Chapter 1 The non-patient’s view

Candida A Disease of Antibiotics
We discuss each disease in relation to developing medical knowledge and practices, and to social changes associated with ‘modernity’.

The notion that classical piano music should be so strictly bound to the letter of its score is actually a rather new development, historically speaking. The importance of improvisation for keyboard players only began to decrease in the early 19th century, despite the fact that it had been regarded as a crucial ability for every professional performer until then
