Authenticity “Authenticity” is a difficult concept to put into words in the music realm because it is not clearly defined. There are so many different ideas about authenticity that we are forced to wonder if it actually exists and if so what is it, exactly. There is a widely used quote that says, “There is nothing new under the sun.” This quote applies directly to how music is made and passed down over time. There is no musician that is completely authentic. “Authenticity” is simply an idea created by society that no musical artist has achieved, artist give their own take on what is happening around them and in the world in general.
So that when he does, he can understand the book better. That is one of the things that Their Eyes were Watching God lacked, making it a good story, but not a great book. One instance proven by Wright is when he says, “Turpin’s faults as a writer are those of an honest man trying desperately to say something; but Zora Neale Hurston lacks even that excuse. The sensory sweep of her novel carries no theme, no message, no thought”( ¶ #5). When he says there is “no thought” he means that there is nothing in the book that makes the reader think.
It quickly became clear to me that that absence of a part of the head was not to be taken from a physical aspect. I feel as though this is more of a symbolic aspect if anything. The missing part of the head is meant to show a lack, and not of the obvious. The lack that the piece speaks of is that of understanding and/or intelligence, ignorance. The character is apparently oblivious to something, but what, I do not know.
This rebellion was not allowed by society and the Handicapper General, Diana Moon Glampers. “Harrison’s scrap-iron handicaps crashed to the floor,” (25). He ripped his and a ballerina’s handicaps off, had musicians play music without handicaps’ and doing so, Harrison illustrated his quality of being a non-conformist in this short story. Vonnegut crafted Harrison, a rebel in this story, to illustrate the irony that governmental control of a society and equality ruins individualism. Hazel is neither a non-conformist or conformist in Vonnegut’s short story.
Besides for these rules, no other rhythms may be used, and ties are not used in second species. It is important to look out for parallel fifths and octaves. Adjacent parallels must be avoided, especially those on strong beats as these are audible due to the fact that there is only one unaccented note between them. Adjacent parallels on weak beats are allowed as they are not audible. (Krebs,
However, in the process of experience, human cannot feel the “feeling” using the concepts of that “feeling”, which is named Qualia. For example, although someone has learnt all the theories he should know to generate the sense of pain, he can’t predict the result when the sense of pain really happens. Therefore, Qualia cannot be simply identified by physical knowledge, because it is subjective, and will change with environment’s change. In order to make the argument more convictive, Frank Jackson designed an experiment to explain that Qualia is nonphysical, and
Does not adjust gaze to look at objects that others are looking at v. Does not refer to self correctly (May say “you want that” instead of “I want that”) vi.

Does not make friends ii. Does not play interactive games iii.
If postmodernism rejects these narratives, the lines become nuanced and this might suggest an end of history for music – or perhaps a new development completely incomprehensible to today’s ear. Either way, the post-modern movement rejects metanarratives in society by blurring the lines between complex and accessible and even art music and pop. This study attempts to analyze a number of historic composers that have had a significant impact, or have been significantly impacted by society and politics. While parallels can be made through time, and indeed make for interesting analysis, this is not the concern for a study of where music is today in the hearts and minds of the people. Musical influence on society has increased but the art music influence is far more vague and multifaceted.
It would therefore be interesting to explore how the different methodologies can be applied to an artwork that was created in a time when such methodologies did not exist. The first task would be to look at what the methodology entails and how it relates (if any relations exist at all) to the chosen work. Formalism Formalism is the approach to art that stretch primarily the aesthetic effects created by the competent points of design. According to Roger Fry art has little or no meaningful connection with either artist who makes it on the culture to which it belongs. (Adams, 1996:16) These points are known as the formal elements and it includes the castings of line, shape, space, colour, light and dark.
Mathematics and Music (Mathematical World, Vol. 28) by David Wright PROVIDENCE, RI: AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY, 2009, 161 PP., US$35.00, ISBN-10: 0-8218-4873-9; ISBN-13: 978-0-8218-4873-9 REVIEWED BY EHRHARD BEHRENDS IIt is a commonplace that there are links between the world of mathematics and the world of music. But in the literature on these connections, the two areas play asymmetric roles. The reader is usually assumed to have some mathematical background: Mathematical terms and theories are used with little explanation. These investigations are hardly accessible to nonspecialists.
