recovery from strokes or Parkinson's. It's a compelling blend of anecdote and rigorous science
revealing in detail how music harnesses the brain.' Books of the Year  FINANCIAL TIMES   'For
many years I have wondered why a bunch of frequencies organised into a piece of music has the
ability  even without words  to make the listener cry and become emotional. Although I know
this happens to me and many people  I have often wondered how this can be. Dr Levitin  in this
latest book  Music as Medicine   has some fascinating insights into this great phenomenon.'
