Emptiness? Hm, the white spot instead suggests Vastness!
To see more of the emptiness or rather more of spaciousness, viewers from around the world are now tracking the following blogger:
Coming back to the musicians of the younger generation, some say few of them play with their heart. Competitions as a way of starting a career in music is devastating. And then there is the rise of recording business where audience would listen with the sheet music on hand ! And then the undue influence of the so-called critiques -- mostly paid one way or the other-- turning music into a money making machine, promoting populism even in classical music. Few musicians nowadays improvise anymore and rubato is a rarity; too many scales and etudes instead. Furtwangler used to interprete music there and then, so every time is different, making music a multi-facet expressive and organic entity. The tradition is gone. The change of modern human relationship, following the rise of metropolitan city life particularly so with the breaking down of families and family ties. Does one need to know life better before he actually knows about arts, the imitation of life ? Making things worse, noisy factories are full steam ahead... All in all, only 3-5 % of the population are still listening to classical music these days, according to numerous surveys! I, nevertheless, find the following players charming:
