soloist. Globally, classical music in its sense has always been known to adjoin the listener to some transcendent understanding of the world order, the feeling of integrity with the Universe and enormous delight rising up from the sound signal in the cerebrum to the innermost parts of human essence. Locally, one must have already heard about the instance of Mozart’s effect, when a series of experiments have been held in order to investigate the results of brain activity under the influence of Mozart’s musical compositions. Indeed, music is a powerful tool. Nevertheless, it demands scrutiny and skill in order to use it reasonably and effectively. In terms of considering music a drug, we should therefore regard the second main figure of the book as an absolute addict. Being inextricably intertwined with Nathaniel’s mental illness, the boundless love to music has formed his world outlook. Exactly love generated the idea of the omnipresent music, which can also be traced on the pages of The Soloist . Exactly love made Nathaniel overlook all the faults of society he took quite inactive part in. Music surrounds a human throughout the time and space; one should only take a notice of how fascinating the ‘language of God’ is. “Heavenly Father, shine the light on brother Nathaniel that he may speak with Your voice tonight” – relates Graham Claydon, implying that music is the Lord’s product, and the player is the Lord’s ambassador. [Lopez, 2008] Regarding this, one should mention the Steve Lopez’s ‘religious’ ideas of the book. The great ground of the religious views has been moved in The Soloist. The latter implies the issue of human-God transformation and the issue of responsibility, which can be explicitly outlined by the quotation by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in The Little Prince “You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed”. Indeed, for the reason of power humans may be mistaken for gods, however, the book suggests a change in further development of the relationships between Steve and Nathaniel. They come to stand on the same level, being equal, being friends. For them there is no longer a master and a puppet, but the two rather different individuals, who got together in terms of mutual understanding and support. Moreover, there is either no matter whether one is mentally ill or not, whether one is affluent or not – Steve is flabbergasted about the way Nathanael is deeply involved into music, Nathanael in his turn admires how Steve arranges everything. They both are the same in willingness to enjoy the free play of life. And, we may clearly state that for Nathanael this joy could have hardly been possible without being mentally ill, only people entirely concerne
