Axiom: Music is a form of expression. Expression is an art.
Hypothesis: An expression can be expressed in various forms of art. The law of conservation of expression will hence state "any art is interchangeable from on form of expression to another".
The brilliant idea: Can moonlight sonata be expressed in words?
A piece of writing with 3 movements, characterized by a conflict of major and minor like a sea under the moon; like ripples reaching the shore and dying out before touching your feet; a constipated whale.
Can it be done ? What do you think?

i think that hypothetically it might be done. but i think that it would be likelened to translation. different forms of art, music, words, dance, etc are like different languages. u might lose an element of rhyme, or lack of meaning in the translated product. because certain things can only be expressed in a certain way. like reading hegel in enlgish, or shakespear in chinese, or arabic in french. it takes a HELL of a translator to just get the meaning right. so how abt the melody? how abt the rhymes? how abt the phonetics, the play on words, the puns, and the rest?
moonlight sonata, like all great musical pieces, are beautifuol precicely because they allow u to dream. if someone was to put those dreams into words, perhaps it would cause the reaser to lose the originality or their own thought.
thats why i hate disney's fantasia.
perhaps you would like it.
