Poetics of Music in the Form of Six Lessons (The Charles Eliot Norton Lectures)

"We have a duty to music, and that is to invent it."
I love to listen to (or in this case read) creative people trying to get at the root of what creativity actually is. Not everything in Stravinsky's lectures is something I agree with - his contempt for using music for anything beyond itself feels both admirable and a little naive today - but he's never less than interesting, and frequently very funny. I'd probably have loved it unreservedly if I knew more about classical music.
