Beautiful music is not easy to define. Some would claim that it is impossible to define because the terms 'beautiful' and to some extent 'music' are entirely subjective - the aural equivalent of 'in the eye of the beholder' (presumably 'in the ear of the listener', although the phrase doesn't have quite such a ring to it). Such people might contend that anyone who finds the sound of rush-hour traffic more beautiful musically than, say, Mozart's Elvira Madigan Concerto is taking a perfectly reasonable position.
