Musicis an artform whose mediumis soundand silence. Its common elements are pitch(which governs melodyand harmony), rhythm(and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbreand texture. The word derives from Greek μουσική(mousike; art of the Muses). [ 1 ] The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of musicvary according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions (and their recreation in performance), through improvisational music to aleatoricforms. Music can be divided into genresand subgenres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to personal interpretation, and occasionally controversial. Within the arts, music may be classified as a performing art, a fine art, and auditory art. It may also be divided among art musicand folk music. There is also a strong connection between music and mathematics. [ 2 ]Music may be played and heard live, may be part of a dramatic workor film, or may be recorded.
