Pierre Fournier
I'm a goodcellist. I don't like listening to classical music. It makes me upset. Is this normal?
People tell me that I have a unique sound and love listening to me and they assume I'm always listening to music by Pierre Fournier or Piatigorsky but I only listen to something once and the style is easy to make my own. Listening assignments are hard to do for me because I get upset when I listen to any classical music or the cell by itself. It's like an inner rage. What is this? Do any of the other musicians out there get this feeling too?
Honestly, we don't know how good you are just because someone said you were good. Give us a recording to go by and we can judge that.
Many classical musicians don't like listening to classical all that much, but do on occassion. If you don't like to you may be in the wrong field. Part of being a musician is loving the music you play. Not necessarily listening to it 24/7. I have a huge mix of genres I listen to. The inner rage is...I have no idea. Could be a number of things. Maybe you wanting to be as good as the people you hear and knowing you're not. Maybe not liking the performance. Maybe you have a thought stuck in your head about classical music that taints every listening you have. Maybe you don't like certain periods or performances or recordings.
But if you can't LISTEN, thats a huge detriment to your education. Listening to other performances and players really enhances your own musical knowledge, interpretation ability, etc.
I occassionally get pissed off when I hear a bad performance that is acclaimed. I heard a performance by the Chicago Symphony (Russian Eastern Ouverture, Rimsky-Korsakov) the other day on the radio and I was so pissed off because it was AWFUL (at least for them). The entire string section was just...off.
You could just force yourself to listen and think about technical aspects. Get your emotions out of your thoughts. Give yourself a punch list. Listen, for example, to the texture, range of dynamics and phrasing. It takes a certain level of maturity to extricate emotions from thoughts. I still have trouble doing it (but I'm still young, 23).
Good luck.
