The last time I went to a concert of atonal music it was in a theatre loft and I think I saw about three people (out of a hundred+) that looked like they had spent any time in an academic circle.

The next one I'm going to is in a symphony hall

How much did they pay for the tickets?

Maybe we should have a poll for those who write tonal music? Poll: Those who write tonal music do so because they are copping out, lack imagination, and can only do style copies? Yes of course

Why is this still a topic of debate? Atonal music is literally almost 100 years old. In the professional music world this debate is pretty much only kept alive by jaded composers who feel slated some

This is such a loaded question, with obviously biased answer choices

How much did they pay for the tickets?

First one $15

Second one $30-$100ish depending on where you're sitting (don't know how full it will be though)

Chamber music concerts are significantly cheaper to put on, so they probably did ok with just a hundred tickets sold (minus comps for family/friends/the composers, presumably). Symphony concert will probably make a loss but symphony concerts always make a loss unless they sell out the entire hall which isn't so common nowadays.

To answer the original question: No. Just no... None of that makes any sense.

I wish we could remove some of these buzz words from our terminology... atonalism... tonalism... shades of gray, man! Like the Tokkemon said: Writing GOOD music that people like is hard. Who cares what style it's in.

If you can make somebody like your music (meaning they were affected in some way that was positive), then you have succeeded in my book. End of story, for me anyway.
