This subtle yet powerful book on the complex dynamics of love of music and persons is a crucial part of larger forces in our historical moment: the moral and artistic voices that examine and enact A Love Supreme! And Eva Cassidy smiles! * Cornel West, Harvard University * Witty, passionate, provocative, and humane, Cheng's fascinating book -- with its soaring, singing voice -- digs deep to the roots of what love, music, and the chords they strike together can mean in an ethically alert life. * Stephen Hough, Concert pianist * With rare honesty and unconditional compassion, Will Cheng confronts our deeply held commitment to music as a humanizing force. A bravely vulnerable exploration of both the joys and the dangers of loving music. * Scott Burnham, Author of Mozart's Grace * Cheng's book made me take stock of my own love for music and for people. And it isn't all pretty! By the end, I was reading and crying with pen in hand, drawing up resolutions for new modes of loving, living, and listening. * Sherrie Tucker, Author of Dance Floor Democracy * Equally relevant to musicians, scholars, and fans, Loving Music Till It Hurts is a consciousness-raising book with razor-sharp analyses of how people justify and defend their musical opinions. A must-read. * Dana Gooley, Brown University *
