As it happens, I was thinking about this just yesterday and the thought
I had is that music can be heard as a form of nonverbal communication.
Quite a lot can be transmitted that way, as the very interesting article
in the August 21st New Yorker about conductors and what they can communicate
to players, sometimes even just with their eyes, suggests.

More later, because I have to be somewhere, but I just had to toss out
this thought right away.
