Muziek kan ons van de hoogten naar de diepten van emotie bewegen. Het kan ons overtuigen om iets te kopen, of ons herinneren aan onze eerste date. Het kan ons bevrijden uit een depressie als niets anders werkt. Het kan ons laten dansen. Aan de hand van bijzondere ziektegeschiedenissen laat Oliver Sacks zien welke invloed muziek op het brein heeft.

Revised and Expanded With the same trademark compassion and erudition he brought to The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Oliver Sacks explores the place music occupies in the brain and how it affects the human condition. In Musicophilia, he shows us a variety of what he calls “musical misalignments.” Among them: a man struck by lightning who suddenly desires to become a pianist at the age of forty-two; an entire group of children with Williams syndrome, who are hypermusical from birth; people with “amusia,” to whom a symphony sounds like the clattering of pots and pans; and a man whose memory spans only seven seconds-for everything but music. Illuminating, inspiring, and utterly unforgettable, Musicophilia is Oliver Sacks' latest masterpiece.

Un giorno, a New York, Oliver Sacks partecipa all’incontro organizzato da un batterista con una trentina di persone affette dalla sindrome di Tourette: tutti appaiono in preda a tic contagiosi, che si propagano «come onde». Poi il batterista inizia a suonare – e come per incanto il gruppo lo segue con i tamburi, fondendosi in una perfetta sincronia ritmica. Questo stupefacente esempio è solo una particolare variante del prodigio di «neurogamia» che si verifica ogniqualvolta il nostro sistema nervoso ‘si sposa’ a quello di chi ci sta accanto attraverso il medium della musica. Presentando questo e molti altri casi con la consueta capacità di immedesimazione, in Musicofilia Sacks esplora la straordinaria robustezza neurale della musica e i suoi nessi con le funzioni e disfunzioni del cervello. Allucinazioni sonore, amusia, disarmonia, epilessia musicogena: da quali inceppi nella connessione a due vie fra sensi e cervello sono causate? Come sempre l’indagine su ciò che è anomalo getta luce su fenomeni di segno opposto: l’orecchio assoluto, la memoria fonografica, l’intelligenza musicale e soprattutto l’amore per la musica – un amore che può divampare all’improvviso, come nel memorabile caso del medico che, colpito da un fulmine, viene assalito da un «insaziabile desiderio di ascoltare musica per pianoforte», suonare e persino comporre. Grazie alle testimonianze dei pazienti di Sacks ci troviamo così a riconsiderare in una nuova prospettiva appassionanti interrogativi, e assistiamo ai successi della musicoterapia su formidabili banchi di prova quali l’autismo, il Parkinson, la demenza. Dai misteriosi sogni musicali che ispirarono Berlioz, Wagner e Stravinskij, alla possibile amusia di Nabokov, alla riscoperta dell’«enorme importanza, spesso sottostimata, di avere due orecchie»: ogni storia cui Sacks dà voce illumina uno dei molti modi in cui musica, emozione, memoria e identità si intrecciano, e ci definiscono.

With an introduction by neuroscientist Daniel GlaserThe late Oliver Sacks' compassionate tales of people struggling to adapt to different neurological conditions have fundamentally changed the way we think of our own minds.Musicophilia is no different. In this breathtaking work, Sacks examines the powers of music through the individual experiences of patients, musicians and everyday people - those struck by affliction, unusual talent and even, in one case, by lightning - to show not only that music occupies more areas of our brain than language does, but also that it can torment, calm, organize and heal.Always wise and compellingly readable, these stories alter our conception of who we are and how we function, and show us an essential part of what it is to be human.

Music can move us to the heights or depths of emotion. It can persuade us to buy something, or remind us of our first date. It can lift us out of depression when nothing else can. It can get us dancing to its beat. But the power of music goes much, much further. Indeed, music occupies more areas of our brain than language does--humans are a musical species. Oliver Sacks's compassionate, compelling tales of people struggling to adapt to different neurological conditions have fundamentally changed the way we think of our own brains, and of the human experience. Here, he examines the powers of music through the individual experiences of patients, musicians, and everyday people. Music is irresistible, haunting, and unforgettable, and Oliver Sacks tells us why.--From publisher description.

Ao ler este resumo, o senhor descobrirá a importância da música em sua vida, quer seja um amante da música, um músico, ou não. O senhor descobrirá também que : a música afeta várias áreas do cérebro em ambos os hemisférios, enquanto a fala, por exemplo, está localizada em duas áreas do seu hemisfério esquerdo; pensar que a música ativa o córtex cerebral quase tanto quanto ouvi-la; a memória musical é uma das redes mais extensas e resilientes do cérebro; a terapia musical visa uma parte imersa da psique onde memória, emoção e identidade estão entrelaçadas; alguns seres humanos não têm as faculdades neurológicas para captar as tonalidades ou harmonias da música. A espécie humana é uma espécie musical. Na verdade, todo ser humano escuta ou pratica uma forma de música. Sempre acompanhou todos os povos da Terra que parecem ser incapazes de viver sem ela. Os neurocientistas procuram identificar as áreas do cérebro que processam a música. Eles estudam seu papel na recepção, memorização, sentimento e expressão. No entanto, a música não é biologicamente essencial à vida. Será porque ocupa muitas regiões do cérebro simultaneamente que a música parece tão indispensável?
