Rob Kapilow has been helping audiences hear more in great music for
almost twenty years with his "What Makes It Great?" series on NPR,
at Lincoln Center, and in concert halls throughout the US and
Canada. In this book, he gives you a set of tools you can use when
listening to any piece of music in order to hear its "plot"--its
story told in notes. The musical examples are available free for
download to help you hear the ideas presented. Whether you are an
experienced concertgoer or a newcomer to classical music, the
listening principles Kapilow shares will help you ""get"" music in
an exciting, fresh new way.
""Kapilow gets audiences in tune with classical music at a
deeper and more immediate level than many of them thought
possible.""
--"Los Angeles Times"
""Rob Kapilow is awfully good at what he does. We need
him.""
--"The Boston Globe"
""A wonderful guy who brings music alive ""
--Katie Couric
""Rob Kapilow leaps into the void dividing music analysis from
appreciation and fills it with exhilarating details and
sensations.""
--"The New York Times"
""You could practically see the light bulbs going on above
people's heads. . . . The audience could decipher the music in a
new, deeper way. It was the total opposite of passive
listening.""
--"The Philadelphia Inquirer"
