Classical music is only "elevated" by its association with wealthy and powerful patronage such as the RCC and royalty. It's not special (beyond the virtue of allowing its composers to hole up in ivory towers, which is mostly insignificant), and it's been appropriated and commodified, especially as a political tool, much more so than popular music (i.e. mass produced folk music).

There's a lot of excellent classical music, but placing the entire genre "above" the rest of music only reveals a subconscious authoritarian fetishism in the person doing so.

There's nothing "purely abstract" about an art form that depends greatly on the biology of the human ear. The ear is a limited resolution frequency domain sensor, and consonance and dissonance depends mostly on the uncertainty of the measurements of this sensor. Helmholtz figured this shit out in the 19th century. Don't believe the mystical Pythagorean bullshit. It's just an artifact of an arbitrary product of evolution. See Sethares' work for details.

No, it's bad and destroys the sound. The soul is taken out of it, as a great marker of a master musician is the way in which he controls the natural noise (and non-mechanical aspects) of the instruments. There is almost a second form of time which he controls, and overproduction wipes this from the recording.
The ideal recording is a slightly cleaned up version of a live performance, and this gives us the feeling of isolation we feel within such a setting.

"Our music was once divided into its proper forms...It was not permitted to exchange the melodic styles of these established forms and others. Knowledge and informed judgment penalized disobedience. There were no whistles, unmusical mob-noises, or clapping for applause. The rule was to listen silently and learn; boys, teachers, and the crowd were kept in order by threat of the stick. . . . But later, an unmusical anarchy was led by poets who had natural talent, but were ignorant of the laws of music...Through foolishness they deceived themselves into thinking that there was no right or wrong way in music, that it was to be judged good or bad by the pleasure it gave. By their works and their theories they infected the masses with the presumption to think themselves adequate judges. So our theatres, once silent, grew vocal, and aristocracy of music gave way to a pernicious theatrocracy...the criterion was not music, but a reputation for promiscuous cleverness and a spirit of law-breaking." -- Plato layin down the law in like 1000000 bc

>with wealthy and powerful patronage such as the RCC and royalty
Not really the case with many, many classical composers, many of which were poor and died poor. It's true that the "classical" (speaking period-wise, here) era had many wealthy patrons, but that isn't the reason why it's elevated. There's nothing that stops classical music from being commodified, as even the most complex composers wrote compositions that are appealing to masses, but the differences between art and pop music lie in their depths. Popular music is extremely homogeneous and very unfortunately absent in heterophony and polyphony, you will find the most rigid adherence to conservative music forms (especially strophic forms) amongst them. It does not seem capable of evolving past its archaic style, and, even in that context, it fails to even stand to the predecessors it borrows so much from.

I always found it interesting how Adorno claimed Beethoven was Hegelian philosophy in music, but more true because it manages to reconcile the particular with the totality in ways Hegel's thought can't.

Equal temperament was standard well before 1917, and there is no standard unequal tuning method so there can be no standard feeling for any key. This list is 100% bullshit.

>If one comes to England or even America, [Sibelius]’s name begins to grow into the infathomable. He is named as often as a car brand’s. Radio and concert resound with the sounds of Finland. Toscanini’s programs are open to Sibelius. [...]His music is in a certain sense the only 'subversive' [music] from these days. But not in the sense of destroying the corrupt existing order, but in a Caliban-like destruction of all musical results of the dominion over nature that mankind acquired at high price from using the tempered scale. If Sibelius is good, then the standards of musical quality as richness of relationships, articulation, unity in manifoldness, diversity in oneness, which perennate from Bach to Schoenberg, are obsolete. All this is betrayed by Sibelius to a nature which isn’t natural, but rather a shabby photography of his parents' home. He has his part in the wearing-out in art music, even though he is easily bested by industrial light music. But in his symphonies such destruction is masked as creation. Its effect is dangerous.

It's an extremely repetitive formula. One which kinda loses its novelty entirely once you realize how it's done. Sure, there's effort, but effort doesn't equal worthwhile content.

>>11792829
Well, yes, though I do think that Schoenberg himself is a bit to blame for that, as he could be quite outspoken in his youth and certainly said some things with revolutionary undertones. But, indeed, he was a romantic / classicist at heart -- all of the SVS were to some degree, and Schoenberg's efforts were really just trying to make sense of the late romantic era, which could be quite meandering and tonally ambiguous to the point of completely losing one's self. He brought back structure and form in a shattered post-Wagnerian musical world, a return to tradition.

Not at all, exempting his very earliest works. Romanticism is the gradual process of disintegration of form and more concrete musical elements (a sort of populism), Schönberg returns to transcendental formal music without the tendency towards mechanization as one can detect in most post-war composer.

False.
And it's simplistic because it's limited to an off-sounding, small set of notes whereas the notes of much of the music of the world are expansive and infinitely more subtle, in some cases, they're best considered as continuous than discrete. Modern Western aristocratic music ruined present-day music by rendering it bland and cultureless, and deceiving themselves into thinking their music is the only real music, the rest is non-music. Infantile. One of the many degenerations of today.
