Quote of the week (week 54)

In the traditional system we could clearly perceive these three levels of musical language. The “acoulogical” stage, so well integrated that it seemed almost immutable, with no possible variants, was a certain number of sounds given by a well-determined range of instruments, which defined a “musical” totally purged of the “sonorous:. Then there were the structures given by musical theory and […] the whole melodico-harmonic code […] which of course gives rise to the entire traditional system of reference. Finally, there were the works, their meaning guaranteed by their internal economy (Schaeffer 1966: 626). SCHAEFFER, P (1966) Traté des Objets Musicaux Paris, Éditions du Seuil.
