Week 20: The Question of Music and Emotion

It's late Sunday night and I'm out of steam. So, instead of writing a long blog post, I will share an interesting article that I recently read about an old argument in classical music, that is, music's ability or lack of ability to have or create emotion. This article was written by the great Jazz Pianist, Brad Mehldau in response to a statement made by one of the 20th centuries greatest composers, Igor Stravinsky. I hope you enjoy it.
