Great real-life example of what the music “looks like” when a musician goes into the studio to record.

Yep, this the the way we learn a piece - the only music you have is the music inside your own head. But to do it with someone else is so cool!!!!

Even the comments are fabulous food for thought for us all!

The term “classical music” is applied to radically different compositions across more than 1,000 years of history, Matthew Aucoin writes. We need a better definition. https://theatln.tc/yRwKHuAo

Aucoin is a composer and conductor in the field that’s broadly known as Western classical music, “a term that’s routinely applied to radically different idioms,” he writes. “The unruly and elusive entity known as classical music does not sound like any one thing, and the sheer abundance of the tradition might invite the conclusion that trying to define it at all is a hopeless exercise. But that would be a mistake, especially at this moment.”

“Like every other sector of cultural life, classical music has been roiled over the past decade by intense debates about the field’s ongoing lack of diversity,” Aucoin writes. The stakes of these discussions have at times felt existential, given many institutions’ financial straits. “Why, many onlookers have asked, should an orchestra or opera company gobble up millions of dollars from wealthy sponsors to subsidize the salaries of musicians who mainly perform music by white men from centuries past, music for which (judging by ticket sales) demand is limited?”

Rather than defend the “classical” in classical music, Aucoin proposes championing a particular creative process: What links so many composers isn’t “a specific sound or aesthetic but a shared technology of transmission.” At its core, classical music “is written music,” or “music that comes into being through the act of composition.”

“One approach to distinguishing musical traditions is to ask which form a given tradition treats as authoritative. It would be odd, for instance, to claim that a collection of printed scores constitutes a definitive document of the Beatles canon, because the unquestioned reference point is the band’s studio albums,” Aucoin writes. “In other words: albums first, scores later.”

“If we let ourselves be guided by this basic question—which musical artists regard the score as a creative starting point?—we arrive at the broadest and most welcoming definition of ‘classical’ music,” Aucoin continues. Read more at the link.
