![]() ![]() ![]() For me this book has already made so much of what I have read earlier richer and the music has not changed. With this book I can say that this is not the case, the fact that I have read about most of the events Ross discusses from many different angles (political, economic, philosophic, etc.) meant that I have now added a flavour that I have missed so far. I have been afraid that my emotional experience will be “tainted” and I would lose the emotional connection to the music if I add knowledge and theories about the music I listen to. So, part of my passion for this book is probably due to the fact that so much in this book is new to me. I’m not sure when I will put this book to the side, but I’ve been asked about my reflections for a long time and I thought I could share some reflections while still reading it.Īs a disclosure I should confess that I have read very little about classical music, especially modern. After that, I went back and I’m now currently reading the parts where I think Ross has captured interesting transitions in society, from the perspective of music, and listened to the music related to the transitions mentioned in the book. I then read it over a long time where I streamed/downloaded all music that was mentioned in to book and listened to that while reading and thinking about the corresponding parts. First I read it at the same speed as I do with most books, but realised that I only had scratched the surface. ![]() ![]() I have read it for more than a year and I’m still not done. ![]()
