Klaus Döring's Classical Music/Klaus Döring's Klassische Musik

by   Maureen Buja We were looking at a book of musical quotations the other day and found some things that make one so glad to have a sense of perspective. Here, John Gregory, writing in 1766 in his  A Comparative View of the State and Faculties of Man with Those of the Animal World , had this to say about what composer? ‘[The style of COMPOSER] sometimes pleases by its spirit and a wild luxuriancy … but possesses too little of the elegance and pathetic expression of music to remain long in the public taste.’ Hmmm. So we want a mid-18th century composer who had spirit and a sense of luxury but lacked elegance…. Mozart? Hummel? No, they’re too late. Gregory was referring to the style of the music of Haydn, who, of all composers of his era, has remained in the public taste where so many of his contemporaries have vanished. Hardy: Joseph Haydn, 1791 We have two composers with two very different views of conductors. The first, a composer, suffered poor performances ...

So many of these women, Kwan adds, were also “part and parcel to the shaping of civil rights, which was of...

4 out of 10 parents and carers are thinking of leaving their careers in classical music, according to a new report.  Picture: Getty By Kyle Macdonald, ClassicFM London   Inflexibility, gendered work structures, and pay penalties are all named as things with the potential to push parents and carers out of the classical music industry. 4 out of 10 parents and carers are thinking of leaving their careers in classical music due to challenging working practices, according to a new study by Parents and Carers in Performing Arts (PiPA) and Birkbeck, University of London. The new report, titled  A Bittersweet Symphony , surveyed 410 participants from the music industry and conducted focus groups and in-depth interviews. Its findings highlight the struggle that those in the classical music sector face when having to balance work and supporting children, elderly or sick family members. Freelance women report the lowest median income of £12,000 from music (versus £20,000 for male fr...

By Chris Lloyd, Interlude © streetpianos.com The previous article (Einaudi: The Saviour of Classical Music) was a provocation designed to explore the relationship of a new generation of people to a flourishing genre of music based around relaxing solo piano. Because of the requirements of word scarcity in opinion pieces, I made a quick argument that aside from urging the reader to rethink their public posturing on music they don’t like, suggested that a renaissance is occurring in piano playing, with a large upswell of interest from adults showing an interest in learning the instrument. I briefly mused on why this could be the case: is it because everyone got  that  bored of Netflix during global pandemic lockdowns that they looked for other forms of entertainment, and all the local knitting classes were full? Perhaps. But I believe the cause goes deeper, and includes the desire of people to engage with tactile activities (such as knitting, or pottery, or drawing classes) to ...
