Is classical music DIFFICULT?
MTT & SFS lay emphasis on this problem and wrestle with it.
What kind of action is it?
Problem１: People have difficult images about classical music.
They picked it up at the launch of the KEEPINNG SCORE series. Their message is as follows:
Every art is concerned with how people feel their own lives. Classical music is tied to human essence such as life or emotion, so it is familiar with everyone.
They sent this message by the method of simplifying Tchaikovsky’s fourth symphony.
Problem2： People can’t understand classical music.
MTT & SFS show people ideas and hints to understand and enjoy listening to classical music. Every effort which they have made is for them last.
Then what are ideas and hints?
I think for example, music materials, composer’s intension, a historical background, relation to past and future pieces.
Contents of pre-concert talk, themes of family concerts and the series of last autumn of KEEPING SCORE are all about them.
Then is it effective?
My answer is Yes. Because I had not listened to music of Copland, nevertheless I had felt clear about his music when I listened to Copland’s clarinet concerto after watching KEEPING SCORE. If many people feel clear like me in Beethoven or Stravinsky, I think it is a spectacular effect.
Problem3： People don’t know how to choose classical music.
There are too much pieces, and it is a cause to let people feel difficult to choose.
SFS classifies classical music in “Concert Concierge”. There a customer can choose music by having a viewpoint of MOOD, PERFORMER and PERIOD. It helps classical music to be more accessible to people.
