Music is a dreadful thing.
What is it?
I don't understand it?
What does it do?
It exalts the soul.
Utter nonsense.
If you hear a marching band is your soul exalted?
No you march.
If you hear a waltz you dance.
If you hear a mass you take communion.
It is the power of music to carry one directly into the mental state of the composer.
The listener has no choice.
It is like hypnotism.
