My initial post regarding "Nabokov and Music" was an attempt
to find in VN's indirectly applicable statements, both personal and in his
fiction, whether or not they might provide evidence of how the man's mind worked
and how the unique attributes of his cognitive facilities (if they could be so
revealed) might have contributed to his confessed lack of connection with the
qualities of music. I would be delighted to know if those with knowledge
of the instances I cited felt that they were in any way revealing, in whole or
in part. And, if not, why not?
