Is there definitive literature for the discovery and appreciation of symphonic/classical music? I have introductory music theory material that covers the "path" of western music but it is surface level and too focused on the technical aspects, whereas I'm interested in a more humanities approach.
If there is no catch-all resource, then are there definitive guides to the individual styles?

bump for interest

Nothing is definitive
"a more humanities" approach usually concerns itself with individual composers and spins context from there

you would rather read a book about styles rather than actually listen to the music.......i don't even know what to say

>>6797763
Yeah, no you fucking retard. A book would serve as a companion and guide to listening to the music.

You can't expect to possess an insightful knowledge of music while simultaneously being a dilettante. Your dilemna is one of a spoiled child.

Ha, I'm sorry I wasn't born with an insightful knowledge of music. I wonder what a dilettante can do to improve his grasp and further commit himself... Hmmm
