If we look at music history closely, it is not difficult to isolate certain elements of great potency which were to nourish the art of music for decades, if not centuries.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Music is part of history, and our history has lessons that cannot be separated from our greatest music.
Unquestionably, our contemporary world of music is far richer, in a sense, than earlier periods, due to the historical and geographical extensions of culture to which I have referred.
Obviously classical music tends to be stuff that is usually at least a hundred years old.
Music is always going to be only as sophisticated as the culture that consumes it.
Music is thousands and thousands of years old and I don't think that basic, primitive connection to the language of music ever changes.
First, it doesn't surprise me that traditional music has experienced a kind of exhaustion in the 20th century - not forgetting that many musicians started to look outside the traditional structures of tonality.
I never presumed that a technique of composition or an idea was so special that just using it would guarantee the quality of the music.
The problem with music was always that the sound system often obliterated the words, and words, not music, have always been what I was about.
I don't know anything about the history of music.
History's most treasured musicians were believed in and cultivated to reach their potential. Today, it would be difficult for those musicians to get deals. We have the insight and the tools to identify and bring to fruition the dormant talent that our artists possess.
