| That's pretty interesting too about music and degenerative diseases. That's incredible, how simply mentioning Op. 49 generating an internal rendition is enough to cause the same response as an external one. The internal rendition isn't the surprise (I find it quite easy to "play" organ pie... |

| And how great is it that it was a Mozart piece? :lol: It's no jolly, tuneful piece either: all the more amazing that it captivated a 9-year old. It's interesting though, the song doesn't sound mournful (to me, at least). It sounds contemplative and celebratory. I can imagine something like Carl Sag... |

| So I'm more going on about the suspension of disbelief than anything in my direct control really? Huh. That's deep... But yeah, I guess so.
