And there is a very good reason for this, it's because they sell and because it appeals to readers. It takes them away of the text-book nonfiction book. It promises to deliver philosophy along with "how to" in the work. This is very appealing to those who want to really learn. Cheerio Hi Benzo8,
I know what you mean, There are many books, some best sellers that use “The Art of” in their titles. And there is a very good reason for this, it’s because they sell and because it appeals to readers. It takes them away of the text-book nonfiction book. It promises to deliver philosophy along with “how to” in the work. This is very appealing to those who want to really learn.
Cheerio

]]> Comment on A (Much Needed) Update… by john http://www.benzo8.org/2010/10/12/a-much-need-update/#comment-481 john Wed, 13 Oct 2010 08:40:05 +0000 http://www.benzo8.org/?p=161#comment-481 Thanks Paul. I guess the difference between 5/4 and 2x6/8+2/4 is where the stresses fall naturally. I know in this day and age of sequencers and velocity that it's old-fashioned (and not strictly necessary) to think about time signatures at all, and that you can score for syncopation anyhow, but I learned with a pen and paper and old habits die hard!
