Since the latter half of the 19th century, under the influence of evolutionism, the word "progress" or "development" has been used in the history of music, including various ranges of meaning. At the time when the shadow of still deepening mistrust is cast over the dogma of "progress", a further examination about this idea must be required also in the field of music. The present paper investigates the three meanings of the "progress" : that is, (1) complification : (2) increase of technical rationality : (3) increase of value. And it indicates the common fallacy which regards the technical complification in composing as an increase of the aesthetic value.
