Mm, bits are tricky like this; they lack physicality (even though they 
are themselves based on /arrangements/ of physicality - electrons, 
magnetic fields) yet they often describe physical things (movement of 
air particles, patterns of photons, solid objects).

I think though that for a bunch of bits to 'be' a piano concerto, some 
kind of translation has to take place. So it's more a case of a bunch of 
bits being translatable to a concerto or a compact disk, rather than 
actually being the concerto or the compact disk itself...

Interesting.
