One of my goals for 2022 was to listen to a new piece of classical music everyday and to learn about the history of the piece and the composer. Year of Wonder was a great guide for exploring old favorites and lots of music new to me. As I read the daily entries, I downloaded the featured music and created monthly playlists. It’s turned into a worthwhile project for me, and I discovered I love some of the modern classics, especially music by composer Philip Glass. I especially enjoyed the author’s spotlights on female composers such as Fanny Mendelssohn And Clara Schumann, who have only recently become better appreciated. I listened to compositions by Erik Satie that gave me a better view of art in the early 20th century. Burton-Hill is an accomplished violinist, and her BBC programs have made classical music more accessible to the average listener. My only complaint about the selections - too much chorale music. Still not a fan! I plan to read her next daily guide to classical music, Another Year of Wonder.
