Who Needs Classical Music? considers the value of classical music in contemporary society, arguing that it remains distinctive because it works in quite different ways to the other music that surrounds us. Johnson maintains that music is more than just 'a matter of taste'; while some music serves as a background noise or supplies entertainment, other music functions as art. Challenging dominant assumptions about the relativism of cultural judgements, the book aims to restore some types of music to the status of aesthetic text.
