Pablo Massa: >But I'm intrigued: why wouldn't be serious to >think in a precise colour at hearing (or mentioning) a Mahler's symphony?. >Would this "degrade" the music?. Would this be a symptom that I'm nuts?. >In that case let's state this clearly: I'm *seriously* nuts. Serious or not seems beside the point. Why think in a color at all? Do so if that's the way your mind works. Why not think in terms of a particular sport? The Sixth = soccer; The Eighth = baseball. It's one's own mind, after all. The question I have is why the arbitrariness of one mind should be seen as applicable to others. Steve Schwartz
