I'm sure many of you already know about this, but for those that don't:

I borrowed the set of 48 lectures by Prof. Robert Greenberg from my local
library:

"How to Listen to and Understand Great Music"

produced by The Teaching Company. I'm halfway through and having a riot.
If you're not a music major this is a great intro to the history,
terminology, structure and construction, along with appreciation of
Western music. If you _are_ a music major, it still might be worth
listening to ...

From a lecture using Mozart's Gm Symphony on the Sonata Form and Contrasts
...

"The only chance a conductor has of getting to heaven is to take all
repeats."

Mark C.
