Comment:

Pachelbel's "Canon in D" is a perfect accompaniment to reading Dickens, while Glenn Gould's interpretation of Bach's "Goldberg Variations" is more suited to contrasting Rilke to Spender, or perhaps reviewing RNA synthesis in mammalian cells. Fretwork's "Pavan," on the other hand, lends itself to Thucydides' [i]Peloponnesian War History[/i].
