Forgive me if the reference is inaccurate -- I do not remember the
appropriate articles to reference. Also, I am unable to quote previous
articles for the above reason. This is a problem with being new to the net.
It is sure to resolve with experience.
Anyway...
Music is definitely symbolic. A piece of music evokes a certain feeling
consistently. As stated in previous articles by others, the structure of the
music itself is what contains the symbolism. I fail to see, as someone
appeared to imply, that symbols in one language (ie. music) must necessarily
be translatable into another language (ie. written english). If this were the
case, what would be the need (or desire) for both languages, since one serves
the purpose successfully?
