- We're not disagreeing much. My point was that you wrote as if
- aesthetic goals were meaningfully consistent over centuries, and
- as if aesthetic properties of pieces stayed put. (So did David

- Do you mean *of* this environment? If so, I don't think so. I
- haven't heard too many relativists in music departments, or too

- Sometimes I think I'm the only person in this department who
- ever listened to any mod music.

- As for the rest of your posting, I don't disagree enough to want
- to quibble.
