#41 Constant Lambert

Lambert's views are almost the complete opposite of Landowska. He believes that the music of the past shouldn't be superior to the music of the present. I think that he has a valid point that the composers don't create their own ideas they use altercations of other's pieces. However, I believe that each era has its own type of music regardless of composers favoring the songs of the past. He comes from the line of thinking that people who favor past music have a very modern attitude. However, I listen to music of the 1970s, such has Led Zeppelin and The Who, and I regard them as better music than that of the present age. While Lambert believes that composers don't pride themselves anymore, I feel that composers can still have original ideas and attach them to older pieces; however if this is done throughout ever composers pieces the effect will become lost.
