Musicality what is it?

I'm afraid I can't spare the time to answer this question. I'm busy checking whether there's any, erm, musicality to find on the internet.

 

I liked it Markus! ( your quote ,not pornography,although I may like that too,if I recognised. it)

Let me help, try here:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/

Or a little more specifically, here http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/radio3/bal/bal_20101211-1015a.mp3

 

That's more than a bit strong and not very accurate in my opinion. Charlatans come in many guises and with many spiels. I'm not keen on the term 'musical' to describe the sound of hi-fi - I don't think its use defines a charlatan though.

 

That is my experience,it is not a word I would ever use, unless we. were planing a musical extravaganza of course!

Fair enough - you can only report as you have found .

 

let me try once more.

Whilst I would argue that describing or attributing qualities such as 'musicality' to a piece of kit - or perhaps to a complete set-up - is akin to being anthropomorphic, the appreciation of music performance (live, accoustic or with amplification, and especially recorded and replayed/re-created) is sensual, and as with much to do with satisfaction. Objective measurement and statement about user satisfaction is hard - especially if there is some interest in the 'truth value' of the underlying reason for satisfaction [hype or reality].

As for PRAT, I confess to having misread that as 'presence, rhythm and timing' but those are qualities that I am trying to re-create with the system I have. As as a punter (not a professional in either the music performance/recording or hifi manufacture/install businesses surely there must be some recourse to common language which relates to the qualities of music and performance?
