Notated music - Graphic, non-realized representations of musical works, both in printed and digitized manifestations.  It includes musical scores and/or parts, diagrammatic representations, tablature, instructions for chance compositions, pictures or paintings intended as musical compositions, square note notation, klavarskribo, chant notation, neumes, braille, and other ways of representing the four components of musical sound: pitch, duration, timbre, and loudness.  Notated music is often the means for communicating to the performer(s) how the musical work notated therein is to be realized in sound.
