music is proof that there is more to our aesthetic appreciation, as something as unrelatable and abstract as arrangements of frequency ratios can cause the visceral reactions they do. the underlying symmetry and contrast can be seen in every artform structurally and for me at least musicality is the aspect that unifies all art and implies that what we really like in even stories isnt really the emphatetic reactions or the useful didacticism but the shapes of circles and pyramids played out in time which is beautiful or at least once was before autumn and heartbreak ;(
