Yes thank you, it does help. Yet it doesn't specifically address my
question which asked for an example. I know now that "intellectual"
music, in quotes or not, appeals to the mind and that there is music
that appeals to the spirit (the soul maybe). What I would like to know
(if it can be answered): Can you or anyone give me a specific example
of a piece of music that appeals solely to the mind?
