As promised, I share with you the results of the «Dodecaphonic survey». Save-you-a-click summary:
Here is the full article: Who cares if I listen? A study of dodecaphonic music enjoyment.
Thanks to everyone who took the survey in the other thread.
- take a brief dodecaphonic piece, let us call it D;
- modify 10% of the notes in D by changing their pitch. Let us call this new piece DM;
- have an audience of people who appreciate dodecaphonic music listen to D and DM;
- there is no evidence that the listener’s enjoyment is lowered from D to DM. In other words, dodecaphonic enthusiasts seem not to care that the notes being played are “wrong”.
Thanks to everyone who took the survey in the other thread.
