Although the aesthetics preference of community is an efficacious component, what the main determining component of this shaping progress is physical circumstances, such as, space that performance takes place and acoustical quality of orchestral sound. Aesthetics changes are a part of this process and the level of aesthetics changes will be determine by the needs of new situations created by the changes that occurred in physical circumstances.
