The top number is the number of notes per measure, and the bottom is the type of note.There are other things that pass as music, such as the works of John Cage, that fail to meet my definition of music. However, many people consider things to be music that I do not. The only definition of music that could be universally agreed upon, then, is that music is any sound, or any combination of sounds, of any kind, that someone, somewhere, enjoys listening to.A measure m is a law which assigns a number to certain subsets A of a given space and is a natural generalization of the following notions: 1) length of an interval, 2) area of a plane figure, 3) volume of a solid, 4) amount of mass contained in a region, 5) probability that an event from A occurs, etc.
