poiein from which the word is derived means nothingelse but to do or make. The poetics of the classical It is clear that Stravinsky intended for this to be about all so when I applied it to Jazz what surprisingly new meaning it gave me. I began to understand Mingus more deeply as did I understand John Coltrane and most of all, Thelonious Monk and Herbie Nichols. And of course it opened my ears to the music of Cecil Taylor, Anthony Braxton, Henry Threadgill and others. No longer am I bemused by the most far-reaching musical statements that those musicians made in their works. Stravinsky helped me – and continues to help me – understand more of the nuances not only of Beethoven, Bach and Mussorgsky, but also the great Jazz musicians. In fact, I found that Stravinsky’s lectures gave me a deeper understanding of life itself. I had always believed that music is life and hence tried to superimpose my life in music upon life itself. After all when we say to ourselves that ‘music is life’, it means exactly that: there cannot be life without music – at least for me no matter what and how many curve balls life threw at me – and I feel sure for many others as well. I understood this better when I read this in Poetics of Music: our mark by seeking to grasp what cannot be grasped?How shall we reasonably explain what no one has ever Musikhistoriographie(n): Bericht über die Jahrestagung der Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Musikwissenschaft.

What I amhere stating is self-evident and is clearly to be read melody ( melos)—"Melos" can also mean "music-dance", especially given that its primary meaning in ancient Greek is "limb" (an arm or a leg). This is arguably more sensible because then Aristotle is conveying what the chorus actually did. [17] a b Ezzaher, Lahcen E. (2013). "Arabic Rhetoric". In Enos, Theresa (ed.).

Aristoteles über den Ursprung des griechischen Dramas. Heidelberg 1991 good—Aristotle explains that audiences do not like, for example, villains "making fortune from misery" in the end. It might happen though, and might make the play interesting. Nevertheless, the moral is at stake here and morals are important to make people happy (people can, for example, see tragedy because they want to release their anger). I have no use for a theoretic freedom. Let me have something finite, definite — matter that can lend itself to my operation only insofar as it is commensurate with my possibilities. And such matter presents itself to me together with limitations. I must in turn impose mine upon it. So here we are, whether we like it or not, in the realm of necessity. And yet which of us has ever heard talk of art as other than a realm of freedom? This sort of heresy is uniformly widespread because it is imagined that art is outside the bounds of ordinary activity. Well, in art as in everything else, one can build only upon a resisting foundation: whatever constantly gives way to pressure, constantly renders movement impossible. For I consider that music is, by its very nature, essentially powerless to express anything at all, whether a feeling, an attitude of mind, a psychological mood, a phenomenon of nature, etc. Expression has never been an inherent property of music. That is by no means the purpose of its existence. If, as is nearly always the case, music appears to express something, this is only an illusion and not a reality. It is simply an additional attribute which, by tacit and inveterate agreement, we have lent it, thrust upon it, as a label, a convention – in short, an aspect which, unconsciously or by force of habit, we have come to confuse with its essential being.”

The Arabic version of Aristotle's Poetics that influenced the Middle Ages was translated from a Greek manuscript dated to some time prior to the year 700. This manuscript, translated from Greek to Syriac, is independent of the currently-accepted 11th-century source designated Paris 1741. [c] The Syriac-language source used for the Arabic translations departed widely in vocabulary from the original Poetics and it initiated a misinterpretation of Aristotelian thought that continued through the Middle Ages.
