in culture, interesting
Apparently, the secrete to enjoying classical music (and not only) is thinking macro :)
I think this is an amazing and very energetic talk by Benjamin Zander about classical music and his way of thinking. It is totally worth the 21 minutes.
I think he completely deserved the standing avation.



the way i would say it, classical music is to general contemporary music as c programming language is to all other programming languages… it’s emotional sounds interfacing in a less abstracted way with the operating system — that is our aural senses :)
Great video, inspirational message but how does enjoying classical music relate to thinking macro?
@Tracy – please, listen to what he says for example on 11:55-12:10 and then again in a couple of other occasions…
