Q: I've been thinking for a long time about posting music (classical)-related videos to YouTube, but stop before I even start because I talk myself out of it. "Oh you don't have the right equipment, or money for better equipment. Only 2% of the US population claim to be interested in classical music and who knows what percentage (10%?) of them would even potentially watch your videos?" How did/do you strangle these voices in their sleep?
A: anything's good in the right context. when you say 'classical music', that sounds like only part of the experience. if the real 100% focus is the music, you're still going to need an environment to put the music in. at the very least a fancy room or parlour, set for the time period. if there's absolutely no other context from the music, it will not be clear where you are supposed to be. you will think you are trapped in a waiting room or hallway somewhere. even the original rendition was not in this barren a context, you see
