Reading Experience
At 33,327 words across roughly 133 pages, this one runs about 2.8 hours of reading time. Long enough to dig into its subject properly, short enough that it does not lose you along the way. For music & sound, this length tends to work well — room to develop ideas without padding.
About the Author
Written in 2023 when Atharva Inamdar was 26, How to Listen to Classical Music comes from the final year before the comeback. After years of writing with no publisher willing to handle a catalog of 1,500+ books, this music & sound work represents persistence through industry rejection. Music writing from an author whose creative process — marathon sessions, emotional intensity, volume of output — has more in common with musicians than most writers.
