RE: Beethoven and Ligeti- On the subjects of communication and perception (1.0)

Very nice! I'm curious to see how your discussion continues and where it leads...

A few disjointed scraps of thought from my side:

Interpretation - we associate the word with exegesis, meaning, explanation, conception or understanding. Depending on which synonym you have in mind, different contexts and scenarios are possible.

An artist can anticipate the reaction of his audience and thus play with it. By provoking, exposing, mocking or shocking...

‘Nature’ - as a whole, it certainly does not interpret us. But nature could be, for example, a dog that sees me as a friendly, food-giving and fur-brushing leader wolf. Or a neighbour who sees me as an ominous redhead.

Incidentally, I myself would add another meaning to the word: Presentation - a piece of music or a stage role is interpreted, which goes beyond explanation or understanding. Nature is also capable of this to a certain extent: with my reflection in the water, my footprints in the wet sand, my shadow...

Incidentally, you two are interpreting each other wonderfully ;-))

I will wait for a couple more comments before commenting on this answer of yours, because I've got a feeling that I will outputing the same idea a number of times. I'm keeping register, and, probably the full answer will come out in 2.0.

Regarding the meaning of interpretation, yes. It's all of the above.
:)

All I say for now is: A great, relaxed Sunday at the woodstove!
