If judgements about the quality of a particular piece of music (its superiority or
inferiority to other pieces) were truly objective, it seems to me that we should be
able to find instances where a piece of music one does not like (subjective) is held
to be superior to a piece of music one does like. So far, it has been my experience
that judgements about quality seem to consistently coincide with our subjective
preferences. I think we like some piece of music and, then, we try to find reasons for
asserting its superiority over what we don't like. We like to objectively justify our
liking of what we like over what we don't like. I like that.
All the Best,
Gary Digman
