The Language of Music

A painter hangs his or her finished picture on a wall, and everyone can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one

can hear it until it is performed. Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly

dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical

student needs to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular


proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would be

inadequate without controlled muscular support. String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down,

while drawing the bow and to and fro with the right arm – two entirely different movements. Singers and instrumentalists

have to be able to get every not perfectly in tune. Pianists are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are already

there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuner's responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own

difficulties: the hammers that hit the strings have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion, and each overlapping tone

has to sound clear. This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conductors: they have to learn to

know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sounds with musical

knowledge and understanding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they

can enjoy performing works written in any century.
