Music Theory

moondaughter6:

Leaps by a fifth
and perfect parallel octaves;
calculated dissonances
and harmonies executed through
following the rules.
Notes placed on staves,
drawn with the utmost care;
stems double checked for
correct direction and length.
Proceed to the piano
to have mechanics repeated.
All these notes never seemed so
monotonous.
Three years of learning theory,
without ever truly writing music.
