Will and Polyphony

Schopenhauer's pioneering appreciation of Music does not seem to extend to Polyphony.  For, when he does examine a plurality of synchronic sounds, e. g. his analysis of Harmony, he subordinates their diversity to their unity.  Furthermore, that privileging is inadequate to multi-melodic music, e. g. the 'free jazz' of recent decades.  Now, proper appreciation of Polyphony, in conjunction with his thesis that Music is a direct copy of Will, yields the insight that Will is inherently Pluralistic.  On that basis, a doctrine, such as his, that promotes the dissolution of individual differences, is not one derived from Will as its fundamental principle.
