Music
@ Wikipedia - The Free Encyclopedia
"Music
is an art form consisting of sound and silence. Elements of music are pitch
(which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts
tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, structure, and the sonic qualities
of timbre and texture. | The creation, performance, significance,
and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context.
Music ranges from strictly organized compositions (and their recreation
in performance), through improvisational music to aleatoric forms. Music
can be divided into genres and sub-genres, although the dividing lines
and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes
open to individual interpretation, and occasionally controversial. Within
"the arts", music can be classified as a performing art, a
fine art, or an auditory art form."
