ALL LISTENING IS NOW
Filed under: General
Posted by: @ 5:47 am

All listening is NOW. Listening is never
2nd-hand. May the Muses take pity on
the “Old Music” and Baroque musicians,
so full of fear and worry about “how Bach
would have played.” All music is NOW, and
naturally resists being a slave of the past.
“Authenticity” is only of interest insofar as
it is relevant, or resonates with, the repertoire
of current metaphysical urgencies.
