From an artistic point of view the way to attain objectivity is for the subject to become one with the object. When the player is so concentrated that everything but the melody vanishes from his mind, he is objective and in perfect understanding.
A synergy occurs between the preformer's practice- his knowledge of notes, time, scales and harmony, and the emotional motivation behind the playing.
Or to borrow coberst' way of saying it:
