I think we are on the same page here, Insel. it is why I went so far to say "music is math" yet "math is not music". Being more successful at making math out of music is a function not an aesthetic (IMHO). A theory should not be the driving force in composition any more than technique should be the driving force in a performance... yet, often it is what some give highest regard.



Good enough. Yeah, I forgot your >>"music is math" yet "math is not music"<< thing.

(I wuz gonna say, if ears did all that calculating, most of us would be much better mathematicians. But I guess I don't have to, now )
