The early representative of autonomic music aesthetics was Gatz. According to a search of relevant public information, Gatz was the first scholar to introduce the distinction between autonomy and heteronomy into musical aesthetics. He pointed out from the beginning that autonomy is not equivalent to formal aesthetics. In his view, formal aesthetics is only a negative content aesthetics and still belongs to heteronomy. Gatz summarizes the theory of autonomic music aesthetics: the logo of music is in the music itself, and the music is determined by itself. There is only one type of music. All music is self-disciplined. The pair of concepts content and form simply cannot be applied to music. Music can only be understood in its own right, without recourse to categories that owe its existence to other phenomena, such as language and the various visual arts.
