A new book, Journeys Through Galant Expositions, by Professor L. Poundie Burstein (The Graduate Center, Hunter College), seeks to reignite the experience of these listeners through the use of metaphors and approaches that were popular among musicians at the time-specifically, metaphors that relate musical form to "journeys." * The Graduate Center, Hunter College *
