Are there things one can say in music but not in language, and - TopicsExpress



          

Are there things one can say in music but not in language, and vice versa? Are there things one can say in one language but not in another? One of my college professors said that if you claimed you couldnt translate or explain something from another language, you just werent trying hard enough. I am reminded of this by an article on Georg Friedrich Hass in todays Chronicle of Higher Education. Heres a quote: Music is more precise than language in communicating emotion, he says. Some things I cannot summarize in words, I can summarize in music. ... In language there is always misunderstanding.
