by David Schwarz (Author)
Using classical, popular, and avant-garde music as texts, this title addresses such questions as: why do bodies develop goose bumps when listening to music and why does music sound so good when heard 'all around'. It shows how the historical conditions under which music is created affect the listening experience.
