This week’s Spotify playlist

The playlist this week, as always, references articles on the blog. It is a curated list of interesting and unusual pieces, some old and some new, in different genres, all related in some way to the blog. In this week’s playlist, “Duke Bluebeard’s Castle” by Béla Bartók is included in its entirety. This work, the composer’s only opera, uses mathematical principles in its construction, in particular the Golden Section.

Those with a paid subscription to Spotify can listen to the entire playlist on the player above or by searching for “Music to read a blog by” from the app. Those readers with a free subscription can listen to the list with advertising breaks and those with no subscription can listen to extracts of each entry.
