According to a theory embraced by some contemporary musicians, music is simply a series of sounds, bereft of meaning. ███ █████ ██████████ ███████ ████ ██████████ ████ █████ ██████ ██ █████████ ██████████████ █████████ ████████ ██████████ ██ █████████ █████ ████████████ ████ ████████████ ██ █████ ███████████ █████ ████ █████ ███ █████ █████ ██ ███████ ██ █████ ███████
Summary
The author concludes that for some contemporary musicians, their music possess meaning. This is supported by the observation that these musicians begin their performances with explanations of their intentions.
Missing Connection
The conclusion asserts that some musicians’ music has “meaning.” But we don’t have any premise that tells us when something has meaning. All we know is that some musicians explain their intentions before performing their music. To make the argument valid, then, we want to establish that the premise leads to the idea that the musicians’ music has meaning:
If musicians explain their intentions before performing music, that music possesses meaning.
Another way to phrase the same relationship:
If music does not possess meaning, then musicians will not explain their intentions before performing it.
