本文提出用蒙德里安架構來闡釋音樂的本質。1920年代裡，荷蘭畫家蒙德里安提議用水平線與垂直線作爲繪畫的基本形式美。1960年代裡，科學家修伯爾與威瑟爾發現支持蒙德里安提議的相對細胞證據。他們的成就贏得1981年的諾貝爾醫學獎。在本文中，蒙德里安架構被用來探討音樂的本質。這包含將音樂視爲語言的基本形式美。本文並用傳統代表聽覺神經裡神經活動的神經圖來作爲支持此架構的相對證據。此新架構亦可解釋爲何樂譜裡的節奏、旋律與和弦對音樂是如此的重要。

A Mondrian framework is proposed for exploring the essence of music. In 1920s, Dutch painter P. Mondrian proposed horizontals and verticals as the basic forms of beauty for painting. In 1960s, scientists D. H. Hubel and T. N. Wiesel discovered the corresponding cellular evidences for supporting Mondrian's proposition. Also their achievement helped themselves to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1981. In this paper, a similar Mondrian framework is applied to exploring the essence of music. It means to interpret the music as the basic forms of beauty for languages. Also traditional neurograms for representing the neural activities within auditory nerves are used as the corresponding evidences for supporting this framework. This new framework also explains why the rhythm, melody, and harmony of a score are so significant in music.
