The physics of music in the objective field is based on the metaphysics of music – provided the origin of music, the harmony, the objective basis of music, is perceived – and in the subjective field it is based on self-knowledge.

Furthermore, the physics of music ranges from the technology of subjective musical production – the mechanics of the mind, the mechanics of the intellect, and the mechanics of the senses and their mas­tery by the in­ner self – to the phys­ics of mu­si­cal in­stru­ments, and to the en­tire ma­chin­ery of mu­si­cal pro­duc­tion, and mu­si­cal re­pro­duc­tion re­spec­tively.

In this con­text it is nec­es­sary to dis­tin­guish, from within as well as from out­side, be­tween the phys­ics of mu­sic and the phys­ics of an acous­tic event, be­cause the phys­ics of mu­sic, with com­pel­ling logic, con­tains the crea­tive back­ground for pro­duc­ing mu­sic, while the phys­ics of the acous­tic event does not take into ac­count the im­por­tant fac­tor of crea­tiv­ity, which alone trans­forms an acous­tic event es­sen­tially into mu­sic.
