One sometimes wonder what makes music ‘sing’. I often think it might be a way of questions and answers but in notes rather than letters. The question is ascending, the given answer descending. The music is logical but not predictable. This order of notes rather than letters distinguishes music from literature with both, of course , able to transport us to heavens and back.
One sometimes,( often), , when listening to music get feelings of exultations, yet we are hearing mere notes of sound with silence in between. Is it the note that transports us, or the silence in between? With a piece of music such as ‘Three blind mice’ we want to hop along, it is cheerful and makes us happy, while with music such as Mozart’s Elvira Madigan ( Piano Concerto 21) we just get quiet and reflective. We ask, have we lived a good life, or have I been a total ratbag etc? None the less, even the reflective Madigan gives us a kind of happiness as well, even if a bit sad or inward looking. Anyway, I think this almost weekly offering of music is a good balm. I certainly like it very much.
Thank you Hung one.
PS. Often between the question and anwser there is a continuing series of notes when the music actually really takes off, the story is then being told like an explanation or drawing us in into the personal side of things, perhaps it is a plateau raised above the level ground of our sensible or mundane lives, showing that there are new levels to explore.

I love co-incidence. Yesterday I bought a book Aaron Copeland’s “How to listen to music” – allegedly selling over a million and a half copies (US$7, A$20). Really interesting so far. While I am comfortable with my ongoing education in literature, I am decidedly uncomfortable with my lack of education in music. I feel a bit like next door’s Baltic Cavemen looking at a Jackson Pollock, hooting and jumping up and down – when I listen to music – equally without a really strong foundation of understanding of how I might get the most out of it. I suspect that music is another language, which like mathematics, so often goes over my bonce.
