I am curious as to practice of those who listen to Classical Music as their
primary interest. Do you listen to other types of Music?
It is my experience that Jazzers tend to listen to only Jazz. I don't know
why. Maybe they can't appreciate what Mozart etc, has done with I iv and V
without extensions and substitutions. If the chord ain't "Fatback" they
don't want to hear it.
As for me , I listen to all types of Music that has an inner pulse. So rap
is out for me. How do you dance to that hoblegated Music? I can see the
sublimity of:
Ansermet's Gran Partita
Toscanini's Prelude to Act III of Die Meistisinger
Fred Astaire's Night and Day
Ella Fitzgerald's Too Darn Hot
The Beatle's You're Going To Lose That Girl
Duke Ellington's Black And Tan Fantasy-The Victor Version
Sinatra's Young At Heart
Prez and Billie's He Ain't Got Rhythm
etc.
I consider myself better off for that
Please take the time to testify
