| A long time ago I read an interview of Stravinsky where he talks about the effects of records, radios and jukeboxes. It used to be that it was difficult to hear good music well played and as a result audiences were repectful and quiet. Now, with all the media music, even good music, becomes a sort of aural wallpaper that no one pays attention to. The only way to break through the barrier is by being loud and repititious to finally capture the attention of the audience. Stravinsky was a real smart guy |
