Jane Erb on David Cozy's distinction between "seeing" and "hearing" a concert: >This is a constant (unserious) disagreement at our house. He says heard, >while I contend that I can hear a piece over the radio or CD player. If >I was there, I say I saw the XYZ Philharmonic. As my hearing is pretty >good, I contend that if I saw it I also heard it, as I don't talk my way >through a concert. Actually, I go to a concert to both see and hear. As Yogi Berra said, "You can observe a lot by watching." I've found out some very interesting things about music and musicians that probably wouldn't have occurred to me through listening, even with a score. For example, as much as I love and admire Leonard Bernstein's music, I've discovered that the musical interest in his work tends to lie in the upper parts. His bass parts are usually far easier -- often pedal points. In short, not every player has something interesting to do. I've also discovered this really fabulous babe amongst the violas.
