- What is Music Analysis, and why do you need it?
Anyone starting a higher education course in music might be forgiven for puzzling over what music analysis actually is. In this video, Dan explains the difference between music theory and music analysis, and why music analysis is of such vital importance.
Key texts from this video:
Theodor Adorno (trans. Max Paddison), 'On the Problem of Music Analysis', Music Analysis, Vol .1, no. 2 (1982) 169-187.

Music also has sinister uses such as social engineering -- look at how the Beatles, Rolling Stones and other 1960s icons changed culture with their styles based on their music, and not for the better. Why was it known in advance that 1950s rock and roll, even from its early beginnings, would not last long? Because the 60s and onwards were what was aimed at by the social engineers of the Tavistock Institute and Frankfurt School of Cultural Marxism. Feminism and sexual liberation, which have led to societal breakdown (for political divide and rule) and are the precursors to today's gender dysphoria, could not have happened without the cultural changes originating in 60s music and styles (which were led into by 50s music and styles).
Think Theo Adorno. He worked for the Frankfurt School and it has even been said that he wrote all the early Beatles numbers. (See the Committee of 300 by Dr John Coleman.) How comes the very early Beatles, playing in dinghy Hamburg basement clubs, didn't write their own songs, when they happened to turn out very prolific writers only a couple of years later? How come no one remembers seeing them play in one of these clubs if they were so talented? Serious question marks. But they take me straight back to my original point: the sinister use of music by social engineers. I hope the presenter of these vids is interested in addressing it.
I'm not from a music background and only viewed this video out of a more general interest in the subject which came up today. I will add, this video is a good presentation of the subject.
