The Abstract Form of Musical Time

To me, musical time is different than the normal time.  It is a time to listen rather than converse, a time to reflect rather than act, it is a time to sit and relax rather than to progress.  With such an abstract concept such as musical time, a concrete definition or explanation cannot do it justice.  I have been in music classes before so I know there are formal ways to develop a meaning for this concept.  But I feel that in my personal abstract interpretation of the phrase “musical time” that people act differently than they do in other points in their life when not listening to, creating, or dealing with music.  This may not be the same musical time that many choose to blog about, but to me it is more interesting.  It is a time of creativity and expression and a time of acceptance and understanding all in one; a simply unique abstract concept unlike anything else in the realm of time.
