You are, of course, perfectly entitled to your opinion, as I am to
mine, but I do believe that through most of the 20th century that
has been the attitude in university composition departments--some,
of course, probably not all, but according to the stories told by
folks on Orchestralist some of the most prestigious.
you believe, or it is fact?
if you are going to speak only from the perspective of specific
academic environments in a specific country in which you have worked
and back it up with real facts, well, i can't argue against it. but
your "opinions" come off as slanderous comments based in nothing but
heresy.
and it is not the "opinion" itself i am concerned with, it is the way
it is worded, as if it is some universal truth. it's too simple a
comment to even begin to discuss the complexity of the situation
today. it's very easy to blow off meaningless comments about things
one knows nothing about.
--some, of course, probably not all, but according to the stories
told by folks on Orchestralist some of the most prestigious.
where are they teaching? do they go to concerts that fall outside
their departmental obligations? and more worrisome... are they
(still) teaching?
But if our small department is any measure
uh... should it be? for any reason? what about departments in other
cities? counties? states? or outside the USA for that matter?
