Here's a Kagi summary: Notation Must Die explores the history and criticism of modern Western music notation. It discusses early Greek, medieval and Renaissance notation systems and how Guido of Arezzo standardized staff lines and solfege in the 11th century. Mensural notation was then developed to notate rhythm and meter. The video examines attempts to reform notation over centuries and alternative systems proposed but argues standard notation remains dominant due to its balance and universality. An interesting aspect discussed is how notation is sometimes seen as elitist despite being accessible with education. While no system is presented as a clear replacement, the video shows notation continues evolving with new adapted forms developed for different musical styles.
