Piano Music by Douglas Hofstadter,
By "jorrit1" (Hilversum, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Piano Music by Douglas Hofstadter (Audio CD)
Many readers that have enjoyed the books of Douglas Hofstadter can't help but to feel as if the author has become a close friend. As a writer of books on such matters as the mind, artificial intelligence, translation, creativity and consciousness, Hofstadter has added lots of personal, often intimate information to his books. So when Hofstadter writes about his excursions into the realms of composing music, many readers would love to hear his work. And now they can. 'Piano Music by Douglas Hofstadter' contains some 30 compositions for piano, written by Hofstadter between 1969 and 1996 and performed by Jane Jackson. Almost without exception these are lovely pieces of music. Hofstadter experiments with various styles, sometimes resembling romantic composers like Chopin and Debussy, at other times sounding more mathematic, like Bach. I very much enjoyed it, as though my acquaintance with Hofstadter has become yet a little closer.
