Excerpt:

As it is about music I have tried to be musical. I have not tried to write scientific, logical, dry treatise directed to your already overworked analytical left brain.
I have instead directed my work to your whole brain. I have tried to use rhythms and gestures and patterns of flow which I hope may be somewhat more helpful to you as a total experience than the reading of yet another fact-filled book.
This is my tribute to Music, my inadequate attempt to express gratitude to Her for all She has done for me. In particular, for all the years She has comforted and sustained me.

Reviews:

A book which will elucidate and strengthen your relationship to music regardless of what frame of reference governs you…speaks about the basic planes of musical enjoyment in an eloquent: easily digested, and systematic manner.
