I consider this one of my favorite examples of writing about music.

Andy Ihnatko, the Chicago Sun Times’ computer columnist, provides a unique perspective on music in this piece.

As a hobbyist musician and a fan of good writing I cannot recommend this bit of writing more highly.

If you love music or if you just appreciate beautiful writing you’ll love this piece.

Be sure to watch/listen to the opera scenes he includes in the piece for maximum enjoyment.

Bravo, Andy!
