Usage Note
Musik is stressed on the final syllable, a clue to its Greek-Latin origin. It is usually uncountable, so a rare plural Musiken is reserved for distinct musical works; everyday speech just says Musik hören ('to listen to music').
Examples
"Ich höre gern laute Musik."
Natural Translation
I like to listen to loud music.
Literal Translation
I listen gladly loud music.
