Music Appreciation Through The Ages : 30 pages in
length.
One of the reasons that the “average Joe” cares little for
classical music is that he knows nothing of it. We have raised
generations in which it is common for the average person to be
unable to distinguish between Vivaldi and Tchaikovsky.
Khatchaturian is an unknown name, and a response of, “I’ve
heard that one—it’s on all the old cartoons” is commonplace.
Some observers believe that classical music is now a special
taste, like Greek language or pre-Columbian archeology. With
the proper exposure and the proper method of teaching—that of
anticipated surprise rather than supreme boredom and
all-too-common pretentiousness—that respect can slip into a
love of the music that will be enduring for a lifetime and so
preserve the genius of the ages. Bibliography lists 16 sources.
