>10. Music is the perfect manifestation in the outside world of the
    human soul.
	I'll take #10.  In my opinion, the problem with modern music or any art or
human creation in this modern day is that the art does not reflect reality.
 I know this is subjective, but I define reality as the forces which form
and sustain us i.e. sun, air, water, earth, sub-atomic particles etc.  Art
that reflects these forces has a power to communicate in that it reflects
something deep inside all of us.  Has anyone seen the PBS show where they
took a drumhead with sand on it and played a sustained note on a violin
right next to it?  The sand arranged into geometric shapes like snowflakes.
 In the beginning was the "word".  Tone and sound creates.  Unfortunately
the lives that many composers lead has little to do with these forces.  The
music says, "I stay inside all day and stare at computor screens."  or " I
am a rock star who lives on busses and does drugs all night."  We get bored
with these creations because they do not reflect the higher truths which we
are a part of and long to hear.
