piece of music: member of a music collection and inhabitant of islands of music. Groups of similar pieces of music (also known as genres) like to gather around large mountains or small hills depending on the size of the group. Groups which are similar to each other like to live close together. Individuals which are not members of specific groups usually live near the beach and some very individualistic pieces might be found swimming in deep water.
