What to Listen for in the World
What To Listen For In The World is about the nature of music and its meaning in our lives, how music is created, and how music can be more fully understood and appreciated. What To Listen For In The World probes into the role of memory and imagination in creative expression, the meaning of inspiration, spirituality in music, the challenge of arts education, and how music communicates. What To Listen For In The World considers the work of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann, and Ravel in a way that is both poetic and accessible, designed to get directly to the essence of their art. Bruce Adolphe is a gifted interpreter of music theory, style, and meaning whose writings are readily and especially accessible and informative to the non-specialist general reader.  --Midwest Book Review
