In his prologue, Brook writes, \"As Orpheus discovered, every animal can respond to sounds. For us, the living question is 'Which sounds? What music?' In this book we will try to explore together the infinite range of experiences that can sometimes touch us deeply, sometimes leave us cold.\" With topics ranging from how to evoke \"true listening\" to the relationship between words and music to the \"living presence\" of silence, Brook's ever-inquisitive and questing mind invites the reader to pay greater attention to the rhythms and melodies present on stage and in life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Theatre Communications Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781559369831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Peter Brook","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36659791593628,"sku":"9781559369831","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a81dbd25-2274-4070-9529-5219633fd869.jpg?v=1603895477","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/playing-by-ear-reflections-on-sound-and-music-9781559369831","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
