Jesus, talk about a cult of personality. There's no doubt that Taruskin's a fantastic writer and a sharp thinker, but the dutiful way some musicologist talk about him is nauseating.
I want to sit at his feet and listen to him talk about all his thoughts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never found someone else so fascinating!!!!!!!
Do you know that you can rate your professor on After Classroom under the tap MyX. Also, on After Classroom you will completely find new ways to learn and socialize with your friends.
It doesn't matter if you agree with Taruskin. He represents performative knowledge in the postmodern sense; thats is, his rhetoric is so strong that even his most fervent antagonists are quickly rendered silent. And that's about as firm as truth claims get these days.
@BeauJames59 When will you be published then? You imply that you can possibly have some effect on the institution of academia or its discourse. Let me suppose for the moment that you cannot. This is the point I wish to make, that your rhetoric is not likely to change the minds of the people who constitute Taruskin's discipline. And they are the only people that matter to him, because they are the only ones who he competes with.
@featheon LOL.....my friend, step away from the computer a minute! I love Taruskin, his brain is beautiful. It was a little friendly sarcasm......take care....
Humbler25's real name is Mr Kelzer. He's part-Danish, & is a teacher in California. Online, under the anonymous moniker "Humbler25", Kelzer has conducted himself very unprofessionally, casting shame on the profession of teaching. He's baited & lured atheists on many videos, & proceeded to insult them & falsely accuse them of being "gay" when they disagree with his religious views. One day Kelzer will have a nasty surprise when he arrives at work & is called into the administrator's office.
Taruskin never ceases to amaze me with his acumen. What's equally inspiring is that he communicates erudition in such as way that it's extremely "user friendly." Bravo.

I'm on the penultimate book of his many-volumed history. Great stuff. Love the philosophical musings especially.

@BeauJames59 and I disagree with your lifestyle, but that shouldn't make you so bitter.
