Sorry, I tried reading the original blog post but as non-english speaker I just have no idea what's it about. "Decolonization". Sorry, don't know what it is, or what cancel culture has with classical music.
I have no clue where from his "decolonization" quotes are coming from. Is that supposed to be the general attitude towards music in UK universities?
> Nineteenth-century musical works were the product of an imperial society. The classical musical canon must be decolonised.
This is what you'll find written in Introduction to Music textbook at most UK unis? No? What is it then?
I realize the author is writing his blog for his own audience. But this story of some hinted-at, vast struggle between him and cancel-culture in the field of musicology is totally unknown to me.
- drcongo 5y agoI came away feeling that this vast struggle is unknown to anyone but the author. He's made up a straw man to be mad at, and then cancelled himself like an hero.
