Classical Music Editor’s Frustration
Like Howard the Duck, I am trapped in a world I never made.
It’s frustrating to have people who don’t know classical music edit your classical music articles – hence, a sentence like “The repertoire on tomorrow’s program encompasses art music from the Renaissance to the present day, along with settings of an Aboriginal creation myth and an Iroquois peyote song” gets changed to “The repertoire on tomorrow’s program encompasses art music from the Renaissance to the present day, along with PIECES SET IN an aboriginal creation myth and an Iroquois peyote song” – but at least, as far as I can see, the entire article ran this week. I just hate being made to sound like an idiot.
