there are two musics
(or so I’ve always thought):
one you listen to,
one you play.

they are two entirely different arts,
each with its own history, sociology, aesthetics, erotics:
the same composer can be minor
when listened to,
enormous when played —

take Schumann.

Such are the figures of the body
(the “somathemes”),
whose texture forms
musical signifying,

(hence, no more grammar,
no more musical semiology:
issuing from professional analysis—
identification and arrangement of
“themes”, “cells”, “phrases”—
it risks bypassing the body (…)

These figures of the body,
which are musical figures,
I do not always manage to name.

For this operation requires a metaphorical power
(how would I utter my body except in images?),
and this power can occasionally fail me:
“it” stirs me, but I do not find the right metaphor.

je suis à la fois maître et esclave :
je ne me contente pas de répéter ce qui a été dit,
de me loger confortablement dans
la servitude des signes :

je dis, j'affirme, j'assène
ce que je répète.
