Praise
“This is a text full of discoveries, even for those who are deeply involved in listening or composing music . . . Kraus is a neuroscientist and writes with clear prose which is supported by simple illustrations and a solid scientific divulging tone that makes us understand our ‘sound mind’, how it shapes us while irresistibly encouraging us to devote more time and attention to hearing, and other frequently missed sound experiences.”
