quote:
The proof is that white composers are referred to only by their last name...Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart, etc. Black composers are listed by their first and last names, indicating that they don't reach the higher class of whites.
Everyone knows who Beethoven, Mozart, etc. is. No one outside of hardcore fans knows Florence Price. And on that note, there's a reason we know certain composers. I'd say Mahler and Strauss are underappreciated before the obscure black composers: everyone should know who those two are, but common knowledge doesn't extend beyond four or five

Many, many more than just mahler and Strauss.
Paganini, Handel, Braums, Haydn, Rossini.
Our simplified, 4-chord, pachelbel music industry has programmed most of the population to shun complexity.
Part of the Beatles' revolution was rediscovering classical music theory.
Can some contemporary music offer interesting ideas? Yes.
Are they really trying to develop music complexity... or are they trying to lay down a juicy hook to make money?
I'll let you decide.
