musique dans le métro

JB tu exageres un peu la c'est pas ni plus mal ni plus mauvais que dab!

Ne vous inquietez pas pour JB, c'est une histoire perso entre Josh Bell et ...notre petit JB!

Sengugu????Non, il a toujours la parole... mais nous l'avons plusieurs fois rappelé à l'ordre et cela ne lui a sans doute pas plu.

Expérience personnelle du jeu dans le métro : des gens qui courrent sans même entendre ni voir mais aussi des gens intéressés qui restent plus d'un quart d'heure, qui demandent un morceau en particulier, des rencontres sympas, des sous et des heures passées à faire des rouleaux de pièces jaunes au fond d'un bistrot avant de partager avec les autres membres du quatuor ou de l'orchestre.

j'ai lu l'article en entier et je l'ai trouvé très intéressant.

Expérience perso de l'audition dans le métro : il y a des fois des trucs très sympas, c'est en discutant avec un violoniste que j'ai appris que le concerto pour 4 pianos de Bach était allègrement inspiré d'un concerto de Vivaldi ...

mais comme relevé dans l'article, on n'est pas toujours dans des conditions optimales pour l'écoute (souvent à la bourre); et personnellement, les orchestres sud-américains ou la 1563ème édition des 4 Saisons , heu ... non merci.

Quant à savoir si je tilterais et si je m'arrêterais écouter un grand musicien incognito ... j'espère, mais je n'en suis pas sûre!

Lorill et moi on a joué dans la rue...(à Mirecourt). La première personne qui s'est arrêtée....cherchait son chemin et nous a interrompu sans hésiter... c'est tout dire !

[Madame Irma]

Arrête, on vous a offert un café!!!
Moi, j'ai eu droit à un bouquet de fleurs des champs offert par un monsieur un peu bourré - vachement flatteur

[Madame Irma]

dans la discussion ICS, qqun vient de citer un article sur une ville américaine qui diffuse du Mozart dans les coins qui craignent pour en éloigner les vandales !

Classical music on West Palm corner deters crime

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A free concert of Mozart, Bach and Beethoven is being played 24 hours a day on a blighted street corner, not to enlighten the masses but to reduce crime.

Police say drug deals, shootings and thefts have dropped since the department mounted a set of speakers and a CD player on an abandoned building and started playing the music in April.

There also aren't as many loiterers, who used to number up to 200 on weekend nights on the residential corner in Rosemary Village near downtown.

The music, sort of a "greatest hits" compilation of the three composers' melodies from three CDs that are played in constant rotation, can be heard clearly up to a block away.

"Our main concern was, were we going to disturb some people with the noise," said West Palm Beach Assistant Police Chief Bob Van Reeth, who heads the community response division.

But resident Mamie Durham doesn't mind, and the neighborhood has improved. Her home is a block south of the speakers at Seventh Street and Tamarind Avenue and she can hear the music at night when the streets are quiet.

"If someone ever told me Tamarind would look like this I wouldn't believe them," said Durham, 80, a 60-year resident of the neighborhood. "I remember when you used to have to walk in the street because (loiterers would) be on the sidewalk. It's cleaned up."

Businesses have played music for years, choosing selections to attract a specific clientele or even to keep teen-agers from hanging out. But it wasn't until recently that police used the approach to keep troublemakers away from an area.

The troubled corner has been a problem for 15 years and police occasionally increased patrols in the area for weeks at a time.

Police Chief Ric Bradshaw demanded a permanent solution after a murder in the area in March. Two Pennsylvania men took a wrong turn and one was fatally shot.

Sgt. Ron Ghianda had learned at a seminar about music being used for nuisance abatement in Texas, and he and Sgt. Patrick Flannery decided to give it a try.

They spent less than $500 for a CD player and speakers. The department also installed better lighting and cut down trees that provided shade in the daytime.

"It's not practical to have a cop sitting there all day long," Ghianda said. "So what do you do? How do you change the scope of the neighborhood?"

Police chose classical music because they believed it would drive away people who didn't appreciate it and relax others enough that they would keep out of trouble.

West Palm Beach police don't know of any other Florida law enforcement agency playing music to deter crime, but several businesses and police in Fort Pierce and Delray Beach have called the department for information.

Recent statistics indicate crime is down on the corner. Drug-related calls dropped to four from February through June, compared to 20 during the same period in 2000, according to the police department. Calls for service were down to 83 from 119 last year during those five months.

Durham and others might like the music, but not everyone shares their opinion. The music was silenced for three weeks when vandals pulled out the speaker wires and used a sledgehammer to smash the electricity meter on the side of the building.
