We talk about music when we refer to that "set of sounds organized over time that make us beat our feet to the rhythm, but also when we want to deal with anger, pain, joy, sadness ... in a nutshell when we ask ourselves about the meaning of music, the answer is never unique.
However, we can try to define what music is if we put it in a "communicative perspective: musicality is a language and making music is equivalent to producing the rhythms and words that determine this first and only universal language known to man."
Make music when you sing, when you whistle, when you play an instrument or when you write on paper and on the staff. It is a science that is able to reach everyone's heart, thanks to its multiplicity of uses and to the different musical genres that exist. You will surely have listened to music, even unconsciously, on the radio, on TV, in the supermarket, on the train ... but have you ever wondered why it is so special?
The harmony between words and between musical notes has always fascinated us, which is why various artists, writers and poets have tried their hand at trying to represent the importance of musicality by expressing themselves in words.
The phrases about music that you find in this article allow you to get in touch on what it means to make music and why it is so important to everyone, young and old.
