Incidental music is typically not considered absolute music. Absolute music refers to music that is intended to be appreciated without any explicit narrative or programmatic context, focusing solely on the musical form and structure. In contrast, incidental music is composed specifically to enhance a dramatic work, such as a play or film, and is meant to support the story or emotion, thereby giving it a programmatic function.
Incidental music is music in a play, television program, radio program, video game, film or some other form not primarily musical.
