If you saw an announcement for a concert of contemporary classical music and wondered what to expect, what is the difference compared to a regular classical concert, the answer is - almost everything!<\/p>\n
Some of the first associations of a classical music concert are mostly austerity, a formal performance of people dressed in black formal suits and dresses and listening silently to the music they perform without any conversation between songs. Such a concept of a concert was created a long time ago, just like the pieces that musicians play or sing on stage.<\/p>\n
However, if the repertoire includes compositions that were created today or a few decades earlier, there is a high probability that the musicians' discipline will be completely absent, because that is what is required of them by the works they are performing.<\/p>\n
How restrained could you call someone who riots\u00a0she taps her foot on the floor while playing the violin<\/strong>, or someone mumbling something or\u00a0he shouts while playing the harp<\/strong>? I think you would use a completely different term.<\/p>\n The same is true for a pianist who stands while playing and actually touches the strings of his instrument more than the frets, or for a clarinetist who little by little\u00a0he takes out his phone and plays some sounds from it<\/strong>. Yes, from the phone. And it is not rare that sounds created electronically are equal participants in the creation of contemporary classical music, so in addition to acoustic music, at the concert you can also hear\u00a0electronic<\/strong>, that is,\u00a0electro-acoustic music<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
