Seeing is believing and when one sees what music looks like in geometric form, then the sting of practice is removed and one learns not only about music, how to play it, compose it, analyze it, but about art and science as well. The Renaissance is here . . . now. When the fundamental parts of music are viewed as geometric components and are rationally and scientifically categorized, making music becomes very similar to assembling tinker toys. With music we can construct and engineer any shape . . . Gothic cathedrals, roller coasters, molecules, abstract algebra.
Architecture is frozen music.
Music is fluent geometry. As the talkies in 1928 heralded the coda of the silent film, a decade later dawned the realization that the movies were a true art form. Schillinger saw and predicted this. Synthesizers, video recorders, computers, as well as the piano itself, are the tools of the 90's which this generation can use to fashion their statement. Schillinger's awesome legacy is their key to the gates of the Majestic Garden.
