but oft times, I don't have written down exactly what I play.
Thanks a lot
I'm working on more things all the time, Zelda music among them. So eventually I'll get more recordings up, but it might be a month or two.
I'll look forward to it
(what's anti-academic snobbism?)
Accademic snobbism refers to the mentality of 1900 century music accademies
It has been a "holier than thou" mentality where accademic music despite lacking ideas: burnin pianos, breaking instruments, thowing the scores towatd the audience, spilling water while playing, hit an harp with a bat, playing dust bins and that sort of thing known as avant-gard music (this is surely a misnomer), was considered "high art" while all the rest outside (jazz, popular and folk music) was considered crap
So, accademic music shut themselves in their ivory tower and when the world listen to something else they said that it was because they were more intelligent and people out there listening to Mozart and jazz was idiot
This snobbism and manneris at its best
Most music was composed for the sake of it and not because the author anything to convey (this became clear when it was discovered that there were a lot of economics affair behind the avant-garde music meaning a lot of lp and concerts already in program, and that's why accademies held so much their mentality in order to have all their contracts with their publishers fulfilled)
"the holier than thou" mentality can be found on a lot of things peculiar of the 1900 that are well known among teachers and students and were cause of malcomptent for a lot of musicians and composers uncluding a lot of famous teachers and wannabe musicians
Among these things: the theory that only accademic music is "art music" (in fact "artistic music as a term was founded in 1920), the idea that everything behind accademic music is stupid and puerile including jazz, folk, pop, minimalism and soundtracks, the banning of folk theme of folk influnces in accademic music, the theory that there were such a thing as taste and that is the audience didn't liked an avnt-gard work it was because audience is ignorant and stupid, the banning of tonality from concerto, composition and new works (to the point that a lot of composers had to wait 1989 before some of they atonal work could be executed, the hideous theory that the author musr always full his/her score with a lot of interpretation notation and the destruction of the personal interpretation ideas, the banning of improvisation, utilization of biased book on harmony, the destruction of classical orchestration courses ... and a lot more than that
Accadedemic mentality became snob as it gets it with THEY as the gods and the people outside the accademies as stupid ignorant assholes
music was not snob in the romanticism, there were not an holier than thou mentality and as strange as this may sound music was so alive and within the contect that it was allowed to dance and screan in theater while listening a Liszt performance
Today strict seriousity and stillness is required while attending a concerto performance still making the distance between popular instinctive emotional approach to music and the manneristic snobbism attitude toward music of accademies even larger
As I said accademic snobbism of the avant-garde era is fading and we're returning to a post-romantic approach to music and with a less "holier than thou" attitude toward popular music
Playing video-games music is highly anti-snob and anti-manneristic
