The Subtle Visionary And The Shouting Dunce

by wordsSHIFTminds

/

about

The title of this piece was suggested by an essay on polymath Egon Friedell in the 2007 book 'Cultural Amnesia', in which its author, the late Clive James (7 Oct 1939 - 24 Nov 2019), writes that it is quite possible for the subtle visionary and the shouting dunce to inhabit the same skull, "so that Wagner the anti-Semite will always be there to convince aspiring race scientists that they know something about politics, and perhaps even something about music".

'The Subtle Visionary And The Shouting Dunce' by wordsSHIFTminds showcases 'Strummed Mountain Dulcimer' by Peter Esch, 'Family Grand' by Christian Henson and 'Slinky Violin' by David Hilowitz and incorporates 'Adam's Marimba' by Andrew Finch from pianobook.
