“The Book of Music” is not only a dotted and monumental history of European music, where music and musicians - from mythical heroes to modern composers and listeners - argue with geography, politics, science, urban planning, morality, psychology and create their own versions of the universe. This is also an album, a map of routes and a cardiogram of the intimate and social experience of people and states, as well as a guide to the state of affairs in the industry: festivals, orchestras, labels, streaming services and more. This is also a short catalog of old terms and new evidence of the musical obsession of contemporaries - artists, writers, directors, managers. And finally, it is a story about how music becomes an object of admiration and investigation, poeticization and analysis; simply put, it sounds. The publishing design is preserved in PDF A4 format.
