Did any matematichian liking classics did it ? You know 7 notes, 7 colors, etc. Some composers were synesthets (has mixed senses about an object, sound) (Skrjabin e.g.).
What picture or what non verbal information gives musics to us beside pleasure, garmony and melody sense? So are there research here, computer programs and some achievements?
What is melody? Does it have a counterpart (for our brain) in real life, say a unique "tree", or unique "leaf", a unique sense of pity, hapiness for example? Maybe they exists in every brain that is why we have a pleasure looking at it (I know I should and like write fantastic tales rather science talks)
About something else besides only our pleasure. Let you listen last Beethoven quartets https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_string_quartets_(Beethoven)
I have a sense that there are SO MANY INFORMATION behind the melody in it... It is hard to express in words.. :))
From psychology of memory. Look at the case of musician Clive Wearing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clive_Wearing
After herpesviral encephalitis disease he forgot everything, every verbal memory (!) but he could play piano well (he safed non verbal memory)!
Is it possible to decode the melody in a visual way as a picture? Like yhe computer will learn "meanings" (pictures, other senses) of different melodies. Suppose 33 variations on Diabelli by Beethoven and different musicians who will interpret it.
From my simple belief, I think music or very basically sound creates a vibration of particular frequency (it is well-known to all) , which affects different listeners differently. So some emotions which make a person feel happy or lonely, is well connected with the thought of the person. which can be stimulated by musical vibrations. As our saliva fills when we hear or smell of pickles, similarly musical vibrations create different emotions in our mind. So music which were composed classically were actually matched with different objects of nature. So I think your second part of the question matches here.
1. Say about melody. We feel it as a closed (full, complete) "object" from which we feel a pleasure. A sense of beauty is here also. But it is all. Everything is limited by our senses. Our eyes, ears are silent here - means they can not (with our brain) to say "it is tree", etc. How does a man create a melody? There is no formula, recepies. No everybody can do it. It seems to me no every famous composers did it well.Yes, I like Russian ones:)
2. Our words are used to point out to a certain subject in real world. What is a melody? By sounds a composer create something, A MELODY, that lives for centures. It may be called artistically and arbitrarily as a "personal composer tree" with its unrepeatable unique leaves, its colors, shapes, peculiar branches, et al. The similar comparison (of course you may do not like it) can be made between melody and smell, melody and human movements, melody and human moods, melody and human thoughts, melody and human speech, melody and birds sounds, etc...
But making a conclusion one could say that a melody is an object that lives in our memory, a melody tells us nothing about PHYSICS, BIOLOGY, LITERATURE, ART, the Lord God, WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TODAY, etc. We are used to use the melody in order to induce our own moods (what we like in a particular moment: happiness, distress, etc)
3. Dear Sirs, I would like to ask you maybe the musics has another designation, meaning? Maybe musics is not a the fool in king?
Since recent times, I redirected all my knowledge and experience in the direction to create Scientific Musical Developments as "Mathematics + Programming + Music", where it would be possible to perform music in accordance with the preferences of the user, namely to set own tempo, sound levels and other parameters. And now I can responsibly claim that it is quite possible to create computer music (in particular for piano), which in quality is very close to the live piano sound http://theremin.music.uiowa.edu/MISpiano.html . From this it follows that it is quite possible to simulate a live sound for any piano composition and any degree of difficulty, which no brilliant pianist ever performs. Thus, it is possible to transfer your thoughts from your brain into a computer program that will accurately perform your thoughts the way you want it. That is, you will hear that music, which you would like to hear.
