Kyle Gann has been participating in the critic's conversation over on Arts Journal. One of the things he has been talking about is musicians and use of terms.
Of course, artists don’t like thinking about terms. Nothing is more fatal to creativity than to already know the answer before you frame the question. Artists have good reason to be suspicious about what terms you yoke them to, because terms wield power.
It's an interesting digression.
