was music discovered or invented?

Invented. There's a lot of science behind music theory and all, but the actual entertainment from thirds and fifths and harmonies and stuff is a derivation of the discovery of tones. So while tones and harmonies and stuff have always been around, arranging them in an entertaining way is an invention, the same way that we invented solar panels to utilize solar energy for our needs.

Invented, people discover things that were created by a force outside of their own. People invent things themselves.

If, hypothetically, all the music that exists as we know, existed somewhere else in the universe, then it would be discovery, but as we know it, it is invention.

That's my two cents

Or, you know, if they just dicover the concept. Which they did, because animals have been at it for much longer.

They've been making music for way longer than we have.

Germans "discovered" the tank, that does not mean they designed and produced the Mk I or the FV4201 Chieftain.

No. That's like saying we invented smell. It's in your brain to perceive sounds as music, while theory is our continued discovery of the rules that govern music
