This week in class we discussed the idea that music, as an art form is a harder art form to understand. One can say that one does not hear music unless they themselves listen for it. They may be able to hear a few notes here and there but they are not really hearing and appreciating the music for what it is; a work of art, unless they are listening to hear just that. Music, to the artist, and anyone who appreciates art for the beauty that it is, is not just a collection of notes on a page of sheet music or coming from a particular instrument. Music is the imaginary tune inside the artists head. It is there artwork and there message that they are trying to covey to the audience. If someone were to recreate the tune, they can too experience music as an art form. For something to be art for the viewer they must be undistracted then they can recreate what they artist was imagining.
Therefore a question that I pose is, what makes or qualifies music to be an art form? Is it the fact that someone is creating a unique piece that has never been done before or what?
