The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenaline but is, rather, the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity.
Discussion
reminds me of Wordsworth on poetry:
“Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.”
Yes that’s Gould btw.
i don’t know much at all about classical music. is Gould a good place to start?
He’s so far outside the mainstream it’s almost a different category. But for me, Gould just clicks like nothing else too. Just type Glenn Gould into YouTube and off you go.
thanks i will
