Love Supreme (2nd)

I decided to write a second time on A Love Supreme after reading the book because I realized how wrong my "interpretation" was. Coltrane dedicated his work to the Lord, a possibility that I completely overlooked. So I was very wrong. However, this got me pondering a different question - how important is intent in the arts? No one really knows the message Da Vinci was trying to convey through the Mona Lisa, but part of a reason for the painting's fame is simply because we don't know his intention. I think one of art's qualities that makes it so special is that its meaning is abstract. Physics formulas and economic principles aren't open to interpretation, but art definately is. So, even though my take on A Love Supreme was completely different from Coltrane's message, I think it still holds some validity as an interpretation.
