In Reply to: A "sudzy" question: Can non-musicians ever truly appreciate/understand music to the extent that musicians do? posted by caspian@peak.org on August 6, 2012 at 11:48:49:
I think I can listen to music as good as any seasoned musician, I just never had the ability to play music..............
Heck, I've heard musicians who can play music but don't listen very well...... They play well, but often don't realize they're shifting to a different key or playing incorrect notes.......... A prime example of his is a talented young musician trying to speed-play RK's "Flight of the Bumblebee"...... It seems amazing, but most of the notes are played in the incorrect key........ (There are other performances on YouTube that are played correctly, if you want to compare.)
