Title: Disappointing
Review: This book was to me a complete waste of time. It contains everything from the physiology of the inner ear, the brain, to Beethoven, and the theme from the Pink Panther; scattered facts with no coherency what so ever. It presents no new facts, and not even any new ideas. The author never asks himself the question 'Why is this important?' For example: It is mentioned that the reason why an interval is dissonant is because it falls within a socalled 'critical band' of hearing. That might be interesting trivia, but does it add anything to our understanding of music? I think not. At one point the author writes 'Fortunately you don't need to understand the brain to be able to use it'. Exactly! So what is the point of this book? Music is an emotional and spiritual experience. The author has once and for all proven that looking for musical enlightment via a pseudo-scientific discourse as impossible as trying to locate the human soul by brain surgery, and as meaningless.
