“The Meaning of Classical Music” is a book that speaks to the interconnection of two texts:
The primary text “Classical music, the love of my life” is a speech that narrates Iannucci’s personal journey of discovering and appreciating classical music, despite not being an expert. He emphasizes the validity of any interpretation of classical music and argues that it should not be seen solely as technical expertise, but as a beautiful language that can be enjoyed by everyone.
Complementing the speech is a poem titled "A Music is Made" by Bharati Nayak. Since the speech discusses music as an artistic language, using a poem would be an interesting parallel. The poem uses music as a symbol, representing anything from the meaning to the creation of something in nature. By emphasizing the importance of personal interpretation in enjoying music, the poem supports the speech of how there is no single correct way to approach classical music.
