Re: [AUDITORY] SV: RE: Perceptual basis of evolving western musical styles

[Martin Braun <nombraun@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Frédéric,

Could it be that your question is somewhat extremely incomplete?

Some "western" musical styles continued to evolve until today, whereas 
others were deliberately terminated by certain interest groups.

Academic art music that calls itself "western" has been fighting a war 
against the very concept of further evolution in art music, and that for the 
past 100 years. How meaningful, or how ridiculous, such academic exercises 
were and still are is a matter of controversy. Not, however, that they do 
not fit the term "evolution".

Martin

Sorry to interrupt again. Would you see any difference in the evolution of 
western musical style between 1960s and 1980s? or 1900s and 1920s? FM
