Words being just symbols of meanings, so are sounds,
I see or imaging endless images as "The Moldau" music unfolds.
You might say it's illustrative music, but to me It's beautiful.

Why use the word "text", instead of just calling it an arrangement of
sounds?
And unless you have read the score, don't you know that music only by
performances -- each of which is different, often in very important
ways?
BTW -- the difference between the score and the performance is one
of the
problems I have with Kivy.
Since he only addresses the issue of the relative profundity of
various
composers, perhaps he's one of the few music lovers who can
experience music
by reading scores.
But I only know music from performance, so I experience performers
rather than
composers. (for example, I find Beethoven's Fifth Symphony to be
frivolous
when performed by Karajan, but profound when conducted by Carlos
Kleiber)
