How beatiful a thing it is to be inspired. Truly something to be grateful - to have the angels dance with your soul, even for a moment

It is not about “speaking music as a language.” When you converse with a friend about what they did the day before, you are using the English language, and they don’t “become emotional or start crying.” You just converse plainly about what they did the day before. It is not the quality of “language” that makes people sob when listening to music. This characterisation is very reductive and erroneous. Your friend told you that he felt that “every note mattered” because you delivered it well, not robotically, but rather from a profound integration of the major and minor scales. This integration lets you think less about the technical part and be more present in delivering the meaning. It is the same in theatre when people perform Shakespeare. There are intonations and rhymes, but in the end, all these technicalities should be assimilated to a point where, in the final performance, they become second nature, allowing you to become one with the character. But to attribute this to the quality of music being a “language” is incorrect.

This is a great point! Certainly music is not linguistic, and trying to fit it into objective communicative forms makes zero sense... but it has many parallels to language. Both in the way melodies are formed (sentences, syllables, emphasis, momentum, flow or lack thereof) and how the nature of harmony across musical styles forms types of grammar. I find it can be helpful to view music "as" (or "in the spirit of") a language in order to engage more deeply with it. Whether or not it is technically a language... certainly it's not the same as a spoken language... and if it could be considered a "subjective language" I have no idea! The analogy can be helpful regardless.

@@beckyreesormusic I don't think you got my point. Music is definitely a language. My point was that what you stated in the video of how your friend was affected is not *because* music is a language, it is because you are a talented musician and the music you performed is also beautiful. If your friend hears a Czerny etude for the left hand, even if its also music and also a language, he wont have the same emotion as what he experienced listening to the piece you performed. that's it, and bravo for your performance🙂
