By Daniel J. Levitin.
Any interesting dive into the science of music—what is it? How to do we hear and perceive it? Why do we like it? How do we develop preferences? How do we get good at playing?
My notes from this book were more about music that I wanted to listen to, then things I wanted to remember…
Of course Kindle won't let me easily copy…
1. Surprise Symphony by Haydn. Symphony #94 in G Major. Second movment.
2. Sindig's The Rustle of Spring or Chopin's Fantasy Impromptu. The notes go by so quickly that an illusiory melody develops.
3. Chelsea Morning and Refuge of the Roads by Joni Mitchel are great examples of non-standard tunings.
