Editing Definition of music (section)

===Subjective experience===
{{main|Aesthetics of music}}

This approach to the definition focuses not on the ''construction'' but on the ''experience'' of music. An extreme statement of the position has been articulated by the Italian composer [[Luciano Berio]]: "Music is everything that one listens to with the intention of listening to music".{{sfn|Berio, Dalmonte, & Varga|1985|loc=19}} This approach permits the boundary between music and noise to change over time as the conventions of musical interpretation evolve within a culture, to be different in different cultures at any given moment, and to vary from person to person according to their experience and proclivities. It is further consistent with the subjective reality that even what would commonly be considered music is experienced as non-music if the mind is concentrating on other matters and thus not perceiving the sound's ''essence'' ''as music''.{{sfn|Clifton|1983|loc=9}}
