"As an empty concert hall does not sound right, the audience seems to be
a necessary thing"
A. Schönberg (quoted by Hans Bunge, "Fragen Sie mehr über Brecht: Hanns
Eisler im Gespräch" (Munich, Roger & Bernhard; 1970), p. 43
L.N. quoted
"-because the halls are full of people like you! s t u f f e d full!"
(p. 441)
"since the middle of the 19th century great music has broken with
concert
practise. the consequence of the musical progress has grown into
opposition to
the manipulated and, at the same time, self-satisfied needs of the
bourgeois
audience. the numerically narrow conoisseurship got substituted by all
those
who can pay a seat and want to prove their cultur to others. public
taste and
the quality of works fell apart."
(m.o.p.a.t. from adorno's "philosophie der neuen musik" [1949], p. 17)
