[Philo-Junius]

The only music he enjoyed was percussion. He could appreciate a rhythmical beat. And this was why he liked most rock ‘n’ roll, because he could hear its back beat.
Now granted, he was an oddity. But remember that half of the public have hearing that is closer to his than to the finely tuned ears of a violinist.
So don’t think them just Philistines when they don’t want to listen to tonal music. They might just not enjoy it very well.

This implies that Chopin has no discernible rhythm, a manifest absurdity. No, what the Philistines want is what they can digest without deliberate, directed thought, and not one iota more, or any clue that one iota more might exist. This is my definition of Philistinism.

Just read your tagline.

Can you say "sedimentary layers"?
