Oh please, enough with the pretension! I've been a regular
concert-goer for forty years, and my musical appreciation is certainly
a match for many musicians. OTOH, as a long-term audiophile, my sense
of the *fidelity* of a reproduced musical event is certainly more
acute than that of most of the professional musicians of my
acquaintance. In point of fact, musos are *notorious* for their poor
hi-fi rigs, since they are generally listening on a different plane.
Stewart. You have admitted earlier that you have no musical
training or qualifications, and from your derisory comments
regarding the works of Jean Sibelius, regarded by many as
the greatest composer of the C20th, it is clear that you have
a poor understanding of composition and classical form.
Your role, as a concert goer is purely passive.
With no formal training, it is fairly certain that your level of aural
perception is far below that of a professional musician.
Cordially,
Iain
