All you have to do is listen: music from the inside out

Prelude : all you have to do is listen

Does music have a plot?

Beginnings are everything

Repetition

Comma, semicolon, period : the meaning of cadence

Compared-to-what listening

Forwards-backwards listening

The challenge of memory

Form is a verb

From dancing to listening : minuets and scherzos

Sonata form : a story in three acts

Passacaglia, chaconne, and fugue : out of one, many

How could this come from that? the art of theme and variations

The individual versus the community : the concerto

Finished versus complete

Postlude : the role of the performer.
