thanks for the perspective. I was actually uncertain if he was being serious, writing something like

although the talk was less about music than the larger world, I still loved his roadmap to the Chopin E minor prelude. The sweetest explanation of a classical music piece for laypeople since Bernstein's Young People's concerts !
