My mentor gave me this book, as she knew I was interested in researching music and the experience of perceiving music. It was remarkably easy to read, and I think a real novel exploration of what it means to experience music or be in a relationship with musical sound... Nancy does an excellent job of illustrating the problems of a supposed boundary between self and other in musical perception ("listening"), as well as resisting music as a purely intellectual experience.

A remarkably quick read for theory, and a pleasurable one at that.
