It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

The distinctions he is making are more in his mind than real, Dave.

All classifications are arbitrary. (I've spent my whole life as an analyst, and I ought to know.)

They thus have costs attached to them. Some of which your friend is being blinkered by.

Intellectuals frequently suffer from categories and classes. Plato and his 'ideal' forms are a complete dead end, you see.

When I listen to music I am hearing the score and feeling at the same time. I also am certain that my response to music at home or at concerts or when performing ..... is very strongly affected by my having performed since I was nine.

When I am singing, I am working on getting my part right -with- the others singing our line/part, and the other singers, follow the conductor, get my cues from the Organ or other sung parts. ALL at once.

I am also at the same time being affected by the whole thing.

Who says men can't multi-task?! ;-)!

20C Western art music simply reflects an increasing sense of ennui, foreboding, anomie, and alienation. All as predicted by Weber.

Mahler, and Spengler both spring to mind.
