Figure Ground and Music Notes

I do believe that the figure ground and the notes and rests in music can be quite similar since, in my opinion, the notes can be described as positive sounds and the rests can be identified as the negative parts of the music. We are more influenced by the sounds that stand out rather than the rests in a track just like how most of us pay more attention to what is in front of our eyes rather than what is in the background of a photo, drawing, painting, or physical area. The notes carry more hard or light resonant sounds as to the long, deep, and silent bodies of the rest.
