Suzuka has Track and Field...
Nodame Cantabile has classical music...
Both animes have characters at first which don't take what they do seriously. They devote themselves more and more as their love for the other character increases.
Suzuka isn't based as heavily on track as Nodame Cantabile is on music. Suzuka has more drama while Nodame Cantabile has more performance.
NC is a 2007 anime so it's somewhat more visually and audially appealing. Suzuka isn't as good, but it still has a strong story :)
