Talk:Minimal music

Article title

I have reverted User:Gentlecollapse6's change of the article title to "Minimalist music". This was the former article title, changed to "Minimal music" after a brief discussion in 2011 (see above). It seems to me that reverting a previous change should be preceded by a discussion, and consensus of the editors working on this article.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 07:35, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

I think the article failed to mention muzak

I think the article failed to mention the watered-down music of Muzak, known nowadays as "elevator music". Key feature - inobtrusive. People used to criticise "muzak" for being monotonous, too dull... and, honestly, Muzak sounds like a "minimalsitic" take on classical music to me - one even lighter than light music. 81.89.66.133 (talk) 16:48, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Introduction seems like unrelated information

It looks like the first few lines have been edited to show information about the Porsche 911 Here is whats written there: "The Porsche 911 GT3 is a high-performance homologation model of the Porsche 911 sports car. It is a line of high-performance models, which began with the 1973 911 Carrera RS. The GT3 has had a successful racing career in the one-make national and regional Porsche Carrera Cup and GT3 Cup Challenge series, as well as the international Porsche Supercup supporting the FIA F1 World Championship." Perhaps this is an AI bot edit? I don't know how to revert to the text that was there in a previous version. 192.136.22.6 (talk) 14:48, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

The purpose of this article ("minimal" vs "minimalism")

This article sets out to do two very different things at once: provide a typical overview of classical minimalism and present a coherent typology of any music that can be described as "minimal" in any sense. This is, I think, an inevitably confused and confusing twofold premise, and beyond that I don't know if the latter can be done at all without masses of lackluster original research aiming to synthesize things that can hardly be construed as directly connected, as dominate it at present. I would limit this article to discussing the agreed-upon characteristics and history of classical minimalism and do away with the second aspect entirely.
