Lawrence Kramer asks in this elegant, sharply observed, and beautifully written extended essay. Classical music, whose demise has been predicted for at least a decade, has always had its staunch advocates, but in today's media-saturated world there are real concerns about its viability. Why Classical Music Still Matters takes a forthright approach by engaging both skeptics and music lovers alike. In seven highly original chapters, Why Classical Music Still Matters affirms the value of classical music-defined as a body of nontheatrical music produced since the eighteenth century with the single aim of being listened to-by revealing what its values are: the specific beliefs, attitudes, and meanings that the music has supported in the past and which, Kramer believes, it can support in the future. Why Classical Music Still Matters also clears the air of old prejudices. Unlike other apologists, whose defense of the music often depends on arguments about the corrupting influence of popular culture, Kramer admits that classical music needs a broader, more up-to-date rationale. He succeeds in engaging the reader by putting into words music's complex relationship with individual human drives and larger social needs. In prose that is fresh, stimulating, and conversational, he explores the nature of subjectivity, the conquest of time and mortality, the harmonization of humanity and technology, the cultivation of attention, and the liberation of human energy. 606 $aMusic$xPhilosophy and aesthetics 606 $aMusical analysis 610 $a18th century. 610 $aacademic. 610 $aapologists. 610 $achopin. 610 $aclassical composers. 610 $aclassical music. 610 $aclassical musicians. 610 $acomposers. 610 $agershwin. 610 $ahuman nature. 610 $ajohann sebastian bach. 610 $ajohannes brahms. 610 $alove song. 610 $amedia. 610 $amozart. 610 $amusic lovers. 610 $amusic performance. 610 $amusic studies. 610 $amusical composers. 610 $amusical history. 610 $amusicians. 610 $apiano music. 610 $apopular culture. 610 $aravel. 610 $ascholarly. 610 $aschubert. 610 $aschumann. 610 $atechnology. 615 0$aMusic$xPhilosophy and aesthetics. 615 0$aMusical analysis. 676 $a781.68 700 $aKramer$b Lawrence$f1946-$0758984 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784420403321 996 $aWhy classical music still matters$93695223 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02389nam 22006375u 450 001 9910157651103321 005 20211006145322.0 010 $a9783318035957 010 $a3318035955 035 $a(CKB)3780000000102109 035 $a(OCoLC)1046109084 035 $a(SZ-BaSKA)220891 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31866486 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31866486 035 $a(EXLCZ)993780000000102109 100 $a20211006d1986 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurunu||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aScientific Evidence for Dietary Targets in Europe : $e22nd Symposium of the Group of European Nutritionists, Athens, April 1984 / $f editors, J.C.
