And in some cases - the contempt is replaced with respect and
curiosity for more of the same. Ah, education....sometimes it
actually pays off.
As a grad student (1970) I was once invited to give the final lecture
in the 2-semester undergraduate music history survey. One sudent was so
enthralled by the snippet of Stockhausen's _Hymnen_ that I played that
he went right out and bought the expensive, 2-LP set of the whole
thing. On the other hand another student--a trumpeter--was so enraged
at Partch's _Barstow_ that he transferred to Eastman--to this day I
can't figure out why; maybe it was the F word. Generally, students who
spoke to me afterwards said they were "fascinated," or thanked me for
explaining a repertoire they hadn't previously understood.
