There is a similarity between all forms of art. I Am A Strange Loop, by Douglas Hofstadter, explains this.<\/p>\n
Does the score of a Bach fugue contain a trace of the composer\u2019s soul or essence? Certainly there is a world of difference between the Old Master himself and a folio of his sheet music lying waiting to be played. Nevertheless, that objective musical notation does represent a pattern of symbolic activity that once danced through Bach\u2019s brain. And when we listen to a particularly sublime passage, Hofstadter speculates, are we not in some sense sharing in Bach\u2019s subjectivity \u2013 that is, in his experience?
\nPoetically speaking, Bach, Mozart, Shakespeare, Plato, Socrates and our loved ones can live on through us insofar as we can see the world through their eyes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe event, Lush Finesse, is scheduled for October 2nd, from 7-11 pm., at Fremont Hills Country Club, in Los Altos Hills.
