Part III - Conclusion

Can we make conclusions about a piece of music?
As opposed to "concluding" my work on this blog, I would rather use this space to afford other thoughts, interpretations, and ideas about this piece and music in general. After spending so much time with this piece, listening and analyzing, I have come to question how it is we come to know music. In order to look at this piece, or any piece of music, we need to have some knowledge about the function of the musical language. However, if we think we can come to any conclusion on a song such as this, we are only closing ourselves to future, further interpretation.

This is a very strong analysis, and a fine use of the medium as a tool for aesthetic inquiry.

Kudos, Megan!
