Are classical pianists essentially cover artists?
do not apply your rockist popular music philosophy to the western art tradition of music, you'll look like an ignoramus. but yes
>>64274575
haha yeah silly rockists, thinking you should actually make your own music
Jazz and Classical music are not like the other genres.

that's a very rockist thing to say though. attacking a pianist because he's never published any works of his own as if that invalidates his accomplishments as a musician. the music was written down so that it could be performed by others

Why Is Jazz always put on the same level as classical music?
Its something I don't understand. Music snobs lump Jazz and Classical together as the "superior" music as opposed to Popular music. Classical I understand- it has lasted all these years for a reason. But Jazz, I don't get it. Jazz has a lot more in common with Popular music- it just sounds like a bunch of musicians got together and can't decide on which song to play. Also, little emotion in Jazz.
I have nothing against Jazz musicians- I do agree it takes skill and all of that. But why is it considered an "elevated" form of music? This is true in most colleges and universities even- they have a Jazz Department. They do not have a Country and Western department. Its complete opposite of Classical music to my ears. I don't hate Jazz, to me its nice for background music at a coffee shop or bookstore, but to sit down and listen to it , no thanks!
In Classical there is more emotion usually, although I don't understand I-talian Operas very well. But I see why people respect Classical music as a higher level of music- and I don't take offense at that. But why Jazz?
>>64274527
yeah, but in the absolute best way possible
also this in general

if it wasn't for eurofags, jazz would still be considered some shitty music niggers played on the other side of the pond.

Why don't all these pianists come up with their own songs? Surely with their skills they should be able to write masterpieces and shit.
But no, gonna be a human metronome man. Gonna play the same fucking song that every other motherfucker out there is playing.

The same goes for classical music. Bach's work i.e. was played in churches. Everybody attended churches. So that means his music was actually popular music. Why the need to incarcerate his work from the people and say that you have to be some kind of highly intelligent being to understand his music? The fact is, those retarded academics pulled it of...
If it was to me all Fine Arts schools should fucking burn.
Art is for the people, not to be only appreciated by some.

no music is an "elevated form". Music is incredibly derivative or inspired by what comes before it. There's always the good and the bad. What happened to survive of the classical era was the good, but imagine how many bad composers must've written awful music and were forgotten with time.

Not really. Composing and performing are two different skills entirely.
