Independent musicians are only

ignorant and only share their opinions.

When I began to learn music theory, I would come into contact with the concept that "music is the art of time".

in my opinion, music itself is just a form of expression of human art-expressing human knowledge, philosophies and ideas. And sound-material wave and mechanical wave with accidental charm, is the main material of most music works.

If the expression is to have practical significance, it needs a certain organization to establish the internal connection of the expression content.

in my understanding, music itself is an expression formed by organizing specific sounds. The essence of sound determines the most important factor in the organization of music: time.

wavelength and frequency-these parameters, which are inseparable from sound, are based on time.

It can be said that time is the closest link between sound and music.

the sound changes continuously on the basis of time, which is very regular.

this is exactly linear.

With time as the axis, we can easily understand the organization of most music works.

the change of time axis can also be regarded as linear understanding.

So far, the performance major in the college is still talking about "coherence" and "ambiguity". If a work that develops according to the law of time breaks this "linear" law, its expression will be discounted or even lose its original meaning.

Melody has always played a considerable role in music works in the past few hundred years, and the melody itself also conforms to the above-mentioned "linear" law. Nowadays, scholars' pursuit of music is no longer limited to melody. Impressionism's "color matching", point-to-point texture, and new orchestration that pays attention to "depth of field" all show this trend. People no longer limit music to lines and traditional acoustics, but try to put music in "auditory imaging" with space as the background.

this is no longer the concept of "linearity"-even if it is based on the linear development of time.

If previous composers wrote "sound and picture", today's composers pay more attention to sketching "audio and video" and auditory experience.

This probably enters the imagination of three-dimensional space. In this space, the development and change of "audio and video" itself is not linear, but the concept of three-dimensional space and even the integration of art and photography aesthetics.

That's my understanding of "linearity" and "nonlinearity" of music, and I hope it can inspire you.
