Rosen's writing is like his playing: clever, precise, insightful, and always ready to take on challenges... His analysis is clear and persuasive, getting to the heart of the matter. If you are prepared to listen to Rosen's lectures, you will undoubtedly be affected by his surgically precise analytical style. "Music and Emotion" not only changes the way we understand music, but also how we should view art itself. - The Guardian
As a respectable pianist and the author of "Classical Style", Rosen's voice is always worth listening to. The examples he selected and the detailed analysis he made in this book skillfully explain how music expresses emotions. - The Sunday Times
Changes in intensity, speed, length of legato notes - Rosen's approach is so direct yet so special, deftly leading us closer to the connotation of the music... What makes Rosen so special is the overall aesthetic picture he presents when analyzing the passionate, boundless and confrontational emotions in the music.
