Be­ing in­volved in the find­ing of truth, the mu­si­cal proc­ess of know­ing it­self es­tab­lishes the link be­tween the sub­ject and the ob­ject of cog­ni­tion.

This proc­ess of know­ing is based pri­mar­ily on the re­fine­ment of the cog­ni­tive proc­ess it­self – par­ticu­larly on the re­fine­ment of the tools of cog­ni­tion: our in­tel­lect, our feel­ing and un­der­stand­ing, our mind, our sense of hear­ing, our neu­ro­physi­ol­ogy, and our outer or­gan of hear­ing, the ear.

Cer­tainly, the lis­tener relies also on the po­ten­tial struc­tural re­fine­ment of the acous­tical event dur­ing the con­cert.
In par­ticu­lar, how­ever, his cog­ni­tive proc­ess is based on the guid­ance of the mu­sic crea­tor, a guid­ance that hap­pens most dis­creetly, with­out giv­ing the lis­tener the feel­ing of tight reins – on the con­trary, in­deed, this guid­ance takes him to the per­sonal ex­peri­ence of greater in­di­vid­ual free­dom.
