Another Year of Wonder: Classical Music for Every Day

I've been reading this book slowly over many months, but yesterday I felt inspired to go ahead and make playlists at Spotify for the remaining months and then do a listen/read combination for the rest of the book.

My takeaways from this book (as well as the original, Year of Wonder):

1. Before I read/listened to these two books about classical music, I knew nothing about classical music. After I read/listened to these two books about classical music, I still know (almost) nothing about it but my idea of what classical music has expanded to include more types of music.

2. I clearly know what classical music I like. I even made a Favorites list from each book. I wish I knew why I like the classical music I like.

3. There's something glorious about listening to classical music. Again, I don't know why.

4. Listening to a classical music selection that I've heard many, many times can be an enchanting and profound experience.

5. Listening to a classical music selection that is new-to-me can be an enchanting and profound experience.

6. The comments of Clemency Burton-Hill about each selection greatly enriched the experience.

Okay, I probably should talk less and listen more. Here's a link to My Favorites from Another Year of Wonder.
