In this chapter Ratliff said "Thelonious" isn't a piece of music about repetition. That is an outbreak of stubbornness within a greater whole. “Those repeated notes are the performer, or the subject of the song: they represent a person, a will. Again, those notes played several times, or many times, don’t amount to repetition for repetition’s sake; they are temporary interludes. They don’t lull the listener or fully take him somewhere else. When a musician temporarily stays close to a single note, it might make the musician and the listener more alive. ”

It puts you on notice. It is a marker, a reminder: wake up, get free of your momentum, you have somewhere to be right now. The difference between this and true repetition is that repetition puts a spell on you. The stubborn note takes a spell off you.”

Especially if we’re talking about popular music, in which the listener’s identification with the musician or singer is so directly on offer, so much the point. ” When a listener lets the music in, the listener embodies the music. He lives waking life with an earworm, or he moves at a club according to the information of a groove, or as a member of an audience he will help establish the tempos and dynamics of a band’s performance. In any case, feeling the rhythm is not too far from playing the rhythm, and one’s response to a repeated tone is to replicate the tone for yourself, hold it in your head, think along with it or sing along with it, and experience the musician darting above it and below it, putting it against other notes and chords.
