He also once gave me an impromptu clinic on articulation after I bombed an audition for the orchestra. It was most educational 10 minutes of my college career. But 2am grocery shopping is much more amusing. As a Rutgers grad who used to see the orch conductor do his grocery shopping at 2am, I’m shocked he didn’t know Jay-z too.

Pop music is more relevant to the masses than new music because its themes are more immediate and its medium more accessible. Not many pop musicians seem to effect the same type of mental gymnastics as new music musicians and when they do it's still delivered via a medium that more can identify with. Plus, there are lyrics. And hot chicks and bros. One thing I think about is relevance. Pop music is more relevant to the masses than new music because its themes are more immediate and its medium more accessible.

Contemporary classical music has its share of bad product, but we also already have a lot of good product, and the good product doesn't sell very well. The commercial success of Jay-Z and any other popular music is a confluence of talent/quality and marketing. If we already have talent/quality but we're still getting killed in the marketplace, then doesn't that mean that our problem is that we're terrible at marketing?
