Q: Why does music theory exist?
A: i actually don't know what it is. sometimes i think people just mean literacy but i really have no idea what they mean. there is a general understood understanding of what it means but as soon as i start to think about what it might mean the more it completely unravels and i cannot figure out what they would possibly mean. but i suspect it often simply means literacy, which is just like knowing how to read etc. which exists for communication purposes
