Music notation may be at times a graphic art, but isn't it more often a tool
for communication? Which is ideally beautiful but must be firstly clear and
concise.
I loved it when Urs and Janek offered framed A3s from their Fried
engravings. It is certainly something I would hang on my wall.
Human handwriting may be a better comparison. It is lovely to read
handwriting, but it is far easier to read printed text.
