We're confusing the composition and the performance. No matter how artful, the music itself is a mathematical progression. The performer brings emotion to it. Of course the difference between pianissimo and fortissimo can be explained mathematically. But it can be interpreted in a variety of ways by different musicians. Paul Stenquist
