This really is a great guide that covers plenty of ground, from the musical to the historical to the cinematic to the comedic.

Lunch Binge: Get to Know the Cello!

,

Is bingeing on a playlist of cello music really a binge at at? Well, if bingeing is diving into something and gobbling up, even in five minutes chunks, then yes it is! The cello has a unique and amazing voice, with a higher range than most people think. And like the violin and viola, its expressiveness can be thought of as similar to that of a human voice. There’s 90 minutes of music here that you can play right now. Thanks for sharing such beauty and brains, NYT!
