Quote by Felix Mendelssohn
People often complain that music is too ambiguous, that what they should think when they hear it is so unclear, whereas everyone understands words. With me, it is exactly the opposite, and not only with regard to an entire speech but also with individual words.
Summary
In this quote, the speaker expresses a unique perspective on the ambiguity of music versus language. While many people believe that music lacks clarity and meaning compared to words, the speaker argues that it is the opposite for them. They find music to be a more precise and comprehensible form of communication, asserting that even individual words can generate varying interpretations, whereas music seems to hold a clearer and more universally understood message.
