Thanks. Not just everyone will
understand what I wrote. Many
readers will need to listen to
the YouTube piece, and for the
first few times through
that music
will be a challenge for many
readers.
Glad you 'got it'.
It's not really psychology but
just Art 101. E.g., there's a
good reason Wagner wrote that
music; it's been darned effective
for well over 100 years; lots of
people 'get it', enough to keep
opera companies going around the
world.
"You mean you can make such sounds
with a symphony orchestra?"
"Yes, Virginia!".
The music can sound like what it
feels like to have a great loss,
a dear child, a loved spouse,
a company founded that failed,
a case of cancer, and much more.
Great losses are so common that
the music can 'reach' nearly
everyone in a large audience.
