What is music?
What is music?
No matter how many times people tell you stories about what music means, forget them. Music is never about anything. Music just is. Music is notes, beautiful notes and sounds put together in such a way that we get pleasure out of listening to them, that's all there is to it. And when we ask "what does it mean, what does this piece of music mean" then we are asking a very hard question.
- Leonard Bernstein, conductor & composer
