Very interesting topic. Just wanted to pass along that this came up during music theory today. Our discussion was inspired by a quote in the hs physics room about music not being merely the notes written on the page. It's kind of neat when things line up like that.

Our collective reaction was that music does not happen unless it is interacted with. A stack of papers with notation on it is just that; meaningless paper until someone comes along and either reads it silently to one's self or renders it on their instrument of choice.
