Re: That's dogma, not reality

Well yes John as far as it goes.

But, objectivity is an ideal approached only the more we allow different values and viewpoints into the picture.

Though it saddens me - a bit, a lot of my musical friends don't know much about classical music at all, and don't reach for it like I do. The converse is also true.

I think the rise of HIP etc is evidence that the core repertoire matters in a very shared and thus important way, there si alot more of an aesthetic debate now. I happen to think this has always come and gone, at least since art music that lasted, became possible. It is definitely something I want to see survive

Whether this started with solfa notation in Italy, or in the late 18th C, is not what I am getting at.


Chris Hogwood's old orchestra, the ACAM now, takes its name from a group started to play music less than 50 years old, back in the 18thC.

Because I a share a love of R&R or the blues or whatever, or jazz with some of the classical guys, well, I can still converse with them.
