Summary

This quote suggests that when music is performed, it takes on a sculptural form. Just as a sculptor shapes physical material into a specific design, musicians shape the air through their performance, giving it structure, meaning, and beauty. It implies that the music itself becomes a tangible art form, existing in the physical space in which it is played. Through their artistry and skill, musicians transform intangible sound into something tangible that can be perceived and experienced by the audience.
