Music is surely among the most baffling of the arts in its power to
move people profoundly whether or not they have any technical expertise or
intellectual understanding of it. If a few combinations of pitches,
durations, timbres, and dynamic values can unlock the most hidden
contents of a man's spiritual and emotional being, then the study of music
should be the key to an understanding of man's nature. Music is a code in
which the deepest secrets of humanity are written.
