  Hi! Yes, of course there are racist musicians, however, as a generalization I think music is something that encourages cultural cross-pollination due to the nature of art and enquiring, creative minds. My experience of music is exuberance and passion upon hearing different approaches and styles rather than a fear of differing cultures. I refer to my own musical practice in the past and to musicians and composers I have listened to. So, it's strange for me to hear the idea of racism when associated with hybrid musical styles. However, there are racist musicians as there are in all walks of life. I don't watch videos in their entirety as I don't have the time so I listen to excerpts, read accompanying text and my comments are based on this. I love the word "Jazz" as it evokes the jarring, spontaneous, syncopated music that, for me, was always redolent of playfulness, joy, intelligence, modernism and artistic cross-pollination. Classical, of course, refers to the Classical period (1700's Europe) as ideas developed after the Renaissance. It stuck and, as you say, refers to written music and musical conventions that grew out of this. It is a Western concept that reflects a Western approach to culture. However, this doesn't mean that the music isn't of quality. It doesn't mean that music from non-Western cultures aren't of quality. The mistake, I believe, was to see Western musical forms (particularly "art or classical music") as superior to music from other cultures. For me, musical approaches that involve improvisation, playing by ear, handing down music from one generation to the next, remembering music or using processes that are unconventional or experimental are all valid methods of creating and performing music.

  Calling "Classical music" racist is like calling English racist. A musical language is just what it is, a language with it's grammar it's influence spheres, it's students. Would English be inherently racist because through colonialism large populations in Africa and around the world speak English? And now of USA economical and cultural dominance everyone on earth learns English at school??

  Let me make a case for cultural appropriation, an other crime too often overlooked. At he beginning of this video you see people of sub-Saharan African ethnic origin playing classical music. These people play music composed by white people on instruments invented by white people. This is possibly one of the greatest crimes in recent history and they should all be brought to court and spend the rest of their lives in jail.

  Classical Music and Music Theory aren't racist. And you're using the terms wrong anyway. Classical Music has always referred to a specific style of music of The Western World, as opposed to folk and/or popular music in the Western World. The term doesn't refer to other cultures at all to begin with (and shouldn't be used that way), and neither should you use the term to refer to specific music from other cultures. That's all. I would also add that Classical music features polyphony and most pertinently - it is a distinctly WRITTEN tradition, as opposed to improvised or passed orally. You also do Classical music a HUGE disservice when you ignore that this music has analytical, critical, historiographical, musicological, and philosophical practices, as do all other forms of non-Classical music. And the first video you show is just dumb - we properly trace the entire Classical music tradition not to 19th century Germany, but back to ninth century medieval music (that's when we can trace the first written musical tradition to). And as to the ridiculous amount of time wasted on the basso continuo nonsense - the AP course that is pictured as the centerpiece of that argument is titled "The Harmonic Style Of 18th Century Musicians". If you want to study that specific style, your course better contain continuo! If you want to study Jazz harmony, you're better off with a classic like "The Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization" by George Russell. You use the right tool for the right application. And the assertion that it makes more sense to theorize Chopin through Jazz syntax as opposed to Classical syntax is the most seriously stupid thing I've ever heard. Chopin's entire compositional semantic and syntax was based on past Classical forms. Is Basso Continuo one of those forms? Yes. Is it applicable to understanding Chopin? No. But Classical harmonic and melodic architecture and form certainly is. *Trying to rewrite all of music history to fit it into your own narrowly defined ideology is a feeble way to attempt to justify your own existence*. Finally, the Schenkerian concepts elucidated in this video were all but dismissed by composers in academic settings almost as fast as they appeared, as they could not be applied with any useful input to non-tonal, atonal, twelve tone, minimal, and other styles of contemporary composition, and Schenker is now relegated as simply yet another tool used to help understand music narrowly of the Classical periods of composition - once you hit the 20th Century, it ceases to exist in discussion or application - I wish you all knew more about what the heck you were talking about...

  Sure, you have to consider context, contemporaneity, etc. The music isn't racist, some of it is clearly brilliant; in the 1500's, 1700's, etc. we didn't have multiculturalism and globalization. You can hear the European influence in Jazz, the classical and other European tropes embedded into music of Afro-Caribbean origin. You can hear the Western influence on Indian music and vice-versa. Music is sublime, beyond the parameters of such ideas; intrinsically noble and highly creative, musicians never bothered with racist ideas they were do busy being fascinated by disparate cultures and creating music!

  @googleisretarded76182 ай бұрын

  I don't see a problem with a given culture placing more importance on its own traditions. You act as if it's some grand conspiracy that white people's music has been given priority in Western culture. But the West is the part of the world where Europeans or people of European ancestry are the majority. Of course our music culture is centered on European musical traditions. That's our cultural heritage. Would you be shocked to find that in India, they prioritize Indian musical traditions? Are we in the West not allowed to have a culture? Why does it bother you so much? There seems to be lots of petty resentment and insecurity behind these attacks on Western (and only Western) cannons. Having said that, I think it can be a fruitful intellectual exercise to question categories and labels. It can open up new avenues of creativity. If you went about in a different way, and with better motives, I would be more sympathetic.

  Liberals hunt for racism in very way and for the very reason that communists hunted for Kulaks. The neo-Marxists of today's Democratic party subsist and thrive on racism.

Those who wish to realize racism for the advancement of their political agenda are actually worse than the racists, themselves.

•

  They knew each other very well. Freedom Jazz Dance was Harris' composition, and Miles was very impressed with this. Also, he played in Chicago a lot, and also went there often to see his sister. Jack DeJohnette also played with both of them probably bringing some influence. Beside all this, Eddie Harris wrote method books, and this was also a great influence on Miles' playing and understanding in music. I hope that answers your question!
