The Melody Is Generally What The Piece

So Long As The Human Spirit Thrives On This Planet, Music In Some Living Form Will Accompany And Sustain It And Give It Expressive Meaning.

If One Were Asked To Name One Musician Who Came Closest To Composing Without Human Flaw, I Suppose General Consensus Would Choose Johann Sebastian Bach.

This Whole Problem Can Be Stated Quite Simply By Asking, “is There A Meaning To Music?” My Answer To That Would Be, “yes.” And “can You State In So Many Words What The Meaning Is?” My Answer To That Would Be, “no.”

You May Be Sitting In A Room Reading This Book. Imagine One Note Struck Upon The Piano. Immediately That One Note Is Enough To Change The Atmosphere Of The Room - Proving That The Sound Element In Music Is A Powerful And Mysterious Agent, Which It Would Be Foolish To Deride Or Belittle.

Music That Is Born Complex Is Not Inherently Better Or Worse Than Music That Is Born Simple.
