4. Charles Ives once made the following statement: 
The fabric of existence weaves itself whole. You cannot set art off in a corner and hope for it to have vitality, reality, substance. There can be nothing ‘exclusive’ about a substantial art. It comes directly out of the heart of life and thinking about life and living life. My work in music helped my business and my business helped my music.

What is Ives reacting to in this statement? Which composers do you think he is referring to? (Hint: He is taking on people who feel art music needs to be exclusive in order to have cultural value).
How might this statement inform our understanding of Ives' compositions?

5. American composer Elliot Carter once made the following remarks about Ives' music:

It is to me disappointing that Ives too frequently was unable and unwilling to invent musical material that expressed his own vision authentically, instead of relying on the material of others.
In your opinion, was it "inauthentic" for Ives (and other composers) to make use of borrowed materials? (How does Ives' approach to borrowing differ from that of Nicki Minaj and David Guetta in "Hey Mama"? 

Is his usage more appropriate or ethical than theirs?)
Is there a different understanding of authenticity at work for Ives then the one Carter implicitly invokes?
