If you're somebody who knows little to nothing about classical music, and wants to know more, this podcast is for you. Hello, I'm Dr. Matthew Marullo, and in this first edition of my friendly, informal podcast, I first introduce myself, then define classical music, which includes debunking some common misconceptions. Then I launch into the first topic, impressionism in music, and give some examples of why a particular piece of music is considered impressionistic. The main idea is to expose my listeners to great music they perhaps never knew existed, or at least shed some new light on music they may have heard in the past. It's a relaxing, completely enlightening experience. But first and foremost, it's a lot of fun! And believe me, "Classical's Cool!"
