Do we have anything in music that really wipes everything out? That just cleans everything away?
No one has the Houdini school of composition.
Music is essentially built upon primitive memory structures.
The composer makes plans, music laughs.
To understand what music has to be, you have to live for music. Who's ready to do that?
Most music is metaphor, but Wolff is not. I am not metaphor either. Parable, maybe. Cage is sermon.
