Music.
Music (noun)
1. The art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous, unified, and evocative composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre.
2. An aesthetically pleasing or harmonious sound or combination of sounds: the music of the wind in the pines.
Music is an art form whose medium is sound organized in time. Common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike), "(art) of the Muses".
The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions (and their recreation in performance), through improvisational music to aleatoric forms. Music can be divided into genres and subgenres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to individual interpretation, and occasionally controversial. Within "the arts", music may be classified as a performing art, a fine art, and auditory art...
It's how dictionaries define this magic, inexplicable wonder called MUSIC...
But here is the story...
I saw this cellist at the very crowdy market in Berlin, Germany... Figure out...
all people buying, selling, or just hanging out and only he doesn't see all this mess surrounding him, just playing cello... and believe me that music was wonderful. In one moment, like after touch of magic wand I didn't recognize everything around. No market noise, no smells... just magic sounds.
Everything transformed into some amazing substance, surrounded me and i saw all world, with mountains and rivers, cities and forests. I began to understand songs of the birds and silence of the fishes. And only music did it...
People around were pooling me, saying something but I couldn't make any step out...
