How is music non-representational?

Let us keep this page clean and like a void, no links please!

What Kivy means by non-representational is that a beating drum and a clarinet do not represent a ship on the high seas, in the way that one can do so with oil paintings, for example. And so the question is how does it evoke those images, without being representational.

I'm not too sure what you mean clean and like a void. Strange.

And finally, I wrote this page as a stub, but it needs a complete rewrite. I took on philosophy of music course, and wrote one paper, in grad school, years ago, but otherwise don't have much else to say about it. Any experts that want to start it completely over?
