Ponder on this


Euphoria pulls the trigger
Shooting us towards a race against time.
I am not bigger
So i have to be stronger
For the weak shall perish with no significance
Unoticed like a single drop of water in the shower
However the race ends or begins
The chosen one wins
Only if the path is right.
To claim the prize within a circle of life
That may never live.
There's a million
But if i am the chosen one,
Take all i have to give
Because i blindly do this for you
Let my struggle and death be the begining of something new.
If i'm the one in a million.

Music listening and enjoyment,musical memory and how engaged with music a person is are also apects of a musical mind a musical personality.

Irving Berlin,one of  the most successul composers of the 20th century, was a lousy instrumentalist and could barely play the piano.

Even among the elit,top tier classical musicians, there is more to being a musician than having excellent technique

Both Athur Rubinstein and Vladimir Horowitz are widely regarded as two of the greatest pianists of the twentieth century but they made mistakes- little technical mistakes-suprisingly often. A wrong not, a rushed note that isn't fingered properly.But as one critic wrote "Rubinstein makes mistakeson some of his records, but I'll take those interpretations that are filled with passion over the 20-two year old technical wizard who can play the notes but can't convey the meaning.


so in  a scientific sense-why are some musicians superior to others when it comes to emotional(verses the techinical) dimension of music? This is the great mystery, and no one knows for sure.

Interviews with,and diary entries of musicians ranging from Beethoven,Micheal Jackson,stevie wonder to Tupac suggest that part of communicating emotion involves technical,mechanical factors and part of it involves something that remains mysterious.
