No, it has nothing to do with who invented what, and incidentally, to say that it's too difficult for the rest of us says much more about you than anyone else.It is just because italians invented modern music in 1500. You cannot understand the difference, maybe too difficult for most of you, i don't know... You call "syllogism" something so simple here in italy. You tend to call "music" everything you hear with your ears.
I'm inclined to think you're purposely misunderstanding what people are saying here. No one claimed music is everything you hear with your ears. The reverse, actually. Also, that you can take anything you hear and use it to make music.
THIS is what I meant when I said it was a syllogism:
All X is a subgroup of Y, and all Y is a subgroup of Z, therefor all X is a subgroup of Z.
X = music, Y = sound, and Z = things that can be recorded. So from the smallest group to the largest we have X < Y < Z.
All music(X) is a type of sound(Y) and all sound can be recorded(Z) in some way.
When it comes to written music it would look like this:
Sheet music & midi(X) are types of languages(Y), which are types of codes(Z) used to communicate.
The problem seems to be that these two formulas have been intermingled in this thread so as to say that
Sheet music(X) is a type of sound(Y) which is a type of code(Z). Add in the supposed stipulation that it isn't music unless it's performed in real time and the result is this thread.
but to maintain you philosophical cred you should say
