Which of the following ideas was not part of charles ives's musical philosophy? a. he had little regard for technical skill.. b. he was concerned that his music always be played by professionals. c. he placed value on the performances of amateurs. d. he idealized the simple virtues of ordinary people.

The statement which does not belong to Charles Ives's musical philosophy is: B. He was concerned that his music always be played by professionals. He was a great modernist who introduced to the public brand new mixed style of experimental music. In his new style he combined church-music traditions of his youth with European art music but he was ignored during his life. He composed music and wanted to share it with all the people, so the statement about his concern that he was afraid his music would be played by professional just makes no sense. How a composer can bring music into masses if it is not performed by professionals?
