In a widespread understanding psychoanalysis is conceptualized as “talking cure” in which patient and analyst exchange words that contain mainly a lexical meaning. In this point of view music seems to be far away from psychoanalysis. But the discovery of the importance of pre-verbal experiences and the emphasis on deep emotions in every individual has changed this restricted view. The author tries to show how musical elements are part of every psychoanalytic process and how they constitute a lively experience in psychoanalysis. The author emphasizes the role of time both in music and in psychoanalysis. Another focus is laid on the meaning of the maternal voice in prenatal and early postnatal experience and on the influence of patient's and analyst's voices as well. With citation of others, the author uses the concepts of “kinetic semantic”, “now-moments” and of the pause as a constituent factor in music for a presentation of two clinical illustrations.
