LSAT 29 Explanations

LR Question 22 Explanation, by LSATHacks

QUESTION TEXT: Critic: Most chorale preludes were written for…

QUESTION TYPE: Must be False

FACTS: 

  1. Some artists create in order to express their feelings
  2. Master artists never do.
  3. Bach was a master artist.
  4. The tone of the chorale prelude in question is agonizing, though the tone does not necessarily reflect Bach’s feelings.

ANALYSIS: I’ll explain with an example. Suppose you’re a happy person and a master artist. That means you never write music in order to express your feelings. But music might still express your feelings. It would just be a coincidence. 

If you wrote a sad song, it would be sad (even though you’re happy.) But if you wrote a song that was supposed to be happy then it would be a happy song. It would reflect your feelings even though you didn’t write the song to express them (because you are a master artist.)

___________

  1. The prelude may or may not have reflected Bach’s feelings. We don’t know. 
  2. Master artists never write to express their own opinions. So it’s true that Bach never did this.
  3. CORRECT. Master artists never write to express their own feelings.
  4. We have no idea what instruments Bach generally wrote music for.
  5. We also have no clue what other instruments other composers wrote for.
