In Reply to: Art and music: can non-intellectuals appreciate post-19th century music posted by tinear on March 11, 2011 at 10:59:41:
Ayn Rand observed, “Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads, armed with nothing but their own vision.”
I would add that most of them are presently unknown. The art of prior times that is known to us today is only a small portion of what was created. Art that fails to strike a responsive chord, or rise to some level of originality or interest, does not endure.
You state, and I agree, "It is very difficult, if not impossible, to like these works without some understanding of their inner workings, of the composers' intellectual pursuit."
In many cases one concludes that it is simply not worth the effort.
