Has the Bell tolled for good Music in America? BY TEET CARLE Walter Scharf is a man who is very much concerned with what people (the ultra-young) seemed destined to do to music. What Mr. Scharf, one of the world’s foremost composers, (popular enough to have registered nine Academy Award nominations for music achievements in motion pictures) is asking: “Is good music doomed in America?” This brilliant musician, whom this writer met recently at a luncheon, was “viewing with alarm” the future of music, as he sees it. He argues that there is serious danger to the future of good music because the young people of today are unwilling to devote the necessary time and energy to the study of difficult instruments and an understanding of the nuances of serious music.
