Introduction · · · · · ·
A collection of Ma Huiyuan's classic music reviews, with Ma Huiyuan himself selecting and writing the preface.
The book is divided into two parts. The first part is "A Basic Knowledge of Music", which discusses the musical characteristics and creative stories of masters in the history of classical music such as Bach, Pachelbel, Buxtehude, and Dakan. It also interprets the beauty of classical music from the interpretations of contemporary performers such as Gould, Simon, Turek, and Wilder.
The second part takes the organ, the "king of musical instruments", as its theme and the organ music of Bach, the "father of classical music", as its clue to tell the history of the development of organ music, while outlining the changes in Western classical music under the background of technological changes in modern society.
Ma Huiyuan, an organist, music critic, and programmer, uses cross-border thinking to navigate between music and science, history and reality, and tells the origins of classical music since the Baroque, and tells the stories of music and masters, musical instruments and performances.
