you still hear people talking to you and you can also hear the music, so it's perfect. earplugs are the future or concerts and entertainment.

No I think it'S better when people talk over the music. it's less 'gay' and religious. and it forces composers to make music that's truly good and that will catch people's attention (then they're going to scream over it you'll say..). well you can always amplify the music if you don't hear it. If the overall result is too loud you can wear earplugs which makes the experience really enjoyable I think. you're like in a kind of psychedelic world but you still hear people talking to you and

I was with you 'til you said it was Jazz. It ain't. I'd agree with the motion here that it would be better if the conductor was replaced with somebody keeping the eighth note pulse, but it is still enjoyable.

i'm sure there is somebody who could help you, but i'm gonna tell you to go and do your own assignments. you'll be better for it.

Personally I don't see a problem with conducting for timesake but it shouldsn't be cued--it gives me the sense that this performance was planned which I do not agree with.

it's a little annoying to hear all the noise of people talking in the background. If I were there I would be shushing people :P

Conducting this piece totally defies the purpose of "in C". It is meant to be a group process with spontaneous interaction between the players, an improvisation with fixed motifs. I see that the conducter even gives cues, which, sorry, makes it a travesty.

BlueCougar (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

It's not supposed to be conducted as Jazz is not supposed to be conducted. It's a group process, with emphasis on spontaneous interactions between the players. there is nothing to "conduct" in this piece, as it's basically an improvisation with fixed material. A conductor makes this piece look academic. If you got the piano quarter or eighth pulse, everyone keeps on time.
