What do you need to know about Music?

Ever thought ‘Oh I wish I knew a little bit more about that?’, or find yourself listening to something and want to go beyond it?

What is a serpent?

What is the Erlkönig?

Why does a piano trio not have three pianos?

Over the next 12 months we’re going to be posting 100 things you might want to know about music, with a post twice a week.

It will start with how do we talk about music, a focus on instruments, how to start writing your own music, character and mood in music, a focus on chamber music and musical dialogues, and a series of reference ‘stuff you should know’ posts on composers, types of music – all of this will be in the ‘I wish I knew that’ section.
