This program, hosted by Sarah Fiene, is a course in music appreciation. Classical musicians explain the intricacies of the music of their genre, then demonstrate their points by playing excerpts from well-known compositions. As the ear is trained to discern the niceties of tone, melody, chords, and even humor in the pieces, appreciation is enhanced. Works by some of the world's great composers, including Beethoven, Chopin, and Bach, are used to educate the listener's ear.
