So how do you ask for a cuppa in music?
Music may be a lethod of communication, but it's an implicit one; the meaning of your request is totally subject to interpretation. If you compose a symphony about wanting a cuppa, it may be interpreted as wanting to go down the shops and buy some cheese, like the Judas Priest album told you to do.
AFAIK the only methods that transcend the language barrier are maths and science and sign language.
