Great advice from a great composerBy Ismael de Leon H.I am surprised it took me so long to discover this book; as it is so well written and so useful for better understanding the ways to enjoy concert music. I really did not know Copland was so articulate and good at writing. I can perceive a successful effort on his part in order to clearly explain something as abstract as music.This is not a book that will provide the reader with all that is needed to completely own this art form. However; it is a book that should be read by anyone that intends to grasp more enjoyment out of serious concert music. His point of view on many aspects of the music appreciation practice are very valuable. Throughout his discussion; he manages to present many useful tips that help the reader to better concentrate on what is important on any piece.In his book; Copland mentions many examples of pieces to make his point; and I guess one has to be familiar with those works in order to get it. However; here and there I found mentions of examples for which I am not familiar with; and even then; I could very well understand what he was trying to say.He does not assume that the reader is very knowledgeable about music and at the same time; he does not write as if the reader was stupid; as some of the books from the series ldquo;hellip;For Dummiesrdquo; series do.I highly recommend this book to better learn about appreciating music from the humble words of a great composer who is caring enough to make his reading enjoyable.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Musicians and music lovers should read this book.By Matt-ManRecommended by a friend; this is a very clear; easy to follow book for anyone who likes or loves classical music and wants to get even more enjoyment out of it.As a musician myself it is very interesting to hear one of Americas finest composers talk about music in a way that demystifies the listening process. To paraphrase Mr. Copland; people have no trouble going to the theater and then discussing how they felt about the performance with little or no background in the dramatic arts; yet people who go to classical music concerts are not sure they are qualified or educated enough about music to "understand" or form and opinion about it.This book teaches the reader that "I dont know anything about music" doesnt mean you cant enjoy it. By applying the information in this book one can potentially learn to hear more by becoming an active listener; which in turn increases understanding and enjoyment.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great introduction; not too technical.By ChrisI havent finished reading this; but so far what I have read is very good. I am very experienced in classical music; so I was more interested in seeing how he communicated ideas rather than expecting to learn much that was new. The material is organized very well. It is also quite readable; and his explanations are not too technical for the layman.
