Breathe music....

a musical challenge would be to create an objectively good piece of music that in an ideal world everyone would appreciate, if not like.

But then there is no definition of good music, what is music to your ears maybe noise for me. Beauty of the music is in the ears of the listener. Also your definition of ideal world may not match with mine. But then this is what makes it interesting.

But making music that appeals to people is not a job for marketing. I mean there can be superbly good piece of music that purists will like and appreciate but if the common people cannot relate to it, appreciate it i will believe i have failed. These are just my viewpoints. This what i believe my playing should be. There should be something for everyone, a little bit complexity a little bit simplicity, just the right balance. There should be parts that purists will admire and then there will be something for the general public too. I am again saying that this is my approach towards music and i am just sharing it and in no way saying that the others are bad or they should have a similar approach.

Is there good music and bad music ?

melody and rhythm they both have different identities...one cannot be superior than the other ...well yes depends upon the song though...

well..everyone has their own opinion and should be respected.....hope u all r doin well ...
There is a small request to all who has different opinion about greater or lesser than / rhythm/music.>>>>all about .lol
I am staying at Mumbai and have been playing tabla for last 15 years...I play congo and drums too but not in a professional sense..
I am looking forward to people who play instrument and keen in jamming together and satisfying one's soul...
kindly post your views on it..no offense while posting anything from my side..regards to all..

There should be no argument in this matter. How can you separate the two? It's like the soul and body and together it makes music, something like our existence. That's the part where Harmony comes in music. "Theory of Harmony" by Arnold Shoenberg both explains about that in easy details. Grab hold of this book.
