A Meditation on Counterpoint
"All art constantly aspires towards the condition of music", wrote Walter Pater.
OK, but how might music reveal itself in art, as in counterpoint, for example?
When a Bach concerto winds through time, do its melodies weave a fairisle pattern on the score, on the memory?
Music is transitory, fleeting, elusive, leaving only an after-image on the brain.
Visual art attempts to fix an idea, a pattern, an image, though each viewer can post that maverick meaning away beyond bounds. Punctus contra punctum - note against note: it sounds jarring, aggressive, but is more usually a collaboration; melodies accompanying one another; one higher, then changing places.
