grgr (20): music & crying

[Lorentzen / Nicklaus]

 "the origin of music, closely related to that of crying, is (...) a kind of 
 gesture. it is the gesture of solving. the tension of the muscles in the face 
 gives way, that tension which, paradoxically, closes the face through 
 turning it in action to the environment. music and crying open the lips and 
 give way to the arrested human being."

 (m.o.p.a.t. from adorno's "philosophie der neuen musik" [1949], p. 122)
