Why instrumental music is awesome.

I love art, but to be completely honest, I've never really gotten into art theory, and by that I don't mean the useful technicalities.I'm talking about the theory appreciation/composition babble. When someone gets philosophical with the subject and start rambling complicated shit, most of the times it's just pure unadulterated bullshit.

We all have seen one of those people rambling about an art piece, trying to decipher shit that isn't there and getting all "blah blah blah".

Luckily for us musicians, we don't have to deal with this stuff!

Something great about instrumental music is that these art-babblers don't have any symbolism to hold on to.
Probably the same reason not many people love instrumental music as much as other type of arts (or even music with lyrics).
"¿What message would Mozart wanted to tell with that violin line?" Just not happening.
And with visual arts the above situation is the most common thing.
So yeah, we don't get a lot of bullshit which is good.

Another awesome thing is that there isn't as much senseless conceptual art -which 99% of it has as much value as a spit to the face- as visual arts. Sure there is stupid shit like John Cage's 4:33 (Look for it, you won't believe it), but the crap is far in between.

As much as a spit to the face
