You needed love to win at the game of music.. I played of sadness. I played of loneliness. Despair. Love found and lost. I played of tragic misunderstanding and weary cynicism and defeat. I played of perseverance, endurance beyond all suffering. Endurance in the face of hopelessness, hope when even hope was a betrayal.. And yet, though I played so much sadness, the music at the same time denied despair. How could anyone despair while music was being played?. Katherine Applegate
About This Quote

The music that was played by the jazz musician, Nana Vasconcelos, was her interpretation of sadness. The music that she played was sad, because it was the expression of her own sadness. This is very similar to how a person can express their emotions through art. Artistic expression is the way in which emotion is released. When art is expressed in a proper way, it can help us make sense of our feelings and understand what they are trying to say.
