The Composer as a
Personal Guide
through the
Cognitive Process
Being involved in the finding of truth, the musical process of knowing itself establishes the link between the subject and the object of cognition.
This process of knowing is based primarily on the refinement of the cognitive process itself – particularly on the refinement of the tools of cognition: our intellect, our feeling and understanding, our mind, our sense of hearing, our neurophysiology, and our outer organ of hearing, the ear.
Certainly,
the listener relies also on the potential structural refinement of the acoustical
event during the concert.
In particular, however, his cognitive process is based on the guidance of
the music creator, a guidance that happens most discreetly, without giving
the listener the feeling of tight reins – on the contrary, indeed, this
guidance takes him to the personal experience of greater individual freedom.
