@tonyprinciotti This is at least the second time you've claimed Copland lived nine years longer than he did. And made this bizarre, baseless, claim about how the "avant-garde" kept him from being compositionally productive.

Although Aaron Copland lived until 1999, he found that his creative fertility had all but vanished. He later said that "It was as if someone had simply turned off a faucet." His lack of sympathy with the avant-garde styles then dominant in new music may have played a role.

@tonyprinciotti Isn't this akin to saying "the utility of rear-view mirrors is limited by the fact that they don't show you the road in front of you"?

A working knowledge of Western Music Theory can be very helpful; for me, it's indispensable for learning scores. But its utility is limited by the fact that it usually codifies past common practices, instead of charting the future. It's more description than prescription.

Getting into the car this afternoon and tuning the radio, my wife asked, “Why hasn’t Christmas music evolved?” I wasn’t prepared for such a hard question to start our grocery run.

I agree that the requirement to read sheet music for music school is unfair. Unlike many of the professors here, I don’t agree that reading music is “trivially easy,” because if it was, you’d just spend an afternoon on YouTube, and the problem would be solved. 1/
