Post Subject: My racism in music.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 8/5/2024
Your description of second-rank composers vs first-rank is
spot on in my view. Interestingly, I know very little about the "lands of
the Vikings" ambiance and am quite ignorant about its sonic harmonics. Even
if I hear Fins, Swedish, Danish or Norway music, I do not get its identity. Perhaps
because I never was there.
Nowadays, in times when everyone talks about national economies
and the rest of nationalist values, I need to admit that I am a bit racist in terms
of music. I do not like USA music, I do listen to and appreciate it, but not particularly
a huge fan of any slave music. Have a complex relationship with generally all Western
European music. Where I completely feel at home is German music. The more music
to me sounds Germanic, the more I like it. Isn’t it funny for a Russian Jew?Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
