amazed by one small paragragh, which makes perfect sense.
"Taste is, after all, a matter of will, of moral and social decisions. To take
a famous example from the modernist tradition in literature, we are assured
that Joyce's Ulysses is a difficult masterpiece, and we try it, determined to
prove our culture superiority by our appreciation. After the initial

发帖数: 123 | 2 Charles Rosen 和 Adorno 之间的差距很大。Adorno 常有让人耳目一新的言论，现在人
们对mahler 的很多观点受他的印象很大。以前人们对 Mahler 7 的最后一个乐章持肯定
态度，而今人们转而吹捧中间的三个乐章。 Adorno的分析是，和 Nietzsche类似，
Mahler 善于表现悲观，压抑，绝望，一旦他要歌颂的时候就显得苍白无力。
Rosen 则没有太多有新意的东西，对已经树立起来的权威，他从技术角度加以极力捍卫。
任何试图从其它角度理解权威的努力，都被他认为不够严肃；忽略了，或者说没有认识到
权威的伟大之处。譬如，Beethoven 有如此大名，难道原因只在他的音乐里面吗？其实，
从 Rosen 的书里看得出他对很多问题的见解很清醒，但这都不能动摇他保卫权威的立场
。他是如何过渡的，总让我摸不着头脑。
