LE JEU DES SENS DANS LE DISCOURS SUR LA MUSIQUE
THE PLAY OF THE SENSES IN THE DISCOURSE ON MUSIC

Summary/Abstract: Music, as an art form, presents a notable resistance to any form of description, interpretation, or explanation through natural language. This often compels us to resort to language infused with fiction and imagination in our attempts to grasp it. However, some authors argue that fiction can only arise through the existence of a language and the conceptualization of space – two realms seemingly distant from music's essence. Our inquiry focuses on several pivotal questions: How can we articulate discourse about music under such circumstances? How is this discourse formulated and conveyed? Is it possible to attribute meanings and significance to music that are similar to those found in visual imagery? To delve into these inquiries, we embrace an analytical approach, drawing inspiration from the works of J.-P. Cléro, to dissect these complexities and propose potential solutions.
