A music score is only a template for the music. A human performer has to connect the notes so the essence that the composer wrote into the notes may be freed!
Sound and music
Forgetting about the sound of our systems for a moment, there is a larger question of how sound by itself integrates into our appreciation and comprehension of music. Those notes written by composers have no really significant meaning unless physically heard.
How much of a part does the sensual aspect of music play in its apprehension, and what part does the stringing of those notes together play? A musician can read a score and visualize ( or audio-ize) the meaning of the music but without the physical sound how much is missing?
This has significance in the debate over how one listens to a system: for the sound or for the music.

Music is way more than connecting the written notes... Musical times had two dimensions and two flowing directions not one dimension and one direction as physical time...Thermodynamic dont govern musical world... No written score can display the method and the means to translate these two interacting dimensions... The artist must touch the vertical time with his heart , going there or/and coming from there , for the melody to be born and live without dying in the horizontal metronomical measurable time ... This pianist plays with his pulsating heart sounds coming and going from physical time into vertical time.... The melody surge from his hand/heart not from the written score at all and anyway dont grow in the horizontal time as all Scriabin piano works...very diffricult to play , not so much by the virtuosity asked for but by the pulsating vertical dimension which must be manifested... For me as i feel it, rythm is in the horizontal time direction but expressive pulsation is on the vertical direction...Rythm flow but varied pulsations dont flow they surge as the playings grow... It is difficult to put in words... 😊 I am not a distinguished musician as the OP but a listener... It is my experience only... For sure when we live in musical time feeling it, the sound quality dimension is secondary...Music is meaning embodied in sound, as our soul is embodied here...it is better tob have a beautiful body with a beautiful soul...

A thread is what we do with it... It can be boring with a post like this :
or it can be interesting if someone add positively his contribution.. No other thread about this matter refer as in my post to the two dimensions of musical time by the way... Then this thread can become interesting with interesting posters... It is better to thanks the OP for the discussion instead of writing negative meaningless boring post... |
