At the risk of sounding redundant, part of what we do here is discussion. We all know that music exists in the performance and that a score is merely a representation of what the music will be, but it makes for greater discussion if we can read along with what we're listening to so that we may more accurately discuss the details of the piece.

And, I still say that this is in the wrong zone. This area is for discussions on composition theory and you've posted a video of someone (presumably yourself?) playing an Asian string instrument that one can see coming in or out of any subway in NYC. I don't see how the two relate, and if it were intended as a discussion starter, then you should have started a discussion.

On a totally different note, as a lyricist and playwright who enjoys the works of William Shakespeare, Tennessee Williams, Stephen Sondheim and Sam Shepard, among others, I appreciated your discussion of rhythms in melodic lines, because the natural poetry in language fascinates me. it was interesting to theorize and discuss language as it applies to music.
