Does anyone ever feel or wish that they had a sublime, profound, divine, etc. musical ear or feelings? I am not saying that some of you do not, it is just that I know I do not, and was wondering if anyone else wished that they were so moved by the feelings of life, nature, the divine, sublime, profound, etc.- that they could write about it- with ease.
What I mean is, to my understanding, the master musicians (Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, etc.) could hear an entire sonata and then immediately play it! Unbelievable isn't it?
Sometimes, I sit and think, if I was given the great gift of music- What would I write about? How would my/your music sound? Would it be worthy of the divine powers, worthy of purity, etc.
To imagine writing something so touching as that of Beethoven- it must be sublime. For instance, Beethoven was moved by music to such a great degree- that, he lived through all the tormented hell his life gave him- and lived, because of the music. Stone deaf and sick as a dog, yet, filled with brilliant genius, he lived on- through music.
I think the power of music- can be (depending on the music)- one of the most profound and sublime, etc. experiences a person can have. Unfortunately, it is one of the few that people have. Spirituality, dwells- in certain music, it seems. Such as, the spiritual and sacred music.
I believe the reason spirituality surrounds the, sacred and pure music- so greatly, is because- it is the pathway to feelings of the pure and sacred- and naturally- proper feelings, are the pathway to the divine, etc.
Also, concerning feelings, it seems to me, that so many of us human beings- have no real understanding of spiritual feeling, and therefore, resort to wastefulness or wasteful feeling.
