I feel isolated within my own thoughts. misunderstood, unheard. No one seems to grasp the truth behind what I’m trying to express. As a Black man, I’m constantly made to feel as though I need permission to engage with music created by white, cisgender men, as if my identity somehow disqualifies me from interpreting their art. And Tár.. she refuses to listen, too consumed by her own convictions to truly see where I’m coming from. But my artistry is mine alone. I have every right to conduct the music that moves me. I am a strong, Black, independent man. and my voice deserves to be heard.

I’ve been thinking a lot about today’s seminar. Tár is... intimidating. Everyone acts like she’s a god, but I just don’t see it. Sure, she’s brilliant, but does that excuse the way she talks to people? The way she looks at us like we’re beneath her?
I’m tired of pretending this kind of authority doesn’t feel oppressive. If the opportunity comes up, I think I’ll say something. Or maybe I won’t. I don’t know. I hate this.

yesterday I was humiliated at school. This asshole named tar forced me to play, bach, even though I hate him. Those fucking privileged white men and women, thinking they’re better than us. I could play Bach, but I don’t want to. My ego is too big and I don’t like his music. Besides that, looking at the history of him, it should be accepted if one doesn’t want to play the music of an asshole. I was very nervous to express my opinion, so my leg was shaking the whole time. Very embarassing. Then, she dared to touch me. That was so not okay. Besides, I think this witch is crazy, she belongs in the hospital. As I thought, I would go mental, the lesson was over. Than I went home and cried for 6 hours straight. Than I watched Harry Potter, because I was so depressed and pissed. Fuck that bitch, I hate her. Dumbledore would be a w teacher though.

Goodnight my dearest diary, I hope you sleep well

(Sweet dreams Tár ;) )

Today has been truly eventful. My classes went fine, until I had the 3 hour conducting period. I feel like my professor is insane. She doesn’t get how it is to be a black, pan gender person in the world of music. The famed composers from back then were all conforming to the societal norm of misogyny and racism. I will not stand for or condone that. Nobody, not even she can make me. I don’t know how I’ll survive the rest of this semester.

# data[].attributes.body
my student doesn’t won’t to learn from me. He thinks that his personal opinion does matter in my class. That the history has dark points is clear, but music is free and does not has to be connected with he composer. Bach is an intelligent composer and he could learn much from his compositions. I hope he will accept and embrace it

I love you my dear

you tàr

Dear diary, Tar is my knew teacvher, shes is really good. It was interesting and everyboidy knows her ion the music industry. But i really dont agree of her view of music. She only thinks about music anmd nothing else. But music is so much more! We need to be thinking about morals and beliefs. We had a really interesting disscution about that topic today. She doesnt share the same opinion with me. She thinks the personal life of composers has nothing to do with their compositions, she was really insisting on her opinion, but i really dont understand it.

This day was very dificult and i dont want that this happend again. Today my Professor Lydia Tar was to mean to me, that was terrible, this was so offensiv and Agressive that i though that i was under the press of big mashine. I cant hold it in my self any more. Sie was very confident that all those white superior composers are a good composers and those Music wich they´ve made are very important and grate, but it is realy not try all. This people and Musik is a misoginists and white supioriors, i cant aford this anymore im going to Write a comnplaint on this Professor.

Dear Mother,

I have a really difficult student at the time. It’s so annoying. He is not willing to understand and open himself for the music. I dont know what to do anymore. And since you’ve always helped me I am asking you: What should I do with him? It makes me nervous and angry.

In love,

your Tar

Dear diary,

I sufferd alot today: Tár was really hard to me. I felt so smal and opressd when she talked to me with her coldblooded voice. I don`t want to play Bach… he is a racist! I can`t take his music seriously. Maby clasical music is not for me… it is so hard, I want to end my life. My hole life I did not know what to do, but now I know for certain.

Goodby LIFE $

i feel so misunderstood. My conducting teacher, Tár, just Never listens to my opinion. I think nowadays in our modern world it is so important to Not ignore the negative Sides of composors and their work. I was always told to say my opinion and to conduct the way i feel. I just dont understand why she now wants me Not to think about that.

She always just ignores my Problems and wants me to feel the way she does.

I really Hope it will get better and that she will accept my opinion one day. I want to be a Great conducter, but a Great conducter has to be hisself and be allowed to have an opinion. The music industry needs new and critical voices.

today was an thought provoking day, I don’t really know what to believe in anymore. My world view seems to be falling apart. All my life, as a music student studying conducting, I was always told to try and understand the composer. Teachers always preach the importance of identifying with some aspect of their life. I tried to do this with Bach, I was unsuccessful. But now where Tar tries to make me look at the composer and their music solely, without considering their beliefs, my opinion kind of shifted. Maybe I can enjoy his music, without having the same life experiences as him. Maybe there is a beauty in trying to embody somebody else.

But now I’ve stated my opinion, I was pretty stubborn to be completely honest, and it kind of embarrasses me that I didn’t really consider her point earlier today. You know, I’ve always believed that my personal experience overweighs everything, I was raised like that. Should I just talk to Tar? Explain to her, what lead me to be so stubborn today?

# data[].attributes.body
Good Morning Love,

How are you? I'm mostly fine, though I am a bit pissed at one of my students. He is just so stubborn!!! He won't change his opinion, thinking, that just because Bach is white and misoginystic, it is not necessary to study his music. How stupid can you be?! Even after I gave him the example of my point of view on Beethoven's character not being the best, but still respecting and admiring his skill and talent. But he stubbornly refuses, saying that white men are not his thing. Well then he may study all the black composers he likes, but he won't have as many options in his life if he doesn't take his views elsewhere and accepts the genius of the white composers. Alright. I'm done ranting about this fool.

So. What are our plans for the weekend?

Looking forward to seeing you

L. Tár

Tar, a 30–40-year-old white American woman, is a renowned conductor and music educator known for her expressive, commanding presence on and off the podium.

She has a deep reverence for Bach’s music, believing that the transcendent brilliance of his compositions outweighs the flaws or controversies of his personal beliefs.

As a teacher, she is both demanding and empathetic, constantly seeking new and nuanced ways to communicate her ideas and reach a common understanding with others.

Her body language is intensely expressive. every gesture, every movement seems to carry the weight of her convictions, revealing the depth of her passion and intellect.

Tar is the kind of person who thrives on dialogue and challenge, always looking to bridge the gap between differing perspectives while remaining firm in her artistic integrity.

Dear Diary.

I honestly hope this mad witch bursts in to flames! Of course this white insane asylum inmate would take the side of those misogynistic white men! Doesn't surprise me. I will make sure that she get's what she deserves.

Max, a young BIPOC male student, embodies the thoughtful yet conflicted voice of a new generation.

He’s socially aware and outspoken, firmly grounded in progressive (“woke”) ideals, often questioning the moral and ethical implications behind art, authority, and privilege.

Despite his strong convictions, Max’s demeanor is timid and anxious. he speaks honestly but cautiously, aware of the power dynamics between himself and figures like Tar.

His body language is tense and uncertain: shoulders slightly hunched, hands fidgeting, gaze shifting as if weighing every word before it leaves his mouth.

Beneath his unease lies a quiet determination to assert his perspective and challenge established norms, even when doing so makes him visibly uncomfortable.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m at my limit. Max, my student, won’t stop going on about how “problematic” the old composers were. I get it, really, I do. But music isn’t about the person who wrote it. It’s about the sound, the structure, the emotion, the way it moves people centuries later. That’s what makes it timeless.

I try to explain interpretation, how every performance is a conversation with the piece itself, but he just doesn’t see it. Sometimes I wonder if it’s even worth it, trying to get through to him.

Enough about my frustration. How are you, my dear?

Love,

Tar

Besides, I think she is crazy. Brilliant, yes. But insane. As I thought, I was about to go mental, the lesson was finally over. Than I went home and started crying straight away. Haven’t done that in like 5 years. Sometimes I just stare at the wall and think about my whole existence. Did I make the right decisions, or am I just not worth it. Maybe I should quit music school. Then again, I think about all the wonderful memories, the amazing and honest friends, friends who actually understand me. So maybe I can accept a little bit of stress. I’ll go to bed now, hoping everything will be better tomorrow.

Goodnight my dearest diary, I hope you sleep well
