It definitely has opened my ears to all these different concepts. I think about how difficult it is to achieve some of these elements in music. Musicians make it look easy but it is actually such a difficult process. I appreciate the process and the art behind the music now.

I feel as if in the chapter about Transmission, Ratliff seemed to contradict himself quite a lot or he was really confusing. At one point it seemed as if he thought you could definitely find emotion in music and point it out. But then he kind of switched around and changed that opinion.

My favorite aspect was the aspect of closeness in music. I feel as if that was something I really neglected whenever listening to music. When he says, "Closeness is developed overtime and its value to the ear is absolute" I realized how important it was and the skilled it required to be achieved.

I found Ratliff's book to be quite helpful. It helped me to explore new concepts in music and also to better understand them. I got to pay attention to aspects in music that I had never really taken into consideration before.
