Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

George Rochberg (July 5, 1918 – May 29, 2005) was an American composer of contemporary classical music. Born in Paterson, New Jersey, Rochberg attended first the Mannes College of Music, where his teachers included George Szell and Hans Weisse, then the Curtis Institute of Music, where he studied with Rosario Scalero and Gian Carlo Menotti. He served in the United States Army in the infantry during World War II.
Rochberg served as chairman of the music department at the University of Pennsylvania until 1968 and continued to teach there until 1983. In 1978, he was named the first Annenberg Professor of the Humanities.
He married Gene Rosenfeld in 1941, and had two children, Paul and Francesca. In 1964, his son died of a brain tumor.
Rochberg died in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania in 2005, aged 86. Most of his works are held in the archive of the Paul Sacher Foundation in Basel, Switzerland. Some can also be found in the Music Division of the New York Public Library, the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City, New York, the University of Pennsylvania, Curtis Institute of Music, Philadelphia, and the City University of New York.

Nick Kendall Interview
Violinist Nick Kendall and his Time for Three bandmates started jamming together as students at Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute of Music. Since then, the string trio has become famous for uniting classical and popular music in its recordings and concerts. John Mark Rafacz speaks with Kendall about Time for Three’s approach to making music. The violinist talks about the trio’s desire to have fun on stage, and with the audience, while taking its music seriously. Kendall also hints at the songs the trio is likely to include in its Penn State concert debut on February 26, 2015. An excerpt of Time for Three’s cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” from the album “3 Fervent Travelers,” enhances the webcast. Music copyright 2010 E1 Entertainment.

2. Interview with Temple Painter
3. Three Sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti.
Temple Painter (June 14, 1933 – August 6, 2016) was an American harpsichordist and organist.
He was born in 1933 in Pulaski, Virginia.
Temple Painter performed as solo organist with members of the New York Philharmonic at Lincoln Center under Hermann Scherchen, as harpsichord soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy, and as solo harpsichordist for the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. He performed as solo pianist, harpsichordist and organist with the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, and concertized extensively in the United States, Europe and Israel.
His 1962 critically acclaimed recording Temple Painter-Harpsichord Recital on the Artia-Parliament label was cited by The New York Times in 1964 as the most satisfying of the five harpsichord recordings reviewed that year. He also recorded the harpsichord music of American composer Harold Boatrite and can be heard as harpsichord soloist and continuo player in Handel's Roman Vespers recorded by the Philadelphia Singers and the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia on RCA Red Seal Records.
Painter was a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music and the recipient of several honors and awards including the Martha Baird Rockefeller Grant and an honorary Doctorate from the Combs College of Music. In addition, he was a National Arts Associate of the Sigma Alpha IotaInternational Music Fraternity.
He was for 40 years the permanent harpsichordist for the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, and for 45 years the organist at Congregation Adath Jeshurun, Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. Additionally, he was associate professor of music at Haverford College for 13 years, and was lecturer in music at both Immaculata University and Temple University.
Temple Painter's recording of the Two- and Three-part Inventions of Johann Sebastian Bach was unfinished at the time of his death.
He died at Hahnemann University Hospital, Philadelphia, on August 6, 2016, aged 83.

Harpsichord Recital CHAMBONIERS Chaconne
From the Artia LP: Temple Painter, Harpsichord Recital
CHACONNE…………….……. J.C. CHAMBONNIERES (1602-1672)
Chambonnieres, the founder of the French school of ‘clavecin’, is reported to have ‘excelled every performer in the roundness and softness of his touch’. From what we know of this master and his music, it becomes apparent that his was an art that spoke directly to the heart. The CHACONNE opens with a theme of exceptional warmth and beauty. Five repetitions of this theme are linked together by a set of colorful variations or couplets. Now pensive, now forceful, now wistful, now gloriously alive with ornaments and flourishes, they form a fantastic procession which ends inevitably where it began.

Harpsichord Recital BYRD Pavana
From the Artia LP: Temple Painter, Harpsichord Recital
PAVANA……………………………………William Byrd (1542-1623)
The music of the Age of Tudors found its perfect expression in the art of William Byrd. Byrd was ‘bred up to musick’ by the great Thomas Tallis, and with Tallis shared the honored position of organist for the Chapal Royal. Regarded with highest esteem by his contemporaries, Byrd is generally considered one of the greatest composers of his era. His music speaks to us today with the power of its beauty and perfection lessened not in the least by the passage of four hundred years. The stately little pavana recorded here is an exquisite moment from the past, captured and preserved for all time.

Andante - 6:36 / Rondo - 10:03
Digitized from the LP shown above, released in 1965 on the Columbia label. Eugene Ormandy leads the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Mason Jones (1919, Hamilton, New York – 18 February 2009, Wynnewood, Pennsylvania) was an American horn player and music educator who had a lengthy association with the Philadelphia Orchestra as principal hornist under conductor Eugene Ormandy.

Harpsichord Recital PURCELL Ground in C minor
From the Artia LP: Temple Painter, Harpsichord Recital
GROUND IN C MINOR…………………..H. PURCELL (1658-1695)
The GROUND IN C MINOR is one of the finest examples of this English master’s art. The ground, or foundation of this exquisite piece of music is a gently flowing four measure figure which is repeated again and again. To this constant accompaniment, striking variations in the upper voices appear one by one. A resounding variation for full harpsichord brings the work to a close.

Harpsichord Recital HANDEL Suite XI in D Minor
From the Artia LP: Temple Painter, Harpsichord Recital
SUITE XI IN D MINOR……….……….……G.F. Handel (1685-1759)
In 1714, the year that George, the Elector of Hanover, ascended the throne of England, Handel decided to make England his permanent home. Handel’s improvisation at the keyboard was already legend, and his virtuosity at the harpsichord was unrivaled even by the fabulous Scarlatti himself. In the SUITE NO. XI IN D MINOR, we find Handel turning to the past for inspiration. For a moment, he forgets his brilliant keyboard technique, and with masterful style and a flair for illusion, he deftly transforms the harpsichord into a soft and persuasive lute. A gently undulating ALLEMANDE and rollicking COURANTE seem to serve as a prelude to an extraordinary beautiful SARABANDE. (No more beautiful expression than this is to be found in the whole of Handel’s keyboard works.) Almost as an afterthought, the little GIGUE ends the suite with a bit of humor.
