Besides, a discerning mind is required to recognize and tolerate the limits of apes.

Though music is elementary math. Music communicates through emotions that far surpasses words. My pet line is "music goes where mere words cannot".

I like music because I like math is a fair statement in itself because those tones and intervals create interesting and pleasing sounds to our ears
Even Stravinsky somehow created interesting or pleasing tones and intervals out of what should not make musical or mathematical sense.
But that is a logical look....an intellectual picture.

Emotion brings presence and mood and immersion into the music itself. It experiences what the mind sees independently when it looks at music in the abstract.

That mind\body contact with music...that direct experience with music...that is the magic. If you can create it deliberately...like JLS ...or like you can JAPOV...Steve
There's humanity in that
