Jazz is a musical art form with African and Western European colonial roots, which dates back to the 19th century. The birth of jazz can also be traced back to the segregation laws of 1894. These laws brought together two polar populations and musical subcultures, creating a fusion of upper-class Creole classical influences and the cathartic “blues notes” sung and played by poor, uneducated black Americans who were enduring hardship in the south. While jazz is often known for its mixture of simple and complex rhythms and beats, it is most celebrated for its’ improvisational quality.

GEORGE GERSHWIN called “Porgy and Bess” a “folk opera,” emphasis on opera, and lived to see the premiere, on Broadway, in truncated but substantially operatic form. At that time the piece was sung virtually all the way through, but the version that traveled the world after Gershwin’s death, in 1937, was effectively a musical comedy, with spoken scenes framing musical numbers that — apart from “Summertime” — were invariably performed much too fast.
Scientists began speculating about what really killed Ludwig van Beethoven almost as soon as he was buried in 1827. He had complained of a “wretched existence,” with a long list of symptoms: abdominal pain, digestive trouble, colic, chronic bronchitis, foul body odors and extremely bad breath. And of course there was the hearing problem.
For months now, the acclaimed soprano Renée Fleming, her recording company and her public relations agency have been working hard to make one thing clear: “Dark Hope,” her new Decca recording of indie rock songs, is not a crossover project. 
Like anyone involved in the opera world, I’ve done my time trying to explain to bemused friends and strangers what precisely is the point of it all. Ever since I was seduced by it, I’ve been as much of an evangelist as any convert. I’ve been writing about opera for about a decade now, and over the years, as I’ve watched one companion after another’s eyes glaze over, or close gently, during a show, I have begun to wonder: what if I’m wrong about this? What if it actually is all rubbish, self-indulgent, glittery, adolescent, incontinent, with a vastly inflated view of its own importance? Can opera ever be more than a diversion for people with too much money and too little taste? And was it ever intended to be, anyway? 
Tom Hutchinson started moving pianos when he was just out of college. He’s climbed rotting staircases, suffered bruises and bashed fingers, and delivered everything from beat-up boxes to Baldwins, Steinways and a gilt-trimmed 1840s Erard. 
The season for music festivals is about to kick off, with seemingly more people going than ever before. But what does your choice of festival say about you? 
Composer David Cope has a knack for describing music in the least romantic terms possible. Whenever Mozart heard something, Cope says, “He was able to digest it and store it in his database. He could recombine it with other things so that the output would be hardly recognizable.” Mozart has been called many things—plagiarist, potty-mouth, politician—but rarely do you hear him accused of being a computer scientist. 
BAYREUTH, Germany — There is a general and mostly well-founded perception of the Bayreuth Festival as an elitist stronghold for opera, as much a shrine to Wagner as a festival of his works. And there is no ticket harder to come by. Wagner-lovers wait an average of 10 years to get a coveted ticket to the Festspielhaus, which seats only about 2,000. 
Long before a narrow Georgian home in London became the Handel House Museum, a steady stream of pilgrims came to the building in search of the other giant of music who lived there: Jimi Hendrix.
