What does it mean to "understand" music?

I recently had a quarrel about modern piano arrangements of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach with a person who is a big fan of Glenn Gould, the Canadian piano artist who virtually made a career out of interpreting Bach on the piano. Somewhere along the way this person said something that, to my mind, sounded like one of those sweeping statements people make when they try to walk out of an argument with the false impression that they have "won:" he appeared to be suggesting that if one does not like the modern interpretations of Bach on the piano, one does not "understand" his music. This left me wondering as to the meaning of undestanding music. As far as I can see, it could mean a number of things, one of them being "to undestand what elements in a given piece of music appeal to one's taste." But it seems that what is meant by understanding here is something more specific, that there is something more objective that needs to be understood. What do you think this could be?

I'm considering bringing a guitar from the US to the UK. Can anyone tell me what the customs duties might be?

If anyone has any experience please let me know. The guitar will cost approximately $2000. I want to know if it would still be good value after the taxes and VAT?

Is this true that The Police can reunite?

What I've heard is that Coppeland and Summers want to play together. If Sting accepts to join the group, they're going to bring "The Police" back. Is this true?

Can anyone who's been to London electro/pop/indie night Buttoned Down Disco tell me the average age of the clientele?

I intend to celebrate my birthday there with a friendship group averaging the age of 25 but I've heard we may feel incongruous among the "young(er) crowd".

Has anyone ever seen David Bowie perform his song "The Laughing Gnome" in public?

Has he ever sung it on stage, in front of an audience? Guess he'd like to forget about it now ...
