Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
The origin of the phrase ‘Writing about music is like dancing about Architecture’ has been the subject of much discussion and has been attributed to various people. Current evidence points to American actor, musician and painter, Martin Mull (b.1943) as the first to use the dictum in the public sphere. However, he does not claim to have originated it, but to have borrowed it from a story he once heard. Research has found that as far back as 1918 a similar form appeared in New Republic; ‘writing about music is as illogical as singing about economics’.
