See the Music

  As everyone knows, music starts from sounds and ends as discourse in our mind. Between sounds and discourse, there are stages in which music is constructed by itself. Ever stage has it's own disciplines. These stages are similar to the research fields of language. This book makes the proposition that such fields can exist, and they can be explained by the method of phenomenological investigation.
 When we think of sound, we should understand that there are no qualities of sound outside our eardrum. There exist only wave movements in air in the outside world. In that viewpoint, we are reminded of the famous argument between Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein, which occurred in the late 1920's. Bohr insisted that when we closed our eyelid, the moon couldnot exist. Einstein was angered by and denied the truth of Bohr's opinion. However, being indebated to wave and sound phenomena, we have come to realize the correctness of Bohr's claim.
 As we do not believe that the cause of good prose is simply the arrangement of the letters of the alphabet, we could not think that the beauty of good melodies are solely the result of the arrangement of tones of scale, for example, "do, re, mi, fa..." The reason for a melody's attractiveness is derived from something more than the melody's structure. We have encountered many realizations during the process of exploring music phenomena. This book is written to share such pleasure, one that suddenly appears as we uncover secrets of musical structures, with the reader.
