Music Lessons is a book about the cathartic power of music. For award-winning author and composer Stephen Johnson, there have been moments when music has confronted him with life-changing insights. Some of those have been hard to accept, but once accepted they have opened up new possibilities of thinking, feeling and living. Through an exploration of seven pieces – by J S Bach, Beethoven, Lili Boulanger, Bruckner, Rachmaninov, Sibelius and Wagner – Johnson considers the lives and the intentions of the composers who created them, and how they have affected him personally.
