Re: Definition of Music

A lot of contemporary classical music (maybe not as much today as 30 years ago though) has emphasized aleatoric elements to challenge our concept of steady rhythms and repetitious melodic ideas.

I recall (to keep this clarinety) Leon Russianoff used to say all music is either a song or a dance, and thus should be played that way.

"Performance" is too "millennial" for me. I would say it is whatever sounds you choose for sitting down to relax, unwind or contemplate, or for getting up and moving.

Right now I'm listening to a 2009 remix of "The White Album" to evaluate headphones for the purpose of mixing. And that's another use for "sound" or if you prefer, music.
