On the Authorship of the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor

Tid: 17:01

Afspil

The most famous organ piece in history is one that you've heard a million times, even if you don't know its name, and even if you don't know its composer -- which, spoiler alert, I'll tell you right now: it's the Toccata and Fugue in D minor, by Johann Sebastian Bach. At least, that's the traditional view. But some say that it wasn't written by him at all. Turns out to be a real detective story -- but where will it lead us?

The great debunker

Conspiracy theories are fun, but debunking those conspiracy theories can be even more fun. Dunning does a great job - to the point and often funny.

Good advice on critical thinking

This podcast consistently gives good advice on how to employ critical thinking. For instance, Mr Dunning gives many examples on how incorrect but inutitively plausible explanations for phenomena are often accepted due to a poor understanding of various scientific fields.

I wholeheartedly recommend this podcast.
