Body and Soul of Music

Body and soul, it is said, are the two sides of a coin. The human being is not complete without both.
Under Construction
The almost uniformly parochial thinking which exists in many quarters today regarding classical and light music amuses me for this very reason, and the tirade against light music reminds me" of the similar position in which "modern" painting found itself at the turn of the century.

So I want to say, with the greatest possible emphasis, that there is no difference between classical and light music. The relationship between the two is like that of the moon and the light which it sheds. Or to revert to our original simile, that of body and soul.
