Something Nice to Start the Weekend

August 14th, 2009

I suppose that folks who don’t like Vivaldi will consider this proof that the insult, “he wrote the same concerto 500 times” is true; to me it’s proof that it’s not. Funny how we hear the same music in completely different ways, isn’t it?

    I swear to God, I tried. I really did. And sorry, it still sounds like every other damn thing by Vivaldi I’ve ever listened to. Maybe someday I’ll figure Vivaldi out — after all, I didn’t like the Beatles until a year ago — but I don’t see how.

    Different strokes… Personally I can’t listen to Wagner. I try to understand why he’s considered a musical genius. So… okay I guess he was a musical genius but I still can’t listen to his music.

    I’ve never noticed them as being all the same. Perhaps they all follow the same form. But rock n roll, country and pop music pretty much does that too, and these genres are much more popular than early classical ever was.

    With a I, IV V, chord, you’ve got nearly every modern song ever written.
