 All you have to do is look at a book called '''World's Dictionary Of Music And Musicians.'''

It's connected to ... how well they pleased the patron that was paying ... And it's the same thing today. So all the norms, all the acceptable norms of classical music are really the taste norms of the Church, the king or the dictator that has been paying for them. It was not the taste of the people. People had no choice about it.<br>
 So when you say that I am interested in ''serious music ...'' I take my work seriously, but I perceive it as ''entertainment.''

I don't write for a church, I don't write for a king, I don't write for a government, I write for my friends and that's the way the material should be perceived. It's ''entertainment'' for them.<br>

-Let me explainto you about ''serious music.'' What most people regard as ''serious music'' is not that serious at all. There has been a lot of propaganda about classical music since it was first invented. Let's exmine the history of classical music briefly. All the music that people regard ''as great masterpieces'' today was writen for the amusement of kings, churches or dictators. If the man who wrote the music happened to be working in a style that was appealing to the person at that time, he had a hit, he had a job, he stayed alive. If he didn't, he could loose his fingers, he could loose his head, he could be exiled or starved to death. There was very little in between.<br>
