So just as you read English, you can read music. By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. I
20、 can read or hear the ideas of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite exciting.Both vary (改变) with culture. You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language they use. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world,
