Eight sentences about classical music I'd be happy never to read again from Matthew Guerrieri (via patioboe)

Gems. I will admit to having committed anniversary honors on dead composers (I did it just this week), but only as an excuse to call public attention to composers I was listening to yesterday and will be listening to again tomorrow. Otherwise, though, I've heard and loathe 'em all. Yes, I really have been told that I don't like what I like, and all the rest.

I don't like most of it either (there are some exceptions), but this isn't about atonal music per se. It's about liking what you like, whatever it may be. I have indeed been accused of not really liking what I actually like, and even more often of really liking what I actually dislike.
