发帖数: 217 | 1 The rich taste of your favourite coffee is reflected in its rich history.
The beginnings of NESCAFÉ can be traced all the way back to 1930,
when the Brazilian government first approached Nestlé. Our coffee
specialist, Max Morgenthaler, and his team set out to find a way of
producing a quality cup of coffee that could be made simply by adding water,
yet would retain the coffee’s natural flavour. After seven long years of
research in our Swiss laboratories, they found the answer.

[0.1 挑选的原则]
每个这样的单子都必然是很主观的。我在这个单子里想强调两方面：
a. 我们今天所知的音乐的源头和开始在17——19世纪初。当然音乐史是连续的，但是
我们今天所知的音乐的核心——现代调性体系是在这个时期建立的。
b. 20世纪音乐。我个人作为一个对音乐有兴趣的人，很难对我们自己时代的音乐不感
兴趣。我觉得尽可能听新的音乐，对每个喜欢音乐的人都有很大的好处。这不是一个喜
欢不喜欢的问题。你需要抛除偏见，给新音乐一个机会，谁知道你会发现什么呢？所以
我加上了一些20世纪的重要作曲家的作品(当然他们也已经不是今天的作曲家了！)。
基于以上两个考虑，我建议主要从这些作曲家开始：18-19世纪：巴赫，亨德尔，海顿
，莫扎特，贝多芬，舒伯特，勃拉姆斯；20世纪：德彪西，勋伯格，斯特拉文斯基等。
