My reading of serious books about serious music is seriously compromised by the way that I can't understand any musical theory. Any mentions of D major or C minor are meaningless to me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think my knowledge of music theory is rooted in jazz theory, and a lot of the writers of standards - Rodgers and Hart, and Gershwin.
I don't know anything about music theory at all. Zero. But I don't really need to.
You must surrender whatever preconceptions you have about music if you're really interested in it.
However, very recently I have come to an understanding that complex music is not necessarily pleasant.
It's really only all about music. It's not like a big rocket scientist kind of philosophy or anything.
My reading is always about musical biographies. I have an innate interest and passion for that.
I wanted to explore the connections between different kinds of music.
I don't steer clear of genres. I simply haven't steered myself toward some of them.
I'm not really interested in music. Music is just a means of creating a magical state.
Playing music is not really susceptible to theory much. Circumstances affect it so much.
