Home Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Re: "allow that whole tradition to stagnate and die"...Seriously...

To put it quite simply, I am concerned that those people who love Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, etc and who don't listen to contemporary music, people who seem to make up a majority of classical music lovers, are simply loving that music to death. It would be a shame to lose it, but I think the cost of keeping it alive is listening to it a little less and listening to contemporary music a lot more.

And let's make no mistake about it. If every classical music lover listened to 1 hour less of the traditional reportoire a week and used that hour for listening to contemporary music instead, we would have a situation of listening a little less to the traditional reportoire and a lot more to contemporary music. Not only would it do wonders for classical music as a whole, it would give many listeners a whole new appreciation of the music they already love.
