This chain is perfectly vertical, but listeners are at the top. Composers
are, in their vast majority, a group of dead animals; players (who often
hunts in groups) eats composers, and are later eaten by the listeners,
whose numerical superiority makes them invincibles. A question: what's
the place of critics in the chain?.
