Question

I'd like to understand music so that I could understand Bach said the writer (change in indirect narration)

Answer 1

The writer told that he would like to understand music so that he could understand Bach.

Answer 2

In an indirect speech, the following sentence can be written as 'The writer told that he would like to understand music so that he could understand Bach.'

It is a way of expressing questions, a statement's content or any other spoken word without mentioning them directly as is often done in a direct speech.

An indirect speech makes use of some syntactic structures like the content clause and also some infinitive phrases.
