Yeah, I had a music teacher like that, too. I came to the conclusion that the ol' trashcan down the stairs (or whatever) is more performance art than music. But you're getting at a point that pretty much everybody here seems to be getting at, that art is just a hell of a thing to define. And until we define it, the original question is patently tricky. If we can't preclude emotional response from the definition, maybe there's a way to just add other modifiers?
