An interesting bit on language structure and music:

"Ever felt as though a piece of music is speaking to you? You could be right: musical notes are strung together in the same patterns as words in a piece of literature, according to an Argentinian physicist. His analysis also reveals a key difference between tonal compositions, which are written in a particular key, and atonal ones, which are not. This sheds light on why many people find it so hard to make sense of atonal works."

You can read the rest of the article here

Cheers, N

I agree. Music is called the "universal" language which is common in all cultures.
