I’m really excited to see that my previous post has generated some interesting conversation in the comments threads. Scroll down or click here<\/a> to read the original post and check out the comments, some of which I have replied to. The one point I wanted to re-iterate here is that I don’t<\/em> think composers should put music on their website without getting permission. My primary concern here is for educational purposes. The other stuff – putting it online, promotions, etc., \u2014\u00a0all of that is a totally different issue.<\/p>\n

And now, I want to talk about that issue just for a hot second. Real talk: the internet has made contemporary classical music in live performance exciting. People get excited for a new Ad\u00e8s or Reich piece; the orchestras are all up on twitter and facebook bigging it up, sometimes the composers are there too. This is, I think, a good thing. However, what it has done is call into question the amount of time between a premiere and when a recording is available. I’m thinking, specifically, about Ad\u00e8s’s Tevot<\/em> and Reich’s Double Sextet<\/em>. Carnegie was all excited about all these things, we all went to them live, and it would have been nice, I would argue, to have been able to get a recording of those pieces at that time.<\/p>\n

Real talk: it’s bootleg recordings of these pieces. Real talk: I still bought the commercial recording. However, I was more excited about the bootleg DubSex because I was still buzzing from the performance I heard. That’s the thing: all the social media is great for orchestras to get people in the hall; I think we’re seeing that working very well. If the recording biz could get involved earlier, we’d be in really good shape.<\/p>\n

I am also pleased that my post<\/a> from a few days ago has, in fact, caused the Sequenza21 spam to stop. It’s really for their own good: if your twitter feed is caught in a feedback loop, you lose followers and people find it harder to separate content from noise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
