From that perspective, her work strikes me as so meaningful and even subversive, in a way that Liszt's just can't be. It has tremendous extramusical meaning.

Keeping the faculty lines free from specialists with extramusical knowledge ensures that the dept can continue to center Western European art music, without the fear of internal critique from colleagues whose work challenges the canon.

La mejor tagline para defender el disco 😂
Además es que Shirley Manson fue y es hipnótica, menudo ejemplo (también en lo extramusical)

I think Kendrick may have single-handedly turned A-minor into an extramusical term, although one with a completely different connotation from its use in music

En 2003 empezó un declibe del techno hacia el minimal espantoso, lento y doloroso. Para 2008, cuando estalló toda la crisis del mundo extramusical, ya no quedaban ni las cenizas.
No volvió a rebrotar hasta 2011.

A mí en mayor o menor medida sí me gustan sus discos, aunque creo que ahora mismo lo de estar a favor o en contra de Rosalía ya es un tema extramusical. 😅

Hector #Berlioz 1803-1869
Pionero de la música programática sinfónica, usando la idea fija y una orquestación innovadora para evocar emociones y narrativas. Tradición francesa e influencia germánica. Fusionaba música y literatura para crear piezas con significado extramusical.

Thank you, Hilary! I, too, have a day job, and it has dramatically improved my mental and physical health. There is no shame in an extramusical job to keep you stable.

my hot take: the "musical–extramusical distinction" has little to do w/(social) power and more with the fact that "musical autonomy" isn't a problem if you don't think transcendent concepts + think ab "autonomy" as immanent to what it supposedly "suppresses" (i.e., narrative, subjectivity, meaning).

▶️ todos sus recursos a poner en valor también a la persona y su legado extramusical. Faltan cosas y está algo obsoleto (se rodó antes de su repentina muerte), pero el alegato es tremendo. Ojalá sea esta la Sinéad que todos recordemos con el tiempo.

I'm torn between "That's bananas" and "Yeah, I can see it." His solo stuff had some of the highest highs of any of Beatle solo projects, but also the lowest lows. That said, he probably has the largest extramusical cultural footprint of any of them via his film production company.

That NME review of Eat To The Beat is as full of characteristically patronising latent misogyny as anything in the alleged golden age of the UK music press. It isn't a great album for various extramusical reasons but here be my somewhat more considered views:

But also I gently suggested that maybe there are extramusical factors that are influencing them 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you don't mind this guy's voice, and the fact that he occasionally raps badly, and the incredibly dated production, and the extramusical baggage, there are pleasures to be had here, certainly
