response to the article "Is free improvisation in the end?" by Thomas Meyer
dissonance September 2010

The article presents itself as ominous Potpourri in vain I search for a deeper thought or a specific search.
The focus is very narrowly limited to a few events. The strange, is precisely the issue, free improvisation, a wide and extensive area.
Since the formative years of the late 50s and until now has been and is much discussed and written about.
And it takes place today and will be practiced in the future! The type of representation has, however, developed and changed. They are found just not necessarily at market-based and established events.
The poetry of free improvisation has it all: they are placed in front of the door, she comes through the window in again!

find the contribution to a number of inaccuracies which have free improvisers not well tolerated!

For example:
"The music alone is not understandable, they must be taught." Page 5 below

Music is a universal language that can be easily understood, if not rational in the way blocks.
The "mediation" with extra-musical means trying to take sand to the sea and is often unsatisfactory and therefore ungllücklich. Music does not need to be understood, but felt. An artist's statement does not fit onto a serving tray, and invites them to in-depth, feeling, perception and thought. And it is within the meaning of the Latin word "beautiful"! The challenge is reasonable for the listeners!

For example:
"There is evidence already interesting that the representation of the musical occurs in the background." Bottom of page 6

When characterizes the absence of sound phenomena is happening, we are in the "silence". Silence and theatrical gestures and seemingly non-musical acts we understand explicitly since Cage as a "representation of the musical", namely a central priority. These and more, are phenomena over time.

For example:
Klüppelholz Werner is quoted: "... the free improvisation is perhaps the highest art forms."
The writer reports this: ". Emphatically excessive helplessness" page 7

Klüppelholz's statement invites you to a more accurate and advanced thinking about it and deserves not such a despicable trial.
