The ethical implications of playing music entirely from the past would be horrendously difficult. This “ghost” of musical annihilation has eliminated everything in relation to music, making it almost impossible to play any composition unless it was already known to someone off by heart; through which the only way we could hear it would be through them. Although, that is not the only implication. People would lose their desire to play any song that they previously enjoyed. Their Spotify playlists would vanish, their favorite artists’ entire discography would disappear, along with anyone else who created music, as well as their record player would cease to exist along with any other musical player (assuming that they are all composed of music up until October 2020). One thing is for sure is that people do not base their entire melodic library on music released in October of 2020, at least so I hope, thus everyone on this planet would be left restless to hear their favorite songs that they were previously able to listen to. I only play piano and acoustic guitar making the music I perform limited. Although if I had to choose from any songs that were erased, they would be Chopin’s “Nocturne op.9 No.2”, Debussy’s “Arabesque No.1”, Scott Joplin’s “The Entertainer”, and last but not least Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven”. I include these pieces for the reason that they are amongst the most prominent examples of revered compositions in regards to my instruments. I would like to include more, however the word limit proves otherwise. Finally, the quote from Nietzsche is a compelling piece that talks about the past and present. It explains that you are only able to truly understand what is worth saving from the past if you are entirely in the present. In the last sentence, it warns that if you do not show affection to your past, “…you will draw the past down on you.” Perhaps this is in reference to the ghost.
