Earl K. Long and Jay Chevalier: "when the music stopped" Book

Godwin has an uncanny knack for writing about very interesting subjects and still managing to be boring. This book mainly goes into how French composers in the 1700's were encoding Pythagorian/Rosicrucian/Alchemical symbology/magic into the music they were creating. Some of the historical stuff was interesting but maybe its because I'm neither a musician or a Pythagorian occultist when he got into deep specifics and the technical side of what these guys were doing I was bored out of my mind.
