An Upbeat! An Upbeat!

Undergrad musician and aspiring musicologist. I created this blog to collect inspiration and thoughts about music. I'm going to post whatever is on my mind. Currently: my upcoming recital and as always post-modernism.

I thought it was terrifically funny. Beethoven was a lesbian—let’s twist this thing around! If we’re out of the camp, then let’s turn it around. I mean, who’s going to prove that he wasn’t?

Rather than protecting music as a sublimely meaningless activity that has managed to escape social signification, I insist on treating it as a medium that participates in social formation by influencing the ways we perceive our feelings, our bodies, our desires, our very subjectivities—even if it does so surreptitiously, without most of us knowing how. It is too important a cultural force to be shrouded by mystified notions of Romantic transcendence.

Loving that tag, Jon!
