He's describing "natural" as if it naturally comes about by means of evolution. Akin to language, or culture as a whole, certain human characteristics have developed evolutionarily for whatever purpose, like music. It is interesting that so many isolated cultures would devise very similar systems - like the pentatonic scale.

Does anyone else think that Mozart might be a pop music composer if he lived today? In both "Amadeus" and a few biographies I've read, one specifically interesting entitled "1791," his character is made out to be quite childish, lighthearted, humorous, and focused on sex and money. Also his Singspiel opera "The Magic Flute," which premiered in the public opera house Freihaus-Theater auf der Wieden, gained Mozart much fame among common people and a lot of money, which he evidently liked a lot. Of course, Mozart is the scraggy - but in the same conversation, "would Brahms be a 12-tone composer if he lived in mid 20th century," it seems Mozart would take the other route. He obviously loved being a celebrity and wanted to make as much money as possible, and I think he would achieve that today by writing hooks for pop bands, or at least in musical theatre. Any comments?

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA?
