Product Description

Review

The subject of this book is an important one...it will provide a basis for discussion and dialogue and I am sure it will generate a substantial amount of interest among composers, music theorists, and musicologists.

Product Description

Drawing on contemporary thought about 'design space' and 'universal Grammar' to show how intrinsic values can be rediscovered, this book looks at the importance of multimedia in allowing multiple points of entry for the discovering of new works. "Classical Music: Why Bother?" will intrigue all listeners of contemporary music, students of musical thought, and composers-but it will also interest students of contemporary aesthetics. It answers the age-old question "How can we bring a new audience to contemporary art?" - and challenges both the creators and their audience to broaden their ideas about what is valuable and lasting in today's culture.

Classical Music Why Bother 21 Nov 2010

By Nfalky - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Great Read so far, (haven't actually had the time to finish yet).

I found so nice to hear some down to earth opinons on the things I, as a composer, face every day. (esspecially the story in the prelude about meeting people and explaining one's occupation).

Valuable read for anyone interested in new music.
