Classical music myths

Monday mornings at 9:15, I join John Birge on Classical MPR to talk about stories we're featuring on our website. Due to the Labor Day weekend, this week we're having our talk on Tuesday. Here are the stories we'll be discussing.

What are the top ten myths about classical music? As artistic director of the Discovery Orchestra, George Marriner Maull has heard his share—and he lists the  pernicious.

As the big fall books roll in, you may find yourself pulling your own manuscript out of that desk drawer. Daniel Johnson suggests some music for writing your novel.

The State Fair is over, but farm work continues throughout the year. Daniel Johnson also cues you in as to when to turn that barn radio from country to classical.
