She uses as an example Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, and its slow evolution in Western culture as an un-performable mess to one of the greatest works of all time. http://www.artistshousemusic.org/videos/why+cultural+context+matters+to+understanding+the+music+you+play#comment Teaching Playing Music Classical Music Education Music Schools Susan McClary UCLA Wed, 09 Jan 2008 20:21:40 -0800 Luke 9652 at http://www.artistshousemusic.org/videos/interpreting+music+as+a+performer Interpreting Music as a PerformerSusan McClary, Professor of Musicology at the University of California, Los Angeles, discusses the various ways that musicians approach interpreting music, and the outcomes that each approach can yield.

She also points out some less-desired effects of recording on music, for example, creating "definitive" performances that might discourage players from being as daring, or as relaxed, as they otherwise might be when interpreting a piece. http://www.artistshousemusic.org/videos/how+has+recording+technology+changed+how+people+experience+music#comment Playing Music Classical Music Schools Musicianship Recording Susan McClary UCLA Wed, 09 Jan 2008 20:24:48 -0800 Luke 9657 at http://www.artistshousemusic.org/videos/musicologist+susan+mcclary+on+writing+her+book+on+17th+century+western+music Musicologist Susan McClary on Writing Her Book on 17th Century Western MusicSusan McClary, Professor of Musicology at the University of California, Los Angeles, discusses the book she is writing on the history of music in 17th-century Europe.
