Hi there! And Happy New Year.
This is the first time in the year that I write on my blog. And, as I am a musician, I wanted to start it with a book related with that theme. Of course, not with normal, mediocre and boring book but with a very interesting and learning book. I think all the people who want to be considerated as real musicians or love to make good music should read this book.
The writer is a very famous director, violinist and musician who, honestly, I wasn't very concerned about his existence. But they recommend me to read this book and I felt like if I have had my eyes closed until the time I started to read it.
I am using that expression ("eyes closed") because it says such crazy and true things that you might not have seen them before. It make you realize how things are in a realistic and propper way. There can be differences and diverse opinions, but I think it isn't so far from reality what Nikolaus says. Also it has a pedagogic content.
The original title of the book is Musik als Klangrede (German) and in English "Baroque Music Today: Music As Speech".
I really recommend it!
