Today’s pop music is too superficial, too vulgar, and has no lasting charm. It cannot compare with Beethoven, Chopin, etc. What about human music? I suggest young people listen to more classic music, which can truly cultivate their sentiments.

This book is clearly explained, well-organized, concise and powerful, and can explain the profound things in a simple way. It is worth recommending.
