Music has to be rescued from reading notes decorum, it has to be located in the heart and in the head. In the heart, most of all, as a proof of love. To love what is appropriate, aware, inventive, varied. Reason is guide, and nothing more. Reason is the basis of the creation, not in itself the end of it. Besides the structure, unity, and purpose, have a little delight, some fantasy and perhaps playfulness. Music must instruct as well as please. Ah yes, and it's been the (dreary) study of classical plaster cast that has dulled my appreciation of the Greeks and Romans. Just as learning doctrines tarnished the brilliance of Scriptures. =P
