[MD] Churning Point?

Question, does Mozart represent "progress" over tribal drumming, 
digiderooing (or the musical historical equivalent of the Lascaux caves,  circa
15000BCE)?

[Platt]
Banging a stick on animal skin or blowing through a bamboo pole in Northern
Australia is music? Maybe to you, but not to me. Ancient folk tunes -- that's
music. No melodies since are better.

[Arlo]
Then you were speaking incorrectly. The arts do "progress".

Another question, do you think your enjoyment of Mozart is cultural? That is,
could digiderooing produce similar feelings of musical Quality in Australian
aboriginees, or is Mozart objectively superior in Quality?

Finally, what "ancient folk tunes" are you speaking of, that are music, while
aborginal digiderooing is not.
