Nov 20, 2019 at 14:31 | comment | added | Randy Zeitman | If someone asks me "What is the relationship between Energy and Mass?" my reply is that they be more specific because they may indeed just want the equation. If they said "Explain the relationship..." then they're more clearly asking for narrative. You say you want a longer answer. Why? What's not clear about my brief one? What point did another longer answer make that mine did not? | |
Nov 20, 2019 at 4:03 | comment | added | Marko | For the record, I did not downvote you. I'm merely holding onto my upvote until the answer is more fleshed out. To answer your comment: while saying E=mc^2 is beautiful in its brevity, it's also a meaningless answer to somebody who asks "What is the relationship between Energy and Mass?" -- its the pages of equations and exposition describing the theory of Special Relativity that somebody who is asking such a question would want. OP is asking "what is playing with feeling" and your answer is a very brief one that makes sense only to those who already know what playing with feeling is IMO. | |
Nov 20, 2019 at 3:53 | comment | added | Randy Zeitman | I'm curious to know what description of "artistic value" or number of examples changes the (superficial) distinction I made? Are you thinking simple equals superficial? ... like saying E=mc^2 isn't important because it's needs only a half-dozen characters instead of pages of equations. | |
Nov 20, 2019 at 3:20 | comment | added | Marko | I think this answer is hinting at what I'm also thinking, but presented in a somewhat superficial way. If you were to delve into how music is an artistic expression, and how it, as an art, derives its artistic value from two separate entities (the composer and the performer), you could easily improve this answer by explaining how a bland (or even machine-driven performance) leaves out "half of the art" of the musical piece. | |
