Paper presented at the Third International Conference on Cultural Economics and Planning held April 25-28, 1984 in Akron, Ohio.

The author comments on the articles by Robert Ebert, Demand and Changing Market Structure in the Keyboard Industry; and Laurence Vittes, The Classical Music Industry. The author makes the following statement:

Cultural economics faces a dilemma. It takes two diverse milieu, economics and the arts, and attempts to blend their differing and conflicting values; money and aesthetics. I anticipated papers which would attempt to deal forthrightly with this dilemma. I was disappointed. Both papers deal with interesting and relevant topics, yet the author of one appears to suffer from quantitative myopia. (p. 210)
