About

The word **曲目** is a compound noun formed by combining two characters: **曲** (qǔ), which means "tune," "melody," or "song," and **目** (mù), which literally means "eye" but here is used in its extended meaning of "item," "entry," or "catalogue." Together, they create a specific term that translates to "track," "musical piece," or "repertoire item," referring to an individual piece of music listed within a program, album, or performance lineup. The structure follows a common Chinese word-formation pattern where the first character defines the category (music) and the second character specifies its function as a listed or catalogued unit.
