anyone can buy their way into yale....or curtis. You know that. Otherwise you wouldn't be here waxing on

@astramaia I also find it quite funny how "Bottom Feeder" was not one of the adjectives used when I was first accepted to Yale and then later to the Curtis Institute of Music. I actually don't believe it to be used very often by developed minds - it is sort of non progressive in a way... Doesn't really further anything does it?...

@astramaia See how this changed into me having a debate with myself, I quite enjoyed it. You had the great chance of joining in, but I guess you opted out with this comment - it just confuses me a bit when people engage in something without truly being engaged. It is almost as if some people dont think before they speak - they just utter whatever comes to mind first, and which sounds strong and maybe provoking too. Just like members of a certain party I can see you support from your profile...

[adamfrandsen]

@adamfrandsen and I do believe there is such a thing as a musical intellect, in fact I believe there are several musical intellects that can work together and against each other. Therefore I also believe that some have more to say on the subject than others, and while music is for everyone, there is no harm in emphasizing that some do it better than others and so deserve admiration and recognition. That can be done without harming or insulting others, and I am sorry if I offended you.

@adamfrandsen I know she is phenomenal, I can hear, see and feel that, it is quite obvious to anyone. So, when people make stupid comments about intonation here, it makes me angry. I don't like to experience that people who work a lifetime to perfect their art, can be judged so loosely and unfounded as is often the case on youtube. On the other hand I love a good debate, and I think that it is okay to have a difference of opinion. But a good debate is limited to the lowest intellect in it.

@adamfrandsen I listen to a lot of classical music, most of my friends are classical musicians. I know there are other good violinists, I know that there may be some that would generally be accepted as better, or that I might think sounded better if I heard them. I can just sense from a certain way of argumentation on what basis it was founded, and so I react in accordance. I would never go to a Hilary Hahn video and post negative stuff about her, because I had a preference to someone else.

@adamfrandsen Often times it is even enough if other people think you know what you are doing. Then you can make a living from living up to a zero-aesthetics standard and support a never ending downwards spiral towards pre-meassured, pre-shaped, pre-packaged, mass produced and mass appealing indifferent entertainment. I agree that it is a problem that amateurs can voice their opinion on an equally weighted public platform like youtube, when there are more interesting prof. measurements available

@adamfrandsen Bottom feeder. It's obvious.

[adamfrandsen]

@astramaia Someone who is passionate about music - in all genres by the way. Someone who takes offense to negative comments about things that are obviously in their own league. I have listened to the people I mentioned live and have enjoyed their playing, especially Julia Fischer, she really touched me. I hear so much bad music, so many crappy instrumentalists and vocalists in all genres. The focus was once a talent itself, now it is about the talent to acquire a skill and abuse it.
