Bee, the difference is the music section is meant to be more scholarly, therefore people may respond in a more serious fashion.

Something some people continue to do.

One other thing which follows some of what Susan said, anyone who truly wants to study this would have to go back to the beginning and really look at the changes which have come about over the years. Some of them are profound and positive, others are profound and a detriment, imo.
