Sarabande

This musical piece has mind soothing qualities with its use of intricate orchestral instruments. It has a storytelling atmosphere to its music. It is elegant to hear and very pleasing to the ear. It is what I would expect to hear at a formal professional environment. Perhaps at an award show or at a dinner party with people in dress clothing.

Muddy Waters - "Baby, Please Don't Go", is a performance that has a lot of soul in it. It has a very blue feel to it. The singer also has an accent so it maybe a song that is played in informal gatherings. It makes  you feel a bit gloomy and distressed.

Hoffman tries to make the connection to Telemann when proposing the idea if someone told him to always look at things rationally, in a major key like Telemann, he would get angry. In other words someone who always looks at things level headed is not someone who Hoffman is. Sometimes behaving irrational may feel like a rational thing.
