Instead, he argued that you can hear his music to say, it sounds as: "There is no noise, only sound," [3]. According to musicologist Jean-Jacques Nattiez (1990 p.47-8, 55): "The border between music and noise is always culturally defined - which means that even within a single society, this border does not always pass through the same place short, there is rarely a consensus ....

Different cultures emphasized different instruments or techniques, or uses for music. Music was not only used for entertainment, for ceremonies and for the practical and artistic communication, but also extensively for propaganda.
