One question, first:
What are the fundamental parts of music? Look it up, if you have the time...or interest. If I may be so bold? Blunt? Whatever, not trying to sound cocky here... Start with: 'Copland, Aaron (1939; Revised 1957), What to Listen For in Music' My opinion: 'Classical' music is complex, dynamic, expresses a story without a single lyric. So many patterns. Changing, flowing... Also, thee are many kinds of classical music. So... |

It's interesting to note how many people have heard of Beethoven, but how few of brilliant composers such as Dvorak. I think the situation will be similar in 300 years - everyone will have heard of the Beatles, but bands like the Doors and the Beach Boys will be forgotten.

Classical music needs a makeover.
I don't think the music is very unpopular;I think that the image of classical music is something that people don't like. The attraction of pop/rock music to the young is that it both imitates their own image style and is something that they can aspire to. E.g. Work a little harder and you can buy the clothing, have your hair styled that way, etc..you couldn't become a concert pianist in a few months!
If I am perfectly honest not many people think deeply about the actual sound if the music they listen to. Their present mood,their memories,their desires,the function of the music(e.g. celebrations like weddings,funerals...) and the image/lifestyle presented appear to be more important. |
