Time and Music

Time interacts in numerous ways with our perception of a piece of music: the circumstances—macro and micro—of our first and subsequent hearings; the duration and intensity of our listening; the seemingly ceaseless improvisation of memory. In a different way, there’s also the specific impact in time and a work’s general reception, its scale and assessment. --Stuart Broomer, "Eric Dolphy - Musical prophet: The Expanded 1963 New York Studio Sessions," Free Jazz Collective 2019-02-04
