Donald Satz pontificates about pontificating:

>In conclusion, whether it's HIP or modern, the ultimate test is the
>enjoyment derived by the listener, and enjoyment is about as subjective
>an element as one can find.  Let's stop pontificating about so-called
>objective views and simply zero in on our enjoyment levels.

Don's conclusion here shows up quite an affinity with the 'response theory'
by H.R.Jauss.  The meaning of a work of art does not lie in its own
intrinsic features, rather it resides in the interrelationships between the
work of art itself and the interpretations given by performers/recipients,
thus creating an endless chain.  There is no final meaning or value, only
different readings in different places at different times.

Will this be the key to objective subjectveness?
