#42 Leonard B. Meyer

I thought the ideas of Meyer were interesting because of his connection with the adaptation of stylistic music. I agree with his idea that music will change inevitably change. I feel that he believes that music is always adapting to its surroundings. His theory of "postmodern" was well developed, however it wasn't made famous until his book Music, the Arts, and Ideas. He feels that while there will be new methods and directions in the world of music these new developments will not alter the existing styles. I agree with this thought for many reasons. An example would be the guitar and the use of distortion. You can compose a song, however the only difference will be the sound that the guitar produces.
