In classical music, a musical work is written in music notation by a composer and then it is performed once the composer is satisfied with its structure and instrumentation. Even if different players of the same instrument play the same note, their notes might sound different due to differences in instrumental technique (e.g., different embouchures), different types of accessories (e.g., mouthpieces for brass players, reeds for oboe and bassoon players) or strings made out of different materials for string players (e.g., gut strings versus steel strings). [citation needed] The Divje Babe flute, carved from a cave bear femur, is thought to be at least 40,000 years old, though there is considerable debate surrounding whether it is truly a musical instrument or an object formed by animals. Vibrato is a technique of the left hand and arm in which the pitch of a note varies subtly in a pulsating rhythm. Charles Darwin speculated that music may have held an adaptive advantage and functioned as a protolanguage,[78] a view which has spawned several competing theories of music evolution. [137], According to biographer Chris O'Leary:[8].
