I agree with that. Music for musicians is often different than music for listeners. My audio dealer loves "Free Jazz" the best, and I don't get it as a listener. He does, he's a performer.Classical music has been through these routes before. Improvisational music was going on hundreds of years ago in various forms. My father says it got to the point that the composers heard so much poor musicianship ruining their music via poor interpretations, etc., that they invented more ways to take the freedom away from the musician with more descriptive notations added to the sheet music.
Not all improvisation is done poorly, however. But it can be difficult to understand. I found the best way to learn to appreciate improvisational jazz is to listen to it performed to very familiar popular tunes. Then you can hear how the deviations from the original relates, and it's quite enjoyable. To hear it performed on music I am completely unfamiliar with often leaves me in the dark.
