Absolute music means music, that’s about nothing. It doesn’t depict any event, emotion or object. Just melodies, harmonies, cadences, parts and what not. Interpreting the result is up to the listener.

If you come across to a musical piece titled something like: “Violin concert op. 14 in Gb major” by Ernst Von Hubbels, that would be a fine example of absolute music.

I’ve always avoided naming my tunes like that, although I like the idea of not forcing my thoughts for the listener. Just a habit I guess.

I had already completed the work in question when I came up with the expression THE LAST THANK YOU. And no, I have no idea whats that about. So there’s my almost absolute music for ye.
