Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain
by Sacks, Oliver
|
| |
| In this exploration of the place music occupies in the brain and how it affects the human condition, Sacks examines a man struck by lightning who suddenly desires to become a pianist at the age of 42; an entire group of children with Williams syndrome, who are hypermusical from birth; people with "amusia," to whom a symphony sounds like the clattering of pots and pans; and a man whose memory spans only seven seconds -- for everything but music. | | |
