The work
Leonard Bernstein, at the time chief conductor of the New York Philharmonic, ran a series of education about musical topic. The topic "Humor in Music" was one of the lectures with music played by the orchestra.
On the "A" side of the album and a portion of the "B" side, Bernstein reviews the use of humor in classical music, include the use of dissonant notes, non-musical noises, "wrong notes", and musical overstatement, and the role of bassoona and the squeaky E-flat clarinet as the orchestra's jokesters. On the "B" side, Bernstein conducts the New York Philharmonic in a performance of Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks, a tone poem by Richard Strauss.
The spoken portion of the album was remastered in 2013 and is available on YouTube.[1]
Reception
Bernstein received the 1962 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album for the album.[2]
