It's funny that a musically retarded jerk is mocking what I said about the composer's set, notated tempo being important in their instructions of how their music is to be played. As if he knows more than the composer, as if any performer who performs a composer's piece knows more about how it's supposed to sound than the person who wrote it. When a composer goes to the bother of saying how fast their music should be, it's obviously important to them and any deviation from their music is a distortion of their stated intentions.*
It's especially funny considering how the pop records of crap that are easily 99% of what music is to the idiot never vary in their speed, assuming the play-back isn't as defective as his knowledge of music.
* When a composer doesn't give a set tempo in the period after the means of doing that was invented, either by pendulums or metronomes or other relatively accurate conventions, that's a different matter and also the composer's choice. It's a question of following the composer's choice when they made a choice. If you don't like that, don't play their music.
Update: And to prove my point, the eejit Teaneck is using an ancient, whiny bit of forgettable tripe by Mick and his old stones to insult me over this post. What's funny about that is that the one time I heard it I seem to recall the lyrics said something about him thinking he should be put out of his misery. Yeah, I can get on board with that.
Should I say "Mopheads"?
