Wonderful introduction by Benjamin Zander!

I really enjoyed the fact that the composition was explained in detail. After such an explanation the listeners should truly enjoy the music to its fullest and for those of music theory, etc. such wording takes you from the key of Eb Major to Gb minor. . Describing the hero's effect in the music, the critics with their funny sounds in the instrumentation. The whole orchestra being used, different instruments featured to bring out certain happenings and moods. His talk in a nut shell was truly amazing. Benjamin Zander really knows his subject back wards and forewords!
