The linear nature of music

“The linear nature of music is closely related to the concept of musical form, which is the way that music is structured over time. Musical form gives shape and coherence to the musical experience, organizing musical events in a way that makes sense to the listener. For example, a musical piece may be structured in a verse-chorus format, with each verse and chorus building on the previous one to create a sense of progression and development.”
