He came to realize that Japan's venerable musical tradition had long been highlighting individual notes as complex sonorities in their own right, instead of treating them as part of a series of several notes. \\r\u003cbr\u003eFrom the human need for sound as well as silence, John Cage drew the most extreme conclusions. The concept of a 'beautiful' sound was never static in music history: it has changed over the centuries, and it differs from one culture to another. Western musical aesthetics tend to differentiate between 'noises' and 'notes': the latter feature well-ordered harmonics. The concept of 'dissonance' has also changed throughout different musical periods. What is more, musicians and their audiences have always felt the need to 'savour' a dissonance \\u2013 to listen to it consciously, to experience it \\u2013 before it is resolved.'\\r\u003cbr\u003e- Sheila Arnold\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSheila Arnold's worldwide concert career was launched with outstanding successes at international competitions (the Salzburg Mozart Competition and the Concours Clara Haskil) as well as many scholarships and awards, including the Wiesbaden Mozart Society's Mozart Prize (1995).\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe has played in many of the great concert halls of Europe, including the Bregenz Festival Hall, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Palau de la M\\xfasica in Valencia, the Berlin Philharmonie, the Hamburg Music Hall, the Leipzig Gewandhaus, the Stuttgart Liederhalle and the Dortmund Konzerthaus.
