In listening to Fred Child on yesterday’s broadcast of Performance Today, I learned that birds prefer Bach. He was referring to a study by Japanese researcher, Kazutaka Shinozuka, in which Java sparrows were found to prefer Bach’s music to Schoenberg’s and, even, to the sound of silence. Another study showed that fish may prefer Bach over Stravinsky.
As much as I enjoy both Schoenberg and Stravinsky, I side with the birds ⏤ and the fish!
