Summary

This quote highlights the sentiment of realizing the value of normalcy only when it is absent or threatened. As the protagonist wonders, certain aspects of life, such as vision or silence, often go unnoticed and unappreciated until they are taken away. Similarly, normalcy, with its routine, stability, and predictability, might be something one takes for granted until it is disrupted. This quote invites contemplation on the preciousness of ordinary, everyday moments and the importance of cherishing them before they are gone.

The musical emotion springs precisely from the fact that at each moment the composer withholds or adds more or less than the listener anticipates on the basis of a pattern that he thinks he can guess, but that he is incapable of wholly divining. If the composer withholds more than we anticipate, we experience a delicious falling sensation; we feel we have been torn from a stable point on the musical ladder and thrust into the void. When the composer withholds less, the opposite occurs: he forces us to perform gymnastic exercises more skillful than our own.
