Arto,
art is not a democratic process...
and generalization is an essential element in the former.

Subject: [LUTE] Re: More on modern music
So, no critcs of the critics? To me the following kind of attitudes are
pure facism:
"As to purely [modernist] sound – it is utterly inappropriate for all
lutes in general, and the baroque lute in particular, as the acoustical
properties of the instrument tolerate absolutely no gratuitous dissonance
and/or non-traditional methods of producing sound …"
Generalizations on generaliztions. Blaming a genre as such. How this kind
of thinking is possible today? Well, seems to be the unhappy trend these
days anyhow...

To All:
Our last blog post on modern music for the lute created some
discussion
and raised some very interesting points. We have a follow-up posting
today with a link to a recording of one of our modern songs, just to
be
fair.
