A Sound Mind: How I Fell in Love with Classical Music and Decided to Rewrite Its Entire History

Music critic and writer Paul Morley's journey into classical music is one of discovery and rebellion. As an emerging journalist in the 1970s, he found himself drawn to the sounds of artists he loved, but not wanting to be tied to the past, he sought out something new and rare.

Morley's story weaves together memoir and history, revealing classical music as a genre that defies its reputation. From the salons of 18th-century Europe to the modern age of Spotify, Morley explores the rich and often deviant past of classical music, tracing the transformative power of this diverse and varied genre.
