taking a musical form as a discursive representative is pointless. This has two clear reasons. First, musical forms are not stable and coherent and there are always emerging sonics. Second, because of the first point as well as the changes in socio cultural relations, none of the sonics may point to certain discourses, interestingly because discourses are ever changing too.
