Restaurants know that without being loyal and appreciative of their customers, they will go out of business since their customers will more than likely never return. However, can the customer always be right? When it comes to smaller things like delivering the wrong order or receiving poor service, restaurants are typically more than willing to correct their mistakes. On the other hand, when it comes to matters like…

The beautiful in music does not depend on the accurate expression of feelings. It is the composition itself, apart from all comment, which has to be judged. The understanding of historical relations and aesthetic judgment are two different things. Emotion is an effective response, a reflex.
