But during it one senses the interconnectedness of things, the flow and pulse of the collective subconscious--what in another age was called the "quick" of life. A transcendent moment like this reveals the order or chaos behind life; it generally makes one feel inconsequential, a minute speck in the cosmic scheme.

The story is further spiced with a succession of sometimes amusing, and always appropriate, anecdotes. (We are told, for example, about the occasion in a Swedish maternity clinic when his Piano Concerto K 467 was successfully used to ease childbirth...
