The ValUeS Of artistic works, according to CUItUral relativisιn( ?∣ M ? 义)，are SimPly reflections Of IOCal SOCial and economic COnditiOnS? SUCh a view, however, fails to explain the ability Of SOme WOrkS Of art to excite the human mind across CUltUreS and through CentUrieS?
HiStOry has WitneSSed the endless PrOdUCtiOnS Of ShakeSPearean PlayS in every InajOr IangUage Of the world. Il is never rare to find that MOZart PaCkS JaPaneSe COnCert halls, as JaPaneSe Painter HirOShige does PariS galleries, UniqUe WOrkS Of this kind are different from today,s POPUIar art, even if they began as WOrkS Of POPUIar art.

The StrUCtUreS Of InUSiCal PieCeS are now OPen to experimental analysis as never before. ReSearCh findings Seem to indicate that the CreatiOn by a great artist is as PCrmanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.
