On the Internal Relations of the Artistic Characteristics of Music

The internal relations of the artistic characteristics constitute the fundamental feature of music. Music is, first and foremost, a kind of sound existence. This is the leading character of music, around which other musical traits derive. As an existence of sound, music is spread in the stream of time, in which lies the character of timeliness. But owing to the unidirectivity of time flowage, music must be replayed in want of reappreciation. In addition, the sound of music is non-semantic, which results in the variation of feeling in the course of music appreciation. And music is made certain in virtue of non-sound's certainty.
