Secret Lives of Great Authors
I read a captivating book the other day. Entertaining, fun, and possibly educational, but I didnt let that stop me.
“Secret Lives of Great Authors” by Robert Schnakenberg is a compilation of outrageous profiles of all the greats ”” Shakespeare, the Bronte gals, Twain, Fitzgerald, Carson McCullers, Toni Morrison, Thomas Pynchon, and many more.
The first page of each profile includes birth and death dates, nationality, astrological sign, a list of major works, contemporaries and rivals, the authors literary style, and a quote from them.
James Joyce: “The only demand I make of my reader is that he devote his whole life to reading my works.”
William Burroughs: “In the U.S., you have to be a deviant or die of boredom.”
JD Salinger: “There is a marvelous peace in not publishing.”
Sylvia Plath: “The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”
Schnakenberg dishes up stories that run the gamut from bawdy to snorting-coffee-out-your-nose funny to sad to informative ”” and I bet you havent heard most of them!
Some things we can learn from.

Western Classical Music
The Classical Era ( - )
Often, all Western art music is referred to as classical music, but it is also an era as well as a genre. This comes from the fact that a large amount of music from this era has remained popular up to today.
As a reaction to the super fancy music of the Baroque Era, Classical musicians, like Mozart and Haydn, preferred balanced phrases, structure and organisation.
How the music developed:
- Composers created rules for music that provided a framework for compositions. This included - balanced structures, clear organisation & simple melodies.
- The symphony was created - a four-movement orchestral piece
- Opera continued to be built upon and was greatly improved.
- The modern orchestra also took shape
- The piano became the preferred keyboard instrument - the harpsichord was popular until now
Composers and musicians were beginning to think of themselves as artists, not just servants to the wealthy.
Also, the industrial revolution helped create a new class of businessmen who were interested in the arts, and so more public concert halls were built to meet their demands.
Famous composers:
- Joseph Haydn ( - )
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ( - )
- Ludwig van Beethoven ( - )
- Franz Schubert ( - )
- Gioachino Rossini ( - )
