Music About Nothing: Seinfeld and the Classical Style | Graeme Steele Johnson TEDx Talk
Music About Nothing: Seinfeld and the Classical Style
Have you ever heard a piece of classical music and thought, "I don't get it"? Graeme Steele Johnson believes everyone has the capacity to decode the language of expectation and irony in classical music if we only adjust the way we listen — because great music rewards great listening. In his TEDx talk, Johnson traces the structural similarities between Mozart and the '90s sitcom to explain how to hear narrative and dramatic elements in music without a plot.
Presented at TEDx Oak Lawn in Dallas, Texas, May 2019
