Hi all
I am convinced that music, also instrumental music can have exact meanings or messages, at least in some symbolic way.
As an example I am convinced that Bach´s "Air on the G-string" is about something very specific.
For me that piece is about mercy. Or something like that. That is the best way I can describe it.
I believe that Platos´s allegory of the cave is actually true. The best music is an attempt to describe music that already exists in another dimension.
Thie earthly music may be more or less equivalent to the orginal.
It can however never be exactly the same as the original.
I wonder how the original "Air on the G-string" would sound like !
I wonder if there is anyone who knows instrumental pieces, that they feel are about something very specific ?
