How come some composers just SOUND so good?
Any normie can tell you that Albinoni is more aesthetically pleasing than Bach, Mozart than Haydn, Mahler than Bruckner, Puccini than Verdi. But why is this? Aesthetic appeal seems to rarely overlap with the kinds of elements composers and theoreticians study.
Is there any decent writing on aesthetics?
