Hi there!
I was remembering a book that I really loved when I started to study music, and I look back on a beautiful one: Free Play: Improvisation in Life and Art, by Stephen Nachmanovitch (1950- )
I knew this book as a result of a gift from a very dear friend when I was a teenager. Since the first reading, I really loved this friendly book: I felt identified with some chapters and I found the sense or the meaning of some things about music and life. I think that maybe the profession of the author, musical performance, influenced a lot in my experience with this book.
Generally speaking, the book is about music reflections and how we create and improvise always in life in general. Some chapters are: 'Inspirations and Time's Flow', 'Mind at play', 'Disappearing' 'Eros and Creation'...etc. Is difficult to say what this book is about, because for me is like about " THE LIFE" 😆😂 this book has provoked a lot of questions and reflections in me, one chapter is enough to realease our imagination and creativity.
I recommend it because for me it was very beautiful experience to read, and maybe also it will be to you! The most beatiful is that is not just about music, is about: how music lives in our life, how we live the music, and how music exists in our lives.
hello matilde, i think i'm going to read that book, i find it interesting.
