Norman Brodeur also talks about the beauty of music:

Norman j Brodeur says that the beauty of a great musical work is not always immediately evident. Sometimes it takes time, and training, to realize that it is beautiful. Students often say that a piece they did not like at first became one of their favorites with repeated experience of it. Their taste changed, not because they got used to something they didn't like, but because an inherent quality eventually became apparent to them.

There is an ancient Greek saying: "Beautiful things are difficult." This is true to our experience of beauty, which sometimes comes to us only if we make an effort to go to it.

Further, Norman Brodeur says that Beautiful music pleases and sometimes challenges us with its intelligence, depth, and complexity. It does not please for the moment, but invites endless re-experience and return. The more we listen, the more we hear. And the more we study the music, the more reason we have to find it beautiful. The music unfolds in time and exhibits a delightful play of forces or tensions. In music, the question of beauty comes down largely to this perception of how musical forces conspire to form a whole. Great musical works exploit these tensions to the fullest.

Norman Brodeur concluded with the interview by saying that he hopes the love of music and its beauty will nourish the love of knowledge and truth. Thank you so much, Norman J Brodeur for spreading love and awareness regarding music.
