Can music be mathematically/objectively better?
I dont know if this discussion belongs here, but I recently was searching up why classical music could be timeless and still enjoyed in present day. One of the first things I see is someone on Quora saying "Much of the music is mathematically perfect". And goes on to talk about how they use harmony, rythm, the circles of fourths and fifths, and melodic tension which our brains enjoy.
But can music really be mathematically better than other music? I think those things listed are practically universally enjoyed concepts but are applied in a specific way to become classical. It doesnt make classical better, its simply an application of certain universal musical concepts that people happened to enjoy at that time, and can be appreciated today for various reasons.
These concepts are enjoyed and utilized (or not) in different ways that create the many genres of music that exist. Is there really a "better" or "mathematical best" way to apply the concepts? I dont think so, because everyone has their own favorite way of using these universally enjoyed concepts.
Idk why but ive been fully tripping out over this LOL
