Susan McClary On Why Cultural Context Matters to Understanding the Music You Play
Loading...
Uploaded by ArtistsHouseMusic on Mar 30, 2010
In this clip from www.artistshousemusic.org - Susan McClary, Professor of Musicology at the University of California, Los Angeles, makes a forceful case for the importance of understanding the context in which a piece of music was written, as a prerequisite for understanding the music itself. She uses as an example Beethovens Ninth Symphony, and its slow evolution in Western culture as an un-performable mess to one of the greatest works of all time.

It's all well and good to say we should 'perform doubt', but remember, you're not the one who has to turn that into music.
