Episode 1.3: Wordless pedagogy with Kate Guthrie

In September of 1957, the BBC aired an experiment designed by writer and broadcaster Hans Keller. He had composed interludes that wove between the movements of a Mozart string quartet and were meant to express something about that music without leaning on language for explanation. This podcast examines Keller’s approach to communicating about music through music and important questions about instrumental music and its role in our lives that are raised by listening to his wordless analyses.
