In 2006, pianist András Schiff gave a series of eight lecture-recitals covering the complete cycle of Beethoven piano sonatas. Here are all the lectures on one page. (Beware: The metadata on these mp3 files is all over the map.)
As an incompetent student of the Beethoven sonatas, I find these lectures absolutely riveting.
Note: Schiff assumes you are familiar with basic musical terminology, terms like exposition, subdominant, Neapolitan, enharmonic and quaver.
Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
