Oh let's hope not! I mean, would you really want to "understand" the mystery
of a beautiful woman? Wouldn't you rather enjoy being intrigued by it? If
so, doesn't the same sentiment apply to music? I certainly think so. I want
to understand enough to be able to start the process of making it, but I
don't want to miss out on having it surprise me, even as *I* am the one
writing it. And never would I want to be know why a turn of a note, a nuance
of a harmony or the drive of a rhythm moves or excites me. I just want the
end result.
