Music and the Sound: a Philosophy of Perception

by

Abstract

How can someone have the right perception of sound and its nature? We hear sounds everywhere: we hear the wind, the accords of a piano or a loud bang. How can we tell which of them is music, and which is a mere sound? To say what music is, we must first understand how it is possible that something like harmony to be recognised. This article aims to define the unity between music, conscience, and natural things.
