In this assignment, we were asked to watch the video "What Does Music Mean?" by Leonard Bernstein and share our thoughts about it.
Here is the video:
As I understand that Leonard Bernstein thinks that music is what you feel. Music is the emotions you feel inside while listening to chord. You need to concentrate While listening to music, we need to concentrate and focus only on the music and our feelings and find what the notes say. There is no limit to the emotions that music can make you feel, everyone has their own definition of music as everyone feels different emotions. You cannot describe the meaning of music because it is an abstract concept and has a very deep structure.
