Re: Minimalism Causes Injuries (So Does Beethoven)

Perhaps Mr. Blumberg would also like to make a blanket statement against the Raga music of India, or the canon of West African drum literature - two of the many influences that created this so-called minimalism - simply because he may not "get it."

About 100 years ago, there were plenty of people with similar attitudes who hated Debussy's music which was influenced by the Balanese Gamelan and music of he Far East.

For some it was enough to say, "I don't get it because I don't want to get it."
Others allowed Debussy's beautiful music the possibility to live and breathe.

Who knows what will happen to so-called minimalism? Public opinion seems to favor minimalist music. Maybe it will stick around.

Of course public opinon favored "The Piña Colada Song" for a little while. Don't worry... Maybe it'll go away.

All in good fun,
