Thank you,for such an interesting, informative and intellectually stimulating presentation. I am a Family Physician who took piano lessons from age 6 -15 and still play my piano every day. Like Jeremy I sometimes wondered if my indescribable enjoyment of music was a therapy or a "disease". It is reassuring to learn from Dr. Levitin that it probably is not an addiction in the clinical meaning of the term.
where did bach come from!? another dimension... i read that some of his pieces confused and frightened people. He created for the modern world a map of complexity that blossomed in our minds. some of his works are so far away from any other composer. thank you for reveling in this i feel so alone sometimes riddling ecstatically through his works(i am a piano person who has been playing bacccch for decades) by myself wondering and feeling the tendrils vast and reaching forever outward and inward of a message being sent across time and space
I once told my classical piano teacher: "Bach's is scientific music." He retorted: "Not at all in the sense of mathematics, no two passages in Bach's entire work are the same." Yet my teacher was one of these classically-trained individuals who think that only classical music is "serious" music.
I wonder if anyone who made this possible realized how brilliant it is and how fortunate we are to get to view it. Thank you.
Thank you Jeremy. A really stimulating set of dialogues with interesting contributors. A real joy.
Thank you Jeremy

So inspiring and meaningful conversation . Thanks so Much Jeremy.
I loved this intellectual, nuanced conversation about music and science : )))
Thank you Jeremy. It was good to hear from Daniel Levitin. I will continue to listen...
Sooooo amazing, thank you!!! I never thought anyone could astound me as much as Glenn Gould, but Jeremy Denk does!
Ditto!! My sentiments exactly!
great to learn more about bach
Always.
Reminds me of the Dawn of Man sequence from 2001 where the apes go wild in incomprehension. touching the monolith.
Haven't watched the entire program yet, but that G major prelude and fugue....wow! wow! wow!

You should make recordings of you playing Bach and upload them to your youtube channel for everyone to appreciate!

Couldn't that you more, Jerry
Love.

The introduction, without an announcement of time to start, caused me to abandon intent to listen, bye
I have adhd 🎉
Piano is in a very bad condition. Sounds too metallic.
