I am a composer of electronic music as well as an admirer of classical music and jazz. It seems anything aesthetically challenging in the music world has been marginalized almost to a non existence. As for the snobbery that comes with the classical music world well I hate to post this but it definitely does exist in jazz especially from the purists perspective like Keith Jarrett who refuses to incorporate modern instrumentation into his music(perhaps thats why Ive lost interest in his music tho I admire his skills).<br />I believe whole-heartily this is part of a large scale ideology set forth by corporate America to dumb down citizens and infuse the sheep mentality whether its music, food, clothing or political ideology.<br />Thanks Don for your post!
