Enigmas have always nourished the human imagination. From the Brandenburg Concertos to Enigma Variations we revel in the glorious tangle of riddles and puzzles of music we love.
We revel in the complexities of a mystery, in the exhilaration of searching for the key to unlock it. The music we love is a tangle of riddles and puzzles. Possibly waiting for us to solve it. But perhaps not knowing the answer is what we should truly cherish…
"I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth."
