Examples
- You talk a lot about orchestral color. What do you mean by that?
- I’ve heard about programmatic music and absolute music? What is the difference?
- You talk about an emotional arch when you experience music. Can you give us an example of what you mean by that?
- What is the difference between classical music, romantic music, and impressionism?
- What makes music compelling?
- I often hear that Beethoven is a great composer and also that he is a revolutionary composer — how do those 2 things work together?
