The article is an overview of the aesthetic question of space in music. The study begins from the vague to evident perceptions of space in music in the analogy with the physical high pitch of sounds. These are associative sensations with the movement of things in the space like distance or rapprochement when the sound goes up and down. Then, the spatial character of pitch focused on the two-dimensionality of vertical and horizontal dimensions in music and the new spatial sensation similar to linear perspective in graphic arts that suggests an analogy of the space between painting and music. Next, the new concept of tonal gravitation like motion energy which moves from one tone to tone as the main reason for our musical space-sensation, so to speak, the sounding perspective with the force of tonal gravitation that produces the effect of depth or third dimension in music. Finally, our contribution to the spatial artistic model in the conception of musical contents as a reflection of human activity expressed by intonations, in which our imagination completes the spatial vacuum of music.
