How it's used
Refers specifically to the musical quality or the sequence of notes rather than the lyrics or the overall arrangement. It is often used in artistic or critical contexts to describe how a piece of music feels or flows. While it is a standard term, it sounds slightly more formal than just saying 歌聲 or 音樂.
