Levinson defines a musical work as a dual structure‚ sound and means of performance (S/PM)‚ as "indicated" by a person at some time.

Definitely genuine... Really Touching... Very inspiring... These are just are just some of the words that I could really think of after watching this movie “Harmony”.

When considering historical figures in music‚ I tend to recognize similarities more within the life and works of Robert Schumann than any other. First and foremost‚ Schumann was a musical master of the Romantic
