affluent ['WfluRnt] – изобильный, богатый
Until the early part of the 20^th century there was certainly a distinction between popular music, the songs and dance tunes of the masses, and what we _______________ (1 – to come) to call classical music. Up to that point, however, there ____________ (2 – to be) at least some points of contact between the two, and perhaps general recognition of what ___________ (3 – to make) a good voice, or a good song. With the development of a mass entertainment, popular music _____________ (4 – to split) away and _____________________ (5 – gradually / to develop) a stronger life of its own, to the point where it ____________ (6 – to become) incompatible with the classics. In some respects, it _____________________ (7 – now/to dominate) by the promotion of youth culture, so that a concert by Elton John is just as much a fashion event, and other artists may be promoting dance styles, or social protest. For this reason, it __________ (8 – to be) impossible to talk about popular music as if it were a unified art. The kind of music you like may ____________ (9 – to depend) on what kind of person you are. Curiously, there are now classical musicians and operatic singers who ________________ (10 – to achieve) the status of rock stars, and ________________________ (11 – to market) in the same way. This seems to suggest that many young people enjoy classical music but do not wish _______________________ (12 – to associate) with the lifestyle of those who are traditionally supposed to enjoy it. Or it may simply be that recording companies ____________________ (13 – to discover) that there is an insatiable desire for ‘sounds’, and that classical music ____________________ (14 – to begin) to sound exciting to a generation raised on rock but now settling into affluent middle-age.
