Music

Music is an art form whose medium is sound. Common elements of music are not (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics and sound qualities of timbre and texture. The word is derived from Greek μουσική (mousikf), (ss) of the Muses "[1].

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 leisure time in the performance), through improvisational music at random shapes. Music can be divided into genres and subgenres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to individual interpretation, and sometimes controversial. In the context of "art" music can be classified as performance art, an art and sound art.

For many people in many cultures, music is an important part of their lifestyle. Greek philosophers and ancient philosophers defined as Indian music tones ordered horizontally and vertically as harmonies and melodies. Commun dictons tels que «l'harmonie of sphères" et "c'est de la musique à mes oreilles" point à l'idée que la musique est souvent commandés et agréable à écouter. Toutefois, 20e siècle, le compositeur John Cage pensé que Every sound you can listen to music says, for example: "There is no noise, only sound." [2] According to musicologist Jean-Jacques Nattiez, "the line between music and noise is always culturally defined, which implies that even within a society , this limit is not always the same place, in short, there is rarely a consensus .... After all, there is no uniform approach to define universal and cross-cultural, which could be music, unless it is' sound through time "
