Q14: Lang Lang and Music

The first clip is from one of Lang Lang's concert performances.  (Half the orchestra and the conductor should be reprimanded, but the piano and violins stay together.)

This clip is more improvisational.  Lang Lang attempts to explain the piece midway through it.

Watch one or both clips.  Consider Heinrichs' opinions on logos, pathos, and ethos.  Where does music fit in?  Is it a language?  (If you argue this, the second clip may be useful.  Is Lang Lang able to describe and define it?)  Does music employ one appeal more than another?
