Mozart
Friday, July 21st, 2006An excerpt from Alex Ross’s article on Mozart for the New Yorker:
One wonders what Mozart would have made of today’s musical scene, when “American Idol” contestants cover Elvis hits and university composers write super-complex, mathematically recondite works, and the happy medium seems, on most days, deserted.
The whole article is a bit long at almost 30,000 words, but well worth reading.
