The complexity isn't in dispute; but if you say "must begin with a music
expression", it seems to imply that there can be more than one, but as I
understand it, there can only be exactly one.  That one expression can
contain others, of course, but there you go.  Maybe "...must begin with
*the* music expression"?  I dunno.  I guess it's not that big a deal.
