I read Stravinsky’s lecture series “The Poetics of Music” when I was at uni, but haven’t really re-read it since, so I’m revisiting it at the moment, with great enjoyment. It makes me so happy that my music-brain has decided to revive – a mere few months back I couldn’t have made sense of anything like this (or any other sensible book) – now I’m sailing through it, and also through the book of essays on Rothko’s work which my Da gave me while he was here, which is also fascinating.
