I‘ve been looking forward to this piece the entire year. I loved this 2 yrs ago when I first listened to this music in this book. I didn‘t quite blow me away the same way now, but still amazing.

And if you need a reason to listen this is what Burton-Hill writes:
“This sonata, by the way, is the piece used by the scientists who investigated the phenomenon known, for shorthand, as the ‘Mozart effect‘. They found that listening to this music for

AnneCecilie just ten minutes each day could sufficiently rewire our brains to make us smarter. It could also help treat those suffering from epilepsy and other neurological conditions.” 2h
tpixie Interesting! And beautiful 🤩 Thanks https://youtu.be/tT9gT5bqi6Y?si=qeDJckoeSAD4szBY 1h
sarahbarnes Very cool! I just went to an event where they talked about how Maurice Sendak listened to Mozart often, including when he was drawing. 1h
AnneCecilie @sarahbarnes I had to google Maurice Sendak, but that‘s interesting. Maybe it increases creativity too? 1h

My edition seems to want to shed its pages - and it‘s only February. How are you managing a reread @AnnCecilie ?

AnneCecilie Mine has no problems with that. Maybe you was unlucky with your copy? 2w
Lcsmcat @AnneCecilie We did buy it secondhand, but it didn‘t look like it had ever been read. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2w

This has become our morning routine. This morning (Steve Reich) was the first time I didn‘t want to listen to multiple recordings of the say‘s selection. Oh well, tomorrow is Shubert. @AnnCecilie

Ruthiella I love his “Variations for Winds, Strings and Keyboards”, but it is the only thing I know. Very repetitive but for me, soothing. 1mo
quietlycuriouskate I'm reading/listening, too! Have to say I'm of a mind with you re today's piece. 1mo
AnneCecilie I didn‘t like this one either. I can‘t explain with, but something with the rhythm and the mood. 1mo
Lcsmcat @AnneCecilie To my ear it didn‘t go anywhere. But for the most part I have loved her selections. (edited) 1mo
Lcsmcat @Ruthiella I‘ll have to check that one out. 1mo

Librarybelle You are welcome! It is a wonderful book and journey through classical music. So glad you are enjoying it! 1mo
