I started with the paradox that music is the most nondiscursive of all arts, yet it is said to contain "the whole human life" or whatever subject can be expressed by musical means. I then illustrated manifold isomorphisms which exist between the early infantile experiences revealed through psychoanalysis and the means of musical expressions and experiences. These isomorphisms exist in relation to various emotional states and have
been treated during various epochs and in different social conditions.
