Maybe I’ve come to love chamber music so much because of the
constant evidence it gives of human ability to respond to another. Every nuance of every
note depends on communicating, on agreed-upon emphases: volume, timbre, tempo, interpretation—and, I
believe, some instinct that allows for perfect consonance. It’s like an emblem
of the possibility of understanding at the deepest level.
How terrible to be
deaf, and not to experience this!
