taste in music

is a 'sublime' art in that it relates to reality not by imitating it,(which it can't) but by rising above earthly passions into an ideal realm in order to move them.

Music is a sublime art precisely because, unable to imitate reality, it rises above ordinary nature into an ideal world, and with celestial harmony moves the earthly passions.

is a chunk of time you are paying attention to with your ears.

A piece of music is simply a chunk of time you are paying attention to with your ears.

is a field of signifying that disperses meaning into a shimmering signifier.

for Barthes, music disperses meaning into 'a shimmering signifier,' and 'this phenomenon of shimmering is called signifying [significance]' (Barthes, 259).

is a field rather than a system because the referent is the body and the body passes into music.

For Barthes, music is best considered as 'a field of signifying and not a system of signs' because 'the referent is the body' and 'the body passes into music . . .

is a form (of time and sound) that rids us of the pervasive illusion that time is quantitative.

For Bergson, music removes us from our constructed illusion of quantitative time. Rhythm and measure interrupt it and bring us into duration, a sensation of time being and sound as an intensity (Bergson 1960: 12) . . .

is a form of social practice in which people's energies are put together.

According to Adorno, music is a form of social practice in which people's energies are put together (Paddison 1995).

is a less precise and yet much more effective language than words.

I've always thought it absurd for words to be added to music because I think music is a language, perhaps not a more precise one, but a much more effective language than language, than words. Fernando Sorrentino, Seven Conversations with Jorge Luis Borges
