THE LAST BALCONY (www.nemonymous.com)
Just discovered these old sites:
Raw Nemonymous meanderings in early 2001
Initial reactions to Nemonymous Part One in late 2001
*********
Ranging from Bach's cello suites, via, Beethoven's Late Quartets, to the muscular dincopations (my word) of 20th century classical music (with many byways between), I feel that 'classical' music is like fiction injected straight into the vein.
My own definition of classical music is shown below(music being something about which I am more passionate than writing editing reading...), though I am musically illiterate as far as its technicalities are concerned:-
A formless area (defaulting towards an aspirationally cultural & predominantly exact art form) within the universal, uncompartmentalised, wholly accessible language of sound commonly known as music: encouraging spirituality and/or various permutations of all human emotions -- centring on and radiating from the serious deployment of an ostensibly organised pattern of acoustic sounds as produced by orchestral instruments and voices (performed normally by established or qualified interpreters/musicians, from one to very many). The question of taste and the unknowable relativities of disharmony and harmony are no part of this description, because such affective considerations differ from individual to individual. I shall tailgate any preconceptions...

denemonisations, mnemonics, anemones, Bournemouth, nemoralis, Mnemosyne...
Chasing the nemonon... any more?
