Actual Whole of Music

Many years later a small boy would say to me, 'What's inside music? If the bit we hear is just the skin of it, the scent, what's the actual whole of music?' There wasn't a great deal I could say to him in reply. Not then. But his question took me back to our expeditionary era, which did feel like a time of transaction as well as transition.

Multi ani mai tarziu, un baietel imi spunea: ,,Ce este in interiorul muzicii? Daca fragmentul pe care il auzim este doar pielea lui, mirosul, care este intreaga muzica? Nu puteam sa-i spun mare lucru ca raspuns.
