Music

Music is a form of art which has components of sound and silence output from a voice, instrument or device over time. Some of the important elements and attributes of music consist of sound, pitch (including melody and harmony), rhythm (including tempo and meter), and sonic attributes of timbre, articulation, and dynamics. Music ranges from organized compositions and performances to improvisational fun loving performances. Music is divided into genres and sub-genres by people, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often unclear and / or controversial. Within "the arts", music can be classified as a performing art, or a fine art.
