Analysis and interpretation

The content on this page was translated automatically.

Music is far from being a "language" in the sense of meaningful particles and uniform grammar. It is precisely the difference to "language" that is the most interesting thing about music: its ambiguity, openness and untamed nature.

It requires mental processing in order to be able to take one's own position in music. Musical expression is formed through countless signs, hints and connections, also through rational rules or seemingly irrational breaks. Music has a broad spectrum of expressive possibilities, a more or less concrete vocabulary and a unifying force, which is why the term "musical language" will always be defined in the context of its own, in the field of tension between analysis and interpretation.
