"In every adult there dwells the child that was,” observes author John Connolly. “And in every child there lies the adult that will be.”
It’s an apt turn of phrase, for childhood is as much a state of mind as a state of being—as we’ll hear in the next hour, with music for or about children by Mozart, Fauré, Ravel, Debussy, Elgar, Bartok and more.
