Just out of interest, is this musical or not?

Classical shredding

Firstly, yay me!! I figured out how to link. Secondly, IMO, yes it is. Transfer it to a guitar and add distortion and it's still musical. I believe this is the type of thing that influenced a great many neo-classical guitarists in the 80s, and was played by Steve Vai in the film Crossroads

As for being "predominantly emotive", yes, that's probably true. But predominantly still leave room for logical too.Good music is predominantly emotive but with some logic in there.😁
