Musicophilia

What is musical talent? A pathology or a divine gift? How does Tchaikovsky's genius differ from Wagner's genius? What explains the astonishing love for music in people with Williams syndrome and why do those suffering from "amusicality" perceive it as an unbearable jumble of sounds? What changes occurred in the consciousness of a person who, after surviving a lightning strike, unexpectedly became a passionate admirer of Chopin and even learned to play the piano in order to perform his works? Even if you do not love music, you will not be able to tear yourself away from this book, which will reveal such depths in your own "self" that you were not even aware of.
