Confusing the Appeal.

I’m noticing a sorry trend these days. So much serious music is being sold in performance on the back of sex and cheap glamour. The young woman pianist walks on stage wearing skimpy shorts or other sexually provocative apparel, and then sits down to perform a piano concerto. So what are we supposed to do? Listen to the music or ogle her body? It appears we’re supposed to do both, but are they compatible? It seems to me that the appeal of good music does not sit easily with the objectification of women.
