miss3v3lyn Says:
Apr 11, 2012 - Oh I love music! The experience of music is not quite about what the words in the music express, but the sound of it, every beat of it, every sound of every instrument playing.

Apr 25, 2012 - Wait... she's deaf?
dawaxer Says:
Apr 27, 2012 - I understand what she's saying, and I agree to a certain extent. But every time she changes the same piece- everything she does different the second time can be noted on the sheet music. So if the second one is better but not strictly how it's written, she's obviously just a better musician/composer than the original composer; instead of so much about interpreting as a musician.

Apr 28, 2012 - I watched this on mute.
TheSkippyvon Says:
Apr 30, 2012 - The difference is in the level of detail of that notation--To actually notate all of the individual choices an artist makes would cover the piece and create an insurmountable task for any performer other than the individual who premiered the piece. The second one is better because the artist allows themselves to interpret the beauty of the music created by the composer through the lens that is their own experience of life and of the music.

May 13, 2012 - my friend i am an audio engineer mastering is the exact process that you are mentioning and i think that most of the music you love is mastered in the very same way. mastering is taught as a good our bad thing one or the other.

cablegunmaster Says:
May 16, 2012 - @akakoalaby I don't agree with music being listened and enjoyed as one. Music for me is in many levels different . Every type of music. I enjoy on a different level. Every type of music has its own type of enjoyment. Its own enlightening and its own peaks and down. Yes its all bass and treble. But the different type of technique's . The amount of difference between a piano and a guitar is sometimes so different. We enjoy music in different levels. Yes we are all people but all different. Listen!

akakoalaby Says:
Mar 28, 2012 - missed your point? you didnt finish it.. essentially: a higher consciousness that we arent mindful of forms some kind of a culture in which our humanness can develop. from here we from all of our quirky human traits which we can express with things like music. so dumb artists = crappy... see you kind of trailed off at that point. go on and tell people how our iq basically determines how good we are at music. if youre trying to say something else say it in a way that youtube will understand. btw.
