tiare Apr 18, 2013 - 18:39 | Elliot Smith was a musical god, if troubled, and so it was. Sad that he is gone, still his music lives on and perhaps so, we are blessed to have known his essence at all. |

Johnny-smooth Jan 14, 2013 - 14:46 | Geez how I love this guy's music. Breaks my heart to know that what we have today is all that he'll ever produced. |
jimmpypowder Jan 14, 2013 - 14:43 | One of the most underrated musicians over the last 20 years or so RIP. |

Barzun was America's greatest commentator on culture and a fierce critic. In the 1950s he was on the cover of Time for this reason (those were the days). He theorized on music among many other things. In his magnum opus From Dawn to Decadence, I learned from Barzun that theory always comes after the creation of great art. In other words, and here is my own personal take on this, a great musician does not learn a music theory and then go out and create based on what they have learned from other musicians. That kind of thing is for second-rate talents. The great ones change the rules of the game entirely and do what has never been done before, then the new theories will follow after. |
