Show moreIn the fall of 1973, Leonard Bernstein assumed the Poetic Chair of the Charles Eliot Norton Lectures and presented The Unanswered Question: Six Talks at Harvard in which he extended Noam Chomsky's linguistic theory of deep structure and transformational grammar to encompass not only musico-linguistic analogues, but also the deeper abstract concepts these forms of communication share. Most importantly, he explored beyond this conceptual domain to an even more essential source of creative expression---the realm of the ineffable.
