    I agree but I think its weird some people are attached to old classical music composers. There is newer better stuff or even classical variants like you would hear in Bridgerton. Its painful watching kids playing those horrible scores at competitions just cause its traditional and expected.

    Side note: 100% certain it was the songs cause after events I go to yt to check pros play them and it was still awful.

        Yes I but i think its gatekeeping and pretentious. The elites just use old classical as their thing.

          Opera was originally art for the masses. I get the thing about everyone thinking its elitest but i was brought up by 2 generations of working class people who loved opera and classical music. Worked at the Derby Playhouse, its just elitist because its in movies and stuff a lot

            Oh that’s interesting. didn’t know that. I figured it was expensive since it “needed” and opera house so it was elitist because of pricing. Maybe it just became that way like you said.

          100% there’s a culture of gatekeeping and elitism all too common around classical music - but it’s not the music’s fault

            Well I spoke to several music enthusiasts irl and we cant tell why anyone would play those ancient scores other than its technically difficult. It doesn’t sound good.
