[quote=JonRobrt;853454]Yes, I am aware of Beethoven's loss of hearing and I certainly do not disagree with you. What I was saying is that I cannot make a unbiased judgment in this matter because I am hearing! I am aware of the vibrational translation (i.e. Bison Song!). You do not say whether you are deaf or hearing! We can try but, I can never be sure of the truly silent experience, nor do I think any hearing person could. For example, bagpipes playing Amazing Grace at my fathers funeral was a purely auditory experience.
Try to close your eyes and concentrate fully ont he experience of the sound, and I thinkthat you will find that you do experience sound---especially soemthing like the sound of bagpipes---kinesthetically. It is jsut that the kinesthetic perception is not necessary to your interpretation of the sound, so you do not pay close attention to it.
When you dance, it is a kinestheic perception of the rhythm of the music. You pay closer attention, because the kinesthetic perception is important to the interpretation.
