Let us revert a moment TO that idea of
this busy man about heavy music.
Now there is a very prevalent notion that
classic music is heavy; that heavy music
is classic; that everything that a great
writer did is necessarily great; that great
writers and classic writer's are far above
the people, immeasurably distapt on the
heights. to which the people can scarcely
look, and certainly to which they can never
aspire.
These notions are wrong. All classic
music is not heavy. All heavy music is
not by any means classic. Every great
master has written things which are far
greater than other things he has written;
music has been written by men with great
names which could not get a publisher
today under your name, or that of John
Smith, (even if he spelled 1t Johann
smythe).
Great writer's and classic writer's are not
above the people at all times. They are
not always immeasurably distant. Let a
word or two of explanation be offered.
