Why do we enjoy listening to music? How do we instinctively recognise a song’s melody? What is perfect pitch? When the brain is gripped by music, opens unknown doors and delves into unexplored areas. Over the course of a thrilling journey, Daniel Levitin takes a fresh look at the way in which we play and react to music.
