Comments on: Hugo Wolf for the masses — what’s elitist about that? http://www.sequenza21.com/2007/02/hugo-wolf-for-the-masses-whats-elitist-about-that/ The Contemporary Classical Music Community Sun, 19 May 2013 04:27:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Robert Zimmerman http://www.sequenza21.com/2007/02/hugo-wolf-for-the-masses-whats-elitist-about-that/comment-page-1/#comment-2377 Robert Zimmerman Wed, 14 Feb 2007 03:52:47 +0000 http://www.sequenza21.com/index.php/281#comment-2377 This is innocuous enough, I guess, but it strikes me as tunnel vision to use the interest in classical music as a cultural barometer–now isn’t the end of the 19th century and there are many other kinds of creative, challenging music out there. And from the perspective of some of those other musics, classical music looks awfully passive, too–other people, it turns out, move around, make noise, and otherwise participate in their music.

Who wrote this? Any reason why it’s not credited?
