M.Minsky, "The Emotion Machine" p.196

In the case of most music, this structure is clear: we begin by grouping separate notes into "measures" of equal length, and we then group these into larger section, until the whole composition is seen as a storylike structure. We do this in vision and language, too - although with less repetitiousness - by grouping collections of smaller events into multiple levels of events, incidents, episodes, sections, and plots. However, we see this most clearly in music forms.
