The creation, performance, significance and even the definition of music, varies according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions and performances to improvisational or [[aleatoric]] forms. For purposes of discussion and exploration of the topic, music is divided into [[genres]] and [[sub-genres]], although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often unclear and/or controversial. Within "the arts", music can be classified as a [[performing art]], a [[fine art]], or an [[auditory art]] form.
