You don't have to read the whole thing - just fastforward to the last few lines. The rest of it is for context.
CA r LOCO 6 9 (2:04:45 AM): many would argue that 'heart of darkness' is way more avant garde than schoenbergs pierott lunaire
CA r LOCO 6 9 (2:04:56 AM): would you agree?
CA r LOCO 6 9 (2:05:09 AM): music - we are just not trying hard enough

CA r LOCO 6 9 (2:05:11 AM): that was his point
CA r LOCO 6 9 (2:05:20 AM): the education in literature is all there
CA r LOCO 6 9 (2:05:24 AM): but music education is nowhere!
CA r LOCO 6 9 (2:05:28 AM): the public never receives it!
psykogeoff (2:05:29 AM): heart of darkness is more like a coda of a tchaikovsky symphony
CA r LOCO 6 9 (2:05:38 AM): everybody who graduates from high school knows who joseph conrad is
CA r LOCO 6 9 (2:05:42 AM): but few know who schoenberg is
CA r LOCO 6 9 (2:05:58 AM): music education is dead as dead
psykogeoff (2:05:59 AM): or wagner for that matter
CA r LOCO 6 9 (2:06:03 AM): yeah
CA r LOCO 6 9 (2:06:08 AM): THAT is what needs to change

CA r LOCO 6 9 (2:07:30 AM): about 20th century music
CA r LOCO 6 9 (2:07:49 AM): and he said, he still doens't really understand....the new avant garde shows on broadway are the talk of the town
CA r LOCO 6 9 (2:08:01 AM): the newest contemporary novels are always the best sellers on nybooks
CA r LOCO 6 9 (2:08:07 AM): like 'beloved'
CA r LOCO 6 9 (2:08:19 AM): however, with MUSIC, it's always about the latest performance of mahler 5
