The expression "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?” is a question with no logical answer. "Why do you make dances?” is another. Occasionally something may exist in the world simply for the sake of itself—for example, a dance. Many Angels is a dance to music by Gustav Mahler. It is not really about angels. (Well, maybe a little.)
