What is the difference between music and sound?

Music is something that allows us to hear the sound itself. Although we are in a noisy world of sounds every day, these sounds do not exist for us because they only represent specific things and sound sources, not themselves. A car is approaching, its horn is honking, and it is rushing on the road. These sounds are just codes to you: a car is coming. This is what sound usually means to us. However, in music, the sound no longer represents anything else, the sound expresses itself. Music appears when sound no longer plays an instrumental role. When we listen to a musical work in the concert hall, the sound itself constitutes a world, and a new world that is different from daily life unfolds to us. Therefore, music "exists" as a work only when the sound itself is heard by us. Of course, it is possible to hear the sound itself through some organization of the sound, but a musical work does not equal this organization.
