They say that music is both an art and a science, and for the most part, that’s actually true. There are more mathematical elements in music than in any other art form. It’s systematic, it’s exact, and yet when you listen to it, it’s nice and flowing and seems not to be mathematical in nature at all. Still, music is mostly about emotion, it’s the emotion in the human mind that ignites the music or the lyrics. Without the emotional content, the music would be interesting, but it could never be great.

In a recent work, “This Is Your Brain on Music,” the author noted that all too often critics of orchestras will go into detail about the mechanics of the music, the tonal value, or how the artist played a “B sharp.” on a certain note that it clearly would have been better as “B-minor” and that the director or writer of the classical piece made a mistake.

Then the critic would go on and on, about this, that, and the other, and all of that amounts to some crazy notion that therefore the producers, writers, and performers of that music were unfit and unqualified to play in town. from New York. . Of course, anyone who loves music and was watching the performance or reading the critic’s review was thinking to themselves; “What?”

You see, the people in the audience didn’t care about any of that, they cared that the music moved them emotionally, that’s all they really cared about. From this we can derive that although music is mathematical and exact, and although it is an art, the only thing that really matters to us is its emotional value to us. I want you to really think about how music moves you. That is what really matters to the human mind.
