Kramer Lawrence
WHY CLASSICAL MUSIC STILL MATTERS
Berkeley CA: University Of California Press 2007. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Dust Jacket. Berkeley CA: University Of California Press 2007. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Edition/First Printing. 242 pages. Book-length account on subject. One of the most passionate compelling and accessible polemical books on the state of Classical Music in the Global Age. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited print run as a hardcover original only by a University Press. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Lawrence Kramer's "Why Classical Music Still Matters". Which has become a surprising mainstream success. The strength of Lawrence Kramer's argument lies precisely in the fact that he is unwilling to make compromises as even some of the most well-known classical artists have to a "mass audience". He thinks rightly that it is condescending to them and that the fundamental appeal of Classical Music before and after the rise and eventual dominance of American popular music will always be that it is the more challenging and therefore more rewarding experience an experience that isn't just about "The Past" but one that exists simultaneously on many complex levels. It is what the idea of music has always been about and why the great British critic Walter Pater once said that "all art aspires to the condition of music" and Kramer puts it in a fresh and engaging perspective in polished non-academic prose that is richly descriptive. "Classical Music isn't necessarily all that bad off. There is still a diverse range of concert performances and many listeners are choosing to download works from the Internet. But something still feels wrong something Lawrence Kramer identifies as the loss of Classical Music's central role in cultural life. The reasons Kramer offers for why one ought to appreciate Classical Music go back to the high-culture argument that it 'asks its listeners to imagine a work with more fullness and complexity than most other music does' converting emotions into tangible sound yet somehow not reducing them to abstraction. The problem with writing about Classical Music of course is that no matter how passionately you describe a Brahms quintet it's not the same as hearing an actual performance. Kramer is very convincing when he describes the effect a young performer's Bach sonata has on crowds at a New York subway station. Such moments of direct observation are sprinkled throughout the erudite text" Publishers Weekly. An absolute "must-have" title for all lovers and would-be lovers of Classical Music. <b><i> This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know this is the only copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws are subsequent printings or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. </b></i> One of the finest writers on music of our time. A fine copy. . ISBN 0520250826. University Of California Press hardcover
