[QUOTE="questor70, post: 1266700, member: 12560"] Classical music often does have repetition. But what it has that modern music lacks is DYNAMICS. There's a reason why Stairway to Heaven has the reputation it does (or its derivative, Bohemian Rhapsody). Because it has dynamics which is the essence of a story, a beginning, middle, (climax) and end. Dynamics alone can carry you along despite constant repeition, as Ravel proved. [MEDIA=youtube]5pgANtzO2G4[/MEDIA] Modern music has succumbed to the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war]loudness wars[/url], part of the overal cultural trend of MORE IS MORE which results in the law of diminishing returns. Grunge was the last genre that had actual dynamics, albeit extreme loud and quiet with abrupt transitions. [MEDIA=youtube]8-r-V0uK4u0[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
