Before that, it did not have that connotation. When Walt Disney and Leopold Stokowski used it in the 1940 film Fantasia, they considered it to be a purely abstract piece --- "absolute music" --- which brought to mind expressionistic forms and lines.. |

| >Composers must have felt something alluring about patterns since [they] ... incorporated it into their work so it shouldn't be discarded as unimportant or a gimmick.I wasn't saying that the use of patterns is a gimmick, but that the use of patterns that are more easily recognized by means other than listening are a gimmick.If da Vinci told you that if you viewed the Mona Lisa under a microscope you'd see 1,000,000 copies of the Lord's Prayer in microscope print ... that would be a gimmick. |

| >"Why do people enjoy patterns?"One possible answer goes like this: pleasure motivates an organism to do the things that are pleasurable; organisms that experience pleasure when they recognize patterns will develop their pattern-recognition skills; pattern-recognition skills confer a survival advantage; etc. |

| Composers must have felt something alluring about patterns since some (possibly many, I don't know) consciously incorporated it into their work so it shouldn't be discarded as unimportant or a gimmick.I would love to keep the arts mysterious but I can't help but break it down. Completely breaking down and understanding art, I think, is not possible. But to think in-depth about art is to try to break it down and understand its components. |

| I think patterns is an integral part of music (and maybe everything) and does shed some light into the nature of music (possibly everything else). Why do people enjoy music? Or Nature? What makes quality music? I'm not answering these questions but there is a mysterious pattern within both music and nature. I want to elongate the question to include "Why do people enjoy patterns?" because answering this would shed light onto the other questions. |

| For "B," "A," "C," H," of course I wouldn't call it alphabetical, since the notes could have been named anything else. (Also, there is no "H" note.)I take back what I said about music being "mathematical," but not the AESTHETIC OF PATTERNS. |
