"the hearing of a melody is a hearing with the melody...it is even a condition of hearing melody that the tone present at the moment should fill consciousness entirely, that nothing should be remembered, nothing except it or beside it be present in consciousness...hearing a melody is hearing, having heard, and being about to hear, all at once. every melody declares to us that the past can be there without being remembered, the future without being foreknown." /victor zuckerkandl
