Beethoven''s Anvil - Music in Mind and Culture

Why does the brain create music? William Benzon finds the key to music's function. Music demands a coordination of different mental functions and it is this, Benson argues, tht underlies our deep need to create and participate in music. Music synchronizes the brain and has a profound influence on the shape of mind and human cultures.
