While listening to Beethoven segment on “Classics for Kids” this morning, Captain Science remarked that he thought it was better to live in modern times. When I asked him why, he answered, “Because of rock music, instead of music that’s old and mushy.” He gestured at my laptop, where Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata was playing.
I asked him what he meant, and he said, “This music just isn’t a good fit for me. It’s too tight.”
Music appreciation seems to be turning into music criticism.
