Anti-noise law for Classical Music

[methodistgirl]

That sounds like a good idea.

There is no need for a law on this in my opinion. I do know, however, that hearing loss is a common thing for players in a symphony orchestra, and it's of course not a good thing to lose good players due to this. But what's needed is a change of attitude with the conductors; it can't be necessary to practice the fff all the time. Show then how your fff works a few times each rehearsal, and then put the volume a bit down. It's not fair that the conductors risk the members hearing due to their desires for the music. Practicing fff (when needed) all the time could be necessary with amateurs; but the folks in question are dedicated professionals who, like the conductors, aim for perfection. They don't need to show that they can play the conductor's fff all the time,
let them play a bit softer ocasionally to save their hearing.
But transfering the factory workers noise levels to the music is absolutely insane...

Hmm, methinks there's an idea for a new thread here for the pipe organ board (if there isn't one there like it already that is)- the most bombastic pieces for organ. Anyone interested in starting that off?
