Music is the medium through which one can express his thoughts and feelings. It is the sum total of the experiences and emotions that are not bound by time, community, or rationality. It is the universal language of the pious souls of all times and places. The threefold arts of music, namely vocal music, instrumental music, and dance, have varied from time to time and space to space according to the aesthetic tastes and likings of the people.

All true arts are expressive, but they are diverse. Music is, without contradiction, the most penetrating, profound, and intimate art. There is a marvellous relationship between sound and the soul, both physically and morally. It feels like the soul is an echo where sound takes on new power. Music pays for the immense power that has been given to it; it awakens the sentiment of the infinite because it is vague, obscure, and indefinite in its effects. It is insufficient merely to listen to music in terms of the separate moments in which it exists. One must be able to relate what one hears at any given moment to what has just happened before and what is about to come afterward.
