Quoted -from "Music and the Mind", Anthony Storr, Chapter 3:

Music is a temporal art. =A0 Its patterns exist in time and require
duration for their development and completion. Although painting and
architecture and sculpture make statements about relationships between
space, objects and colours, these relationships are static. =A0 Music
more aptly represents human emotional processes because music, like
life, appears to be in constant motion.

[the paragraph's final sentence, which I have omitted until I read
further in the book: "The fact the musical movement is more apparent
than real will be discussed later."]
