#45 Carl Dahlhaus

I feel that Carl Dahlhaus was an innovative thinker when organizing music within the 20th century. The idea that music is not a singular term is an idea that displays an "out of the box" theory. I agree with the idea that since that there are many different cultures there isnt a singular music, however several musics. I feel that this idea would be developed in the 20th century because of the advancement of technology. Dalhaus's example that a pop song does not belong with a 12 tone composition proves his idea that there should be several musics. I agree with Dalhaus that there are several types of cultural music, however I don't feel that there should be several musics. I feel that this would just cause confusion.
