    Well, I think the common aim of all musicians is to experience DQ. Harmony
    is an aspect of DQ, but not the whole which, as most agree, is
    indescribable. But when you experience a lifting out of yourself so that
    you and the world become one, you understand DQ even though you can't pin
    it down in so many words. It happens all too rarely.

    Best,
    Platt
