and how much revenue do they stand to lose in money loaded on unspent metro cards? I have probably half a dozen with a few bucks each on them

BWV 1080

Okay, I just figured this out. Google reference count, using first and last name. Brian Ferneyhough - 145,000 Oscar Golijov - 224,000 Ernest Chausson - 352,000 Dmitri Shostakovich - 382,000 Aaron Copland - 483,000 Frederic Chopin - 1,470,000 Joseph Haydn - 10,600,000 Ludwig van Beethoven - 15,400,0...

First proposition: the 'canon' is determined by performers not audiences. Composers whose music gets championed by leading performers is the quality test

Based on this Ferneyhough or Finnissy would be the most recent

another classic along the same lines

Once we needed the recording industry because making and distributing quality recordings was an industrial process. Now anyone can cheaply make and distribute a quality recording, the challenge is marketing in a crowded marketplace. For a brief period with the CD the music industry got the best of b...

Well Amazon does not run out of digital versions because every time one is downloaded an Amazon employee in their digital warehouse quickly orders a replacement copy from the publisher Do you know that for a fact? After all, if Amazon.com has one copy in digital format on its server, it can technic...

I can't tell the difference between Amazon's 320k MP3 compression and cd audio on my equipment (which in total has a low 4 digit price tag - so decent but not audiophile crazy - and there are numerous double blind studies that tend to show that very few people can tell the difference even in more hi...

Well Amazon does not run out of digital versions because every time one is downloaded an Amazon employee in their digital warehouse quickly orders a replacement copy from the publisher - because the digital versions travel to Amazon so much quicker - at speeds of 400 million miles per hour instead o...

And I have yet to see Amazon run out of any of the digital versions of their music or books

BWV 1080

Reger tried to fuse post-Wagnerian chromaticism with traditional forms, the numerous sets of variations are a good place to start, particularly the Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Mozart op.132 The Clarinet Quintet is one of his most respected works and the String Quartets are worth the effort Th...

https://johnsonsrambler.wordpress.com/2016/03/17/birthday-playlist-for-finnissy-at-70/ Few living composers have an output as large and as diverse as Michael Finnissy does. On the occasion of his 70th birthday, I’ve tried to reflect that in a little playlist, along with some brief thoughts on what I...

If you read an economics textbook you learn that efficient market sets the price of a commodity just above the production cost. If it doesn't - it does not work. that is not so. The definition of an efficient market is one that does not allow risk-free arbitrage, prices reflect all available inform...

Like this http://arxiv.org/abs/1201.2458 We analyze the time pattern of the activity of a serial killer, who during twelve years had murdered 53 people. The plot of the cumulative number of murders as a function of time is of "Devil's staircase" type. The distribution of the intervals between murder...

The infrastructure bit is a canard made up by the American Society of Civil Engineers which is nothing more than a lobbying group representing the self-interest of its members. Politicians like Sanders of course love infrastructure spending because it gives them more power through having contracts t...

Actually not much of one. The Scandinavian countries are actually much more business-friendly than the US is currently and way more so than Sanders would have it. The lesson Bernie Sanders needs to learn is that you cannot finance a Danish-style welfare state without free markets and large tax incre...

I easily got 100% correct on the artist or ape test, so does that disprove your point?

the average person cant tell the difference between Thomas Kincade and JWM Turner or between Andrew Botacelli and Pavarotti singing Verdi, so what?

I didn't think he was writing about Danae and Zeus. :D Sorry, I think that piece is just a pile of invective for its own sake, attack rather than argument, and a waste of ink.

Another point - the composer is not the final word on his composition -the community of performers is. Prokofiev is within living memory - why has no one played his works like the example above? Why is prokofiev even considered worthy of performance? The answer to both questions is that the performi...

BWV 1080

The golden shower rebuke is well deserved - the diversity and quality of musical performances available today, either through recordings or concerts, dwarfs anything in the past. Music seems to be the only art that has this fetish about past performing practice. I do not see arguments for a lost gol...

The notion that while the government cannot ban a book based on its content but can restrict the expenditure of the funds necessary to publish the book is the ridiculous and unconstitutional canard of 'money = speech' that the court wisely threw out

BWV 1080

I think Taruskin commented on the HIP movement something to the effect of 'its not historically accurate, but sounds good anyway' which would go with the golden shower bloggers point. I prefer Berman's more straight rhythm, but am an unrepentant modernist and not much of a Prokofiev fan. For contemp...

through corporate money spending unlimited amounts on campaign ads, why are Sanders and Trump doing so well?

I respectfully disagree that the Roman Empire did not decline. As years went by, the currency was debased, inflation and public debt rose, the general public was passive and increasingly failed to participate or protest (this was the origin of the satirist Juvenal's phrase "panem et cirenses"), pub...

I agree that football will be dead in a generation Not that soon, if ever.

Sports advertising has become much more valuable in recent years as these events have become just about the only thing that people watch live anymore. Makes sense that companies would allocate their marketing budgets accordingly. The real scam is the taxpayer dollars that go to subsidize stadiums. A...

No, jbuck's post is Chang conducting. The interesting thing about messiaen's music is that it really blossomed and became fully realizied after he absorbed post-war modernism. Hindemith never left neoclassicism and stravinsky adopted serial techniques in his own idiosyncratic way. Messiaen produced ...
