Because we learned how to.
This is Bach judging by the title of the pic...

takes a few years to get to play something like that just sight reading. And it will still be pretty bad without hearing a recording unless your some sheet reading god.

Brainlet detected

Go listen to some noise. That'll make you feel special.

>>73428030
Its easy but quite honestly its one of the worst language systems ever devised. Very inefficient.

>>73428030
By memorizing what the symbols and their placements mean? Its not that fuckin hard to understand how people do it

>>73428030
hmm idk probaly with they eyes

>>73428424
>very inefficient

Imblying

>notes aren't even on a space or line consistently
>double flats and double sharps
>arbitrarily based on major scale making any sufficiently modal composition a pain in the ass to write down
>takes up a shit ton of space

Why not make use of some other symbols for the notes or make each position on the staff represent a semitone with an index number for the note octave or something?

>>73428424
know a good book that explains it clearly?

Tonal Harmony

dl the PDF and put each self-test thing in MS paint and fill in the answers and you get well fast at reading music really quick as well as getting an intuition for intervals and all the other theory stuff

ITT: op makes autists feel superior

>>73428624
double sharps are easily explained as leading tones in keys with many sharps

what you SHOULD be complaining about, is how you basically have to resort to enharmonics at a certain point if you continuously modulate (eg say you're in C and you want to go up a major third to E, then you want to go up another major third as is the case with many 19th century music. well, G# is a gross key so you have to switch to Ab to make it readable)
another thing to complain about is how roman numeral analysis makes liberal use of strict figured bass notation, which occasionally makes things that aren't chord inversions look like chord inversions and vice versa

It's called "taking band in 6th grade."

>>73429724
thank you for being the only helpful anon itt.

>>73428030
Its like anything or seems hard at first but you just keep doing it and it becomes second nature.
As for sight reading something like that, as another anon said, you'd have to be pretty good at piano.

>any sufficiently modal composition a pain in the ass to write down
you can use all the modes without any accidentals. Modes were actually the original way music was written on sheet music. Major and minor scales came later (although they were based on modes themselves)

holy fuck you're both retarded

please leave the world of music theory now

>>73428424
I agree with this
Sheet music has it's flaws especially in stringed instruments

>>73428424
Absolute fucking retard

>>73428030
Same way people learn how to read anything, they're taught it as children.

Also playing an instrument helps a lot.

my autism is being triggered by those left hand F notes that are also being played by the right hand in mm. 19

What you posted is essentially a sight reading exercise.
