Musical Diction

In my opinion, pianists are less ductile than other instrumentalists, and I am referring to the interpretation of notes and particularly their rhythmic values. Voice, string instruments, etc., are more expressive than the pf. and also make life easier for the performer

I am opening this topic starting from here:

"Music arouses feelings; it does not communicate information."

What do you think?

I completely agree. Music is by definition an "asemantic" art, meaning it does not express "concepts," unlike literature, for example. I believe this is what makes music an irreplaceable and ultimately eternal art: the feelings it communicates need someone to listen to it, and depending on who listens, the feelings that arrive will also change. Unexplainable and magical.
