Greg Sandow on the future of classical music

This blog…

May 20, 2006 by Greg Sandow

…now happily accepts comments. If you’d like to post one, just click on the “comments” link at the end of the entry you want to comment on. You can post anonymously, if you like, simply by leaving the “name” and “email address” fields blank. To read comments, first look to see if there are any; if the number in parentheses is zero, then there aren’t any comments. (And yes, I know that many of us know all this already, but trust me — there are people reading this who don’t know it.) If there are comments, click on the “conments” link to read them.

Note that comments won’t automatically be posted to the blog. I have to apprpove them first. Why? Well, partly to screen abusive nonsense. But I don’t expect to see any of that. What I do expect is spam. It shows up in comments on my book site. So to save us all from graphic ads for porn sites, no comment gets posted until I approve it.

The future of classical music

Before the crisis

Yes, the classical music crisis, which some don't believe in, and others think has been going on forever. This is the third post in a series. In the first, I asked, innocently enough, how long the classical music crisis (which is so widely talked … [Read More...]

Four keys to the future
