Thoughts and reflections about the past and present
Maria talks about how music was created in the past. What is different today? What differentiates it from today? Were women allowed to play music and sing publicly? Who hired and paid? What is a prodigy? Is there an absolute pitch, and what is it good for? If Mozart had lived today how would he have sounded and what instruments would he have written with?
Here are some examples from Maria’s podcasts:
