Although very interesting, the technicality & high density is beyond my ability to retain/remember.

I‘ll just enjoy the music & compositions from the greats without trying to tear them apart🎧🎻🎹😏

Who else listens to music when they read? I often do when I read nonfiction, a habit that goes back to my uni days.

How to Listen to Great Music: A Guide to Its History, Culture, and Heart | Robert Greenberg

We are hardwired to hear and make music. Yes, we will sigh with pleasure when we hear a favorite theme played by an orchestra, and who hasn‘t felt a stab of nostalgia, or even brushed away a tear, when hearing a song reminiscent of youth or a lost love? However, such exquisite moments notwithstanding, the musical experience represents something far deeper. Broadly defined, music is sound in time...

Sydsavvy Wow, "music is sound in time" ??????? 7y

Anna40 Does the author give a short overview of the main composers throughout the centuries? Does he go into the historical context as well? I've been looking for such an introduction to classical music and jazz... 7y

GoneFishing @Anna40 yes he does. I listened to it on audible and it was great. Just started another one called music as a mirror to history. Got a great lesson on Elizabeth 1 and music of the time in the first lecture. 7y

Anna40 Great! Thank you! Do you have any suggestions for jazz music? 7y

GoneFishing Haven‘t listened to it but there‘s a course called elements of jazz by bill messenger on audible. 7y

GoneFishing @Anna40 7y

Anna40 Thanks! 7y

Anna40 I ordered this book and The essential Canon of classical music.

Along the way [Mozart] got married; fathered seven children (two of whom survived into adulthood); performed as a pianist; violinist; and conductor; maintained a successful teaching studio; wrote thousands of letters; traveled widely; attended the theater religiously; played cards, billiards, and bocce; and rode horseback for exercise. Not bad for someone portrayed as a giggling idiot in the movies.
