There are only so many combinations of characters in the English alphabet: yet we’re not going to run out of English books to write any time soon.
The musical notes can be combined in different numbers, at different tempos, in different keys, with different accents, in different instruments, creating phrases of differing lengths. We here common structures and melodies all the time, but we generally don’t perceive them as the “same song” because each has *some* unique spin on it.
