Description: Double reed weblog kept by professional oboist and educator Patricia Emerson Mitchell. Entries discuss repertoire, concerts and job openings in the oboe community.
my oboe teacher made me a special reed for playing Tchaikovsky #gottaloveher There is a creepy bloodlust to the doom-mongering of classical music, as though an autopsy were being conducted on a still-breathing body. What if each commentator decided, instead, to Google “young composer†or “new chamber ensemble†and write a compelling profile of a discovery? Why not interview members of the local orchestra and find out how real people make careers in a purportedly comatose industry? Why not talk to those graying audience members—contempt toward the elderly is a common theme in death-of-classical-music articles—and find out how their history of listening has improved their lives? Statistics provide firm answers, but not necessarily to the right questions. If the stakes are as high as the life and death of an art form, why not explore the question of why it might be the case by looking at the actual, lived experiences of those involved?
