I thank you for your kind heart wanting to comfort me :-), still I am sure that 'the fate of a melody' must be something else, a mystery in itself, rejecting any translation into words or any other signification system. <BR/>alas, the gods were not so generous with me. so I'll have to take your 'almost' and accept this consolation :-)Roxanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05650840495095863057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5281402533658280011.post-78813493958007636542008-08-30T05:01:00.000-07:002008-08-30T05:01:00.000-07:00ah, "la petite phrase musicale" ... c'est tout le ...ah, "la petite phrase musicale" ... <BR/><BR/>c'est tout le génie "syn-esthétique" de Proust; evoking experiences of the different senses in words ...
