Re: Definition of Music

I go with the definition that my 80 years old acoustics teacher used back at school (roughly translating): "Sound organized in space". "Space" means "time" in this case.
I guess the question is what does "organized" mean... and maybe more accurate to say "with intent"... sort of. Music an happen "by accident".

>> I need stuff that has actual nicely pitched notes and a nice melody as well as more then ONE chord (or even 2) throughout. <<

Any person's needs is something very different than the definition of music. Anyone can define what music they like if they want.

Another separate thing to the definition of music or whether anyone likes any types of music, is whether it's good or not. You might think some music is very good but don't like it and vise versa.
I would define good music as having an inner logic of its own world (could be different between different types of music).
Some music actually doesn't really have it, but is still good in the sense that you can hear it is "research"... looking for that inner logic.

Melody, harmony/chords, pitch, are just some of the "tools" used to create certain types of music.
