Read the passage carefully and answer the questions ( 7074 ) given below it.

A jolly musicologist by the entirely unobjectionable name of Henry Pleasants has written a book called The Agony

Modern Music. That word Agony is right. Much of it just not written down put improvised. Much of what passes f

music of these times is raucous noise and the excuse for persisting with it is that every common youngster understands a

likes it. The pleasant fellow concedes that serious music is virtually dead. This may be dismissed as yet anoth

pleasantry which the undirected young indulge in. Paul Hindesmith, possibly one of the last of the classical giants, on

said that some composers tented to develop an oversublimated technique which produces images of emotions that are f

removed from any emotional experience a relatively normal human being ever has. That is just the point. High art ca

never be totally democratised. There is a barrier between the egghead and the hoipolloi and it would be lazy idealism

ignore this. When Bach played and Beethoven roared, who was then the gentleman? The pity of it is that while talki

music to the masses, all known rules are broken and improvisation becomes king. That, roughly speaking, is how jazz w

born; by dropping discipline, inspiration, deep personal emotions and every element of creative art, and adopti

improvisation as its main rationale. Why, they even tried to smuggle bits of jazz into serious music so that the composecould somehow survive. Now they are going one step further : learn it by ear, dont write down the stuff, make it up as y

go along and hope, by these shoddy techniques, that everyone present will applaud and, thus, provide the composer a

the performers with their daily bread.

70. The author uses the word improvisation to suggest :(A) making the original more sublime (B) tampering with the original

(C) rendering the original more popular (D) simplifying the original

71. According to the author high art cannot be democratised because :(A) high art is oversublimated ` (B) people differ in their emotional experience

(C) masses cannot be expected to appreciate what only the few intelligent can

(D) democratizing necessarily involved improvisation
