Norman Reppingen invites comments on:
>How does smell, the smelling of the rosesoil, cedar, or limette
>influence the creation, or also important, the reception of music?
An interesting question. However, I'd like to turn it on its head:
what about music that tries to capture the sense of smell. I immediately
thought of Mahler's setting of "Ich atmet einen Lindenduft" (I inhaled the
scent of lilac). Can anyone think of others.
The relationship between music and scent - a fascinating topic. And
not too far off-topic, I hope is a recommendation for Patrick Susskind's
Perfume: the story of a murderer. This is all about the world of scent.
A totally transforming book.
Cheers,
Eric
