    I don’t mean to say that you would be incapable of imagining each of the details of a piece. What I mean is that at any given moment, you’re only paying attention to a small part of the piece while your brain fills in the rest with an approximation so it appears as if you hear the whole thing at once.

      Possibly, like if I focus on lyrics I hear all the lyrics, if I focus on the music I hear all the instruments.
