Limitations are connected to freedom also. If we had endless possibilities, we would have no platform to get any job done. So by having a palette to choose from, we actually are given the freedom to make music. If we didn't have those limitations, we would be discussing each time if something would qualify as music or not (well, we do anyway, but you get the drift).. Agreed, the complexities of our 12 half-tone system can give us plenty of possibilities Magne. Our brains probably couldn't handle more. Note values, rests, durations, octaves, retards, dynamics, pivotal/extraneous/harmonic modulations, modes, chord structures,time signatures, key signatures etc, etc,etc, - all weaved into infinite roads of possibilities gives us a miraculous playground for compositional inspiration. Isn't life wonderful!  John
