You don't experience anything directly, but only appearances or representations. But do you then experience the appearances directly? No, every appearance as appearance is immediately cancelled in favour of whatever it is you experience through those appearances. You hear sounds, but these only translate vibrations of the air at your ears, and these vibrations translate data streamed from the recording, which only translates the vibrations of some past strings and sound box, which in turn translate the pianist's muscle activations, which translate a certain history in their body and mind, which translate markings on a page and so on and so on until you get to whatever the source might have been for the composer's creation, or sheer music-ness - and that is what you experience so directly that it takes you up body and soul. Perceptual directness is a fiction, all that happens starts and ends in the same place, in consciousness, or soul, or whatever name you choose to give it.
