What I know of classical music is what I hear on record/vinyl/cd. Beyond that, almost nothing. My reaction to Classical is totally musical, and the occasional liner note on the back cover of the album. Curious, I picked up Theodor W. Adorno's Night Music
I was never able to enjoy Adorno’s writings on music. More intellectual than useful. Much more successful as a philosopher. Did you know that he lived in Los Angeles for awhile?

Yes! Didn't he teach either at UCLA or USC? His taste is rather conservative.
It was probably UCLA Schoenberg taught there also until he reached retirement age and they let him go so he went to USC.
