Unpopular Opinions

[some guy]

Well, if you put it that way....

Sounds very tempting!!

Looks like the show's over, until the next run.

Melody: the least important and most grossly over-rated element of classical music. Many erroneously think that melody is the first criterion that qualifies a work as popular and / or great.

That one is definately unpopular with me.

[some guy]

Hey! I'm WAY more unpopular than M. Croche, Mike.

Sheesh!!

[North Star]

Calm down - this isn't an unpopularity contest.

[Monsieur Croche]

Hey! I'm WAY more unpopular than M. Croche, Mike.

Sheesh!!

Oh, man, I abandon and "fire" another classical forum and then come here only to find more people concerned with contests and "winning?"

Sheesh, Louiiiise, already.

It's true. "Ass" is a separate creature from "horse."

[Karl Henning]

Any anise for an ass?

True. Shakespeare's Bottom was not translated into a horse.

I am tempted to say, why, what have you done? But I don't think I want you to tell me.

It seems the opinion [cough, cough ahem, fact] that film score music, OST or concert suite, is not actually classical music is pretty unpopular.

Really? I've only ever seen the UK's Classic FM file soundtracks to games and movies under 'Classical.' Everyone I know don't consider music written for films and games to be classical music.... And in CD shops, soundtracks get their own section separate from classical (usually a couple of aisles away)....are you sure about this M. Croche?

Have you told Shostakovich this fact?

[Monsieur Croche]

I've made it my habit to only speak to the living.

You should post this about this in the long (seemingly endless) discussion in the Star Wars thread about whether film music should be classified as classical music...
