A debate without names is pretty useless; are they trying to compare Beethoven to Kenny G, or John Cage to John Coltrane?

You're ceparating music/books from "art"?

Well when I hear 'art', I normally think of painting but thats more just personal connotations; obviously most things can have artistic qualities. I would generally seperate music from literature/poetry though since its inherantly non-representational, but I doubt thats relevant to this thread.

Why is a given novel or a musical performance art and another isn't?

Generally by possessing qualities which make it good in a sense that goes beyond personal taste, and in a manner in which youd expect most educated experiencers to concur on.
