Allow me to second your contention! I suppose when I wrote this I got swept up in word-chauvinism, and withheld narrative structure only to what could be told with words. I don’t really think this is right anymore.
May amend it to something like: “musical stories are affect-narratives.”
>music alone doesn’t give us a story—it can only color it
i would contend with that! music can be representational, though it also depends on the listener's imagination
lovely essay overall!
Thanks for reading :)
