Re: Help needed



1 No. Other cultures have other means of expression
2 No. ET has ruined music, as it obliterated all differences between
keys
If you hear one piece performed on an ET organ, and you hear it on a
mean-tone tuned organ, you will prefer the mean-tone. It has pure
intervals and sounds much more relaxed
3 The nicest comment and the most applicable one I heard on renaissance
motets, I heard is 'this music heals'. And it does! (Provided you don't
listen to it too often)
6 Monteverdi L'Orfeo Mozart Le Nozze di Figaro, Puccini Tosca
(Callas/Gobbi performance)
7 Le Nozze di Figaro
8 They should be sung in the original language.(and opera vocabulary is
small). I have objections against opera as a spectator sport.
10 Not being able to study the music I love in a paid profession (I am
a musicologist who ended up in ICT)
