The history of music is the history of music getting louder. Good or

It's not that simple. I strongly doubt, for instance, that music in
1650 averaged louder than that of 1590--rather the reverse, I would
think.
Same for 1720 vs. 1770, 1910 vs. 1935, etc.
And I don't think the mean volume of European performances varied so
much as a hair between 800 and 1400.
