No album, movie, or book should ever have to live up to 
the expectations attached to the ‘label “biggest selling of 
all time.” Luckily for Michael Jackson’s Thriller, that mo-
ment has passed and it’s just a matter of time before the 
same is true for James Cameron’s Titanic (the Bible howe-
ver, will have to deal with its popularity on its own terms). 
It seems that moving over 40 million units of an album 
(that also won a then-record number of Grammies) has 
had a stifling effect on Jacks n’s career. It’s difficult to se-
parate Jackson’s 1983 coro nation as the new “King” (or 
his inevitable descent from that throne) from the music

on Thriller. On the other hand, it’s possible these things give a sense of 
character to what was, like most Quincy Jones productions, just another 
Epic pop monolith. In fact, perhaps a com parison to one of Q’s other early-
-’80s productions is key to grasping the extent to which Jacko’s star persona 
impacts a Thriller spin.

exercício 2
Considere os seguintes trechos do livro “Child’s own book of Great Mu-
sicians: Beethoven”, de Thomas Tapper, disponível gratuitamente em:

1. Ludwig van Beethoven was born in the lovely town of Bonn, on the River Rhine, 
December 16, 1770.
2. The house in which he spent his boyhood is still standing. (...) It is now the Beetho-
ven House, or Museum, filled with mementos of the great composer. There you may see 
music pages written by him, letters, medals, instruments; even his ear trumpet is there.
3. Beethoven's father was a singer at the Chapel of the Elector. He was not a good 
father, for he did not care to work even enough to make his family comfortable. But the 
mother loved her boy with all her heart, as we shall see.
4. Ludwig was only four years old when he began to study music. Like children of 
today he shed many a tear over the first lessons. In the beginning his father taught him 
piano and violin, and forced him to practice. At school he learned, just as we do today, 
reading, writing, arithmetic, and later on, Latin.
5. Never again after thirteen, did Ludwig go to school for he had to work and earn 
his living.
