Music cannot directly convey ideas and concepts because music does not have semantic meaning.
Music is an art form that uses auditory images composed of organized sounds to express people's thoughts, feelings and social reality. It is also one of the most instantly moving art forms. When the melody sounds, people are often irresistible and immediately fall into the atmosphere of music, which makes people forget their worries and purify their souls.
Any art form has its own way of expressing expressions and shaping artistic images. For example, dance embodies artistic images through body movements and facial expressions, painting embodies lines, colors, and compositions, and literature embodies artistic images through words, words, sentences, and articles.
Usually, people distinguish different types of art based on different means of expression, such as different musical instruments. Music can also show the intentions of the musicians and music creators.
