I read a thought provoking quote by one of our most well respected members, cash68, that stated
Quote:
Just thought this quote was deserving of its own topic. A statement of merit? Or perhaps just misguided?
Now I am hardly qualified to comment, being a piano performance major at the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (I mean sheesh, I would like an expert to weigh in here), but in my opinion, while the two are related in that they are both music, the two have very little to do with one another, especially in structure.
What is your opinion?
Now, since I have obviously have no experience in these matters, can somebody show me what techno music has in common with a specific peice of classical repretoire, going measure by measure, in terms of harmonic structure, the periods and antecedents, the cadences, etc? Especially enlightening would be anything regarding "incredible building and crescendo abilities" and anything relating to a use of a "chorus"....
Can someone help inform me here?

Techno/electronic dance music is actually pretty similar to classical music in construction, it's use of a chorus, and it's incredible building and crescendo abilities. ] |
