What are some of the criteria that we should consider when evaluating a piece of art

Craftsmanship, design, aesthetic properties, & how well the work reflects the society it was created in

answer; i believe the correct answer is (proximity);

the answer is counterpoint.

counterpoint definition: "the art or technique of playing a melody or melodies in conjunction with another, according to fixed rules."

counterpoint is present in a lot of baroque music- such as bach (notably his wtc prelude and fugues) and scarlatti, but can also be found in music by mozart, beethoven. it can even be found in music as modern as john williams!
