Notación y transcripción
Every notation is in itself the transcription of an
abstract idea. The instant the pen seizes it, the idea
loses its original form…
a transcription does not destroy the archetype,
which is therefore, not lost through transcription…
the performance of a work is also a transcription,
and still, whatever liberties it may take, it can never
annihilate the original
