Abstract

To experience music as it is exactly is a great thing, but a difficult thing. Being an audience to a piece of music does not ensure such experience, and in fact the performers of music themselves can experience music. Bystanders and composers also experience music in unique ways. All of these people who experience music have parts of their experience in common. The music affects each and every person, and each and every person then recovers the music in a particular way. To recover music is to be able to respond to music as well as simply to listen to it. When you respond to music, "you make your mark on it, casting it in your terms. But the [music] makes its mark on you as well, teaching you not only about a subject but about a way of seeing and understanding a subject" (Bartholomae and Petrosky 4). You will be able to "see through someone else's powerful language" (Bartholomae and Petrosky 4).
