[MD] Music as Intellect?

[MarshaV]

Greetings Jorge,

I love music of all kinds.  It is an intricate 
part of my daily experience.  This night I have 
given myself a long planned for experience.  I 
settled into a comfortable chair, and listened to 
Tannhauser.  That has got me to thinking.  I was 
wondering if you could give a specific example, 
using a particular piece of music, with which to 
analyze your analogy?  And I'm not sure of what 
you mean by E for acknowledgement.  Acknowledgement?

Marsha
