Sorry, i guess I have a "bone to pick" with several genres of "popular" music these days. I realized that I made no specific mention of that . All my mentioning of style was completely directed toward "pop singers" (along with the comfort level talk). (I really can't think of any
Classical Musicians lacking the ambition & technical skills needed to be considered person who approach what they do with a " Craftsman's" like attitude)
You do see the differentiation between between someone who can play music on an instrument & a musician. What I "rail" against is all the instrument players & people singing on" popular" recordings , who appear to be just players. As Joni Mitchell once said in an interview. "There is very little " muse" in Music today.
In retrospectect , I should have left my comments on this alone, as i was just listing reasons
why I don't listen to this music anyway.
Sorry, that I did'nt really add any value to the "Technician's skills" discussion ( just wait , you'll
be old & struggling to maintain coherency one day also) & with that I'll say what Alfred Hitchcock would say "Good Eeevening " ( hint; I'll concede any point I didn't sufficiently explain)
Follow Ups:
I was completely thinking classical music. This clears a lot up thanks.
Actually, I can think of 1 Classical Musician who, although given the details of hst history may
have had his ambition & heart in the right place, appeared to lack some needed technical
skills. David Helfgott.
After seeing his story, & a few other things about the impact that Piano Competitions possibly
may have, left me wondering if these completions were really such a good idea. The first
thing that comes to mind is that I can't think of anything .that has less of a need for a competitive element to work than music. Is there really an overabundance of budding "Virtousi" that we need to "pair down" their number ?
I do realize the long tradition of the competitions, but I wonder how many more musicians
changed their plans to become Concert Artists for reasons not having to do with their
years upon years of acquiring musical skills.
