Dear Ones,
Have you ever been carried to an ecstatic place far beyond words by a piece of music? This brilliantly written book is dedicated to describing that experience from the inner life of a classical musician’s mind. He was specifically speaking of Bach’s “Goldberg Variations”, but could have been speaking about any music that moves you deeply. He describes it like this: “I first felt the resonant connecting joints holding together this experiment in reversing the randomness of inert matter. I need a better name for being unable to tell where “I” left off and the piece of music began.” What a description of being in that wordless ecstasy! … To play the Goldberg Variations requires the conviction in Bach’s words ‘that all things must be possible, sayable, particular and real.’”
Want to join us to dive into the inner reaches of Bach’s mind? It’s a wild ride and to me, felt like stepping into being the musician for the time I was reading it.
