Essay 1: Schopenhauer on Music and Experience

In my essay, I am arguing that Schopenhauer would argue that music effects the listener by enhancing the way a listener experience particular phenomenon. In other words, how music makes life more fulfilling, compared to a world where music does not exist. The music I am using is a song called 'Unravel' by TK. The conclusion that I arrived at is that music is the mediator between the experience and the person experiencing, because it creates an understanding between the 2 subjects by communicating the will of each subject as a universal language, and connecting them to the Will.
