This article gets it wrong from the start... "But whereas speech is most obviously important for communicating propositions or concepts, obtaining such knowledge, this is not the primary function of music." There's the talking drums of Native Americans, rap music, and so much more.
- belviewreview 2mo agoAnd that is not all. Spoken speech moves up and down in pitch, and in a rhythm, and no doubt that is at least much of the basis of music.
- IAmBroom 2mo agoSo some music does primarily encode communication. You have not proven that this is the primary function of all music, ergo the article is not proven wrong. In fact, I'd bet $100USD that the development of music was primarily for pleasure, not communication.
