Only entropy comes easy.

Only entropy comes easy.

Summary

This quote suggests that entropy, which refers to a natural process of disorder and decay in the universe, is the only thing that occurs effortlessly or without resistance. It implies that chaos and disintegration require no additional effort or intervention, while order and organization necessitate deliberate actions and energy input. Essentially, the quote reflects the idea that maintaining or creating order is more challenging than allowing things to fall into chaos naturally.

Music has often been compared with language itself, and the comparison is quite legitimate. While it combines easily with actual language, it also speaks a language of its own, which it has become a platitude to call universal. To understand the significance of the organizing factors of rhythm, melody, harmony, tone color and form, the analogy of a familiar language is helpful. Music has its own alphabet of only seven letters, as compared with the twenty-six of the English alphabet. Each of these letters represents a note, and just as certain letters are complete words in themselves, so certain notes may stand alone, with the force of a whole word. Generally, however, a note of music implies a certain harmony, and in most modern music the notes take the form of actual chords. So it may be said that a chord in music is analogous to a word in language. Several words form a phrase, and several phrases a complete sentence, and the same thing is true in music. Measured music corresponds to poetry, while the old unmeasured plain-song might be compared with prose.
