To be honest, I think both paradigms are good for music. You can have a Note as an object with attributes such as pitch, octave, name, etc. Maybe musicians like FP at first because it's somewhat simpler (I'm not talking about Monads here ;-). They already know about functions from high school and function composition translates directly to how they may think about music operations:
retrogradation(transposition(inversion([0, 4, 7])))
- kafkaesque 14y agoDo the musical terms in this analogy: retrogradation(transposition(inversion([0, 4, 7]))) also explain the relationship between each part of this function as retrogradation does with transposition and inversion? E.g., if you start with a triad, transpose it to another key, and then create an inverted chord out of it? Or were the musical terms chosen merely to indicate that they can be a "subset" of a particular general idea ("chord" or "function"?)?
