I like music and specifically classical music because it directly stimulates my very being. Usually if I read a book or watch a movie there are a few layers of mental processing, before eventual emotion materializes. But music, especially instrumental music entirely bypasses any conscious thought and speaks directly to me. Sure we can discuss technicalities - and they are very useful as they allow us to measure our opinion more precisely but liking on not liking any piece of music is entirely subjective. And no one should fault anyone for liking or disliking a piece of music. What do you think?
