agree  priscilalaterza: I think it's "sentido / significado" in this context - 3. substance - the idea that is intended; "What is the meaning of this proverb?" http://www.thefreedictionary.com/substance

agree  Paula S. Cardoso: Na física nos temos a tríade Tempo, Matéria e Gravidade. Nenhum existe sem o outro. Aqui, music é comparada ao tempo, speed = gravidade (e gravidade é parte velocidade) e substance = matéria. Portanto Substance aqui é Matéria.

Não consegui exergar 'essência', soa muito imaterial no contexto para mim. Talvez meus colegas tenham outra impressão :)

substância


Explanation:
Manteria assim.
Essência é leve demais... matéria é concreto demais, para música.

substância: 2 Aquilo que subsiste por si, sem dependência de quaisquer outros elementos acidentais.



Example sentence(s):
  • E era no olho do vale que ele pensava nascer a noite, e era na noite que ele sentia a substância da música num lugar onde nunca houve música?
