THIS MONTH's QUOTATION
If music is read, as from a book, it is as if we address its voice as singular. It is located on a page, and we point to that page when we discuss it. We do not invent vocabulary for the elements with which we work and we do not negotiate their relation in a narrative; we allude to them as figures in bar 9, page 3. They are repeated or varied more or less automatically unless one is conscious about establishing an alternative.
