ep.01 - What Does Music Mean?

Young People's Concerts Season 1 Episode 1 - What Does Music Mean? "No matter what stories people tell you about what music means, forget them. Stories are not what music means. Music is never about things. Music just is. It's a lot of beautiful notes and sounds put together so well that we get pleasure out of hearing them. So when we ask, 'What does it mean; what does this piece of music mean?' we're asking a hard question. Let's do our best to answer it." Leonard Bernstein Originally aired on CBS Television Network, January 18, 1958.
