>If one comes to England or even America, [Sibelius]’s name begins to grow into the infathomable. He is named as often as a car brand’s. Radio and concert resound with the sounds of Finland. Toscanini’s programs are open to Sibelius. [...]His music is in a certain sense the only 'subversive' [music] from these days. But not in the sense of destroying the corrupt existing order, but in a Caliban-like destruction of all musical results of the dominion over nature that mankind acquired at high price from using the tempered scale. If Sibelius is good, then the standards of musical quality as richness of relationships, articulation, unity in manifoldness, diversity in oneness, which perennate from Bach to Schoenberg, are obsolete. All this is betrayed by Sibelius to a nature which isn’t natural, but rather a shabby photography of his parents' home. He has his part in the wearing-out in art music, even though he is easily bested by industrial light music. But in his symphonies such destruction is masked as creation. Its effect is dangerous.

What does he think about jazz music.
today plebs think jazz as elitist genre (I seriously called out by SJW like that) but I think back then jazz was recognized by heroin-addict negro music, and It actually is

>Adorno despised jazz and popular music, viewing it as part of the culture industry, that contributes to the present sustainability of capitalism by rendering it "aesthetically pleasing" and "agreeable"
>He argued that the culture industry, which produced and circulated cultural commodities through the mass media, manipulated the population. Popular culture was identified as a reason why people become passive; the easy pleasures available through consumption of popular culture made people docile and content, no matter how terrible their economic circumstances. "Capitalist production so confines them, body and soul, that they fall helpless victims to what is offered them."
>The differences among cultural goods make them appear different, but they are in fact just variations on the same theme. He wrote that "the same thing is offered to everybody by the standardized production of consumption goods" but this is concealed under "the manipulation of taste and the official culture's pretense of individualism"

Music is my biggest cultural blind spot. I've tried listening to the greatest symphonies and I just don't get the point tbph. What's it supposed to do other than make me feel very mildly sad or happy?
