You didn`t know the sad life of the Classical Music in Brazil!!! The radios and tvs only play porno-song for children in the "industrialized" brazilian folk-pop rhythms (samba, frevo etc.). The students of the schools music play keyboard. The students of piano, violino, flute and orchestral instruments are rarefying. The orchestras are in quasi-bankrupt. Sunday I went to the bigsupermarket in my town (1 million of peoples). I was in cds section. Hits of Mozart, Chaikovsky etc. was in $ 2,50 - nobody bought; but the porno pop music was in $ 7,50 - there was one line to buy. Here the situation is very for those that compose, play, teach and research classical music, and good pop music (bossa nova, jazz, and folk-ethnical music). Edson Tadeu Ortolan [log in to unmask]
