Well he didn't say exactly that. I remember reading a quote from a long time ago, he said he didn't read sheet music and had no interest in it because you can't write emotion into sheet music. |
ya alot of these contemporary musicians make claims like that, and its idiotic. I know what theyre getting at, its about emotion and not just "theory" or technicality, but notated music is a worldwide system for communicating music to other people. Its the easiest most efficient way to learn music, not mention the easiest way to study and understand it.
