"Who Cares if You Listen?" is an article written by the American composer Milton Babbitt (1916–2011) and published in the February, 1958, issue of High Fidelity.

  • «Who Cares if You Listen?» es un artículo escrito por el compositor estadounidense Milton Babbitt (1916-2011) y publicado en la edición de febrero de 1958 de High Fidelity. Titulado por Babbitt como «The Composer as Specialist» (y posteriormente retitulado por los editores de High Fidelity ), se encuentra entre las obras más conocidas de Babbit y personifica la distancia que se había formado entre muchos compositores y sus oyentes. En palabras de Anthony Tommasini en The New York Times, "Hasta el día de hoy, se toma como evidencia de que él y los de su calaña desprecian al público". ​ Babbitt usaba la técnica del serialismo integral en sus composiciones, que en sus manos podía ser un modo altamente técnico de composición musical. El artículo no se refiere en absoluto al serialismo, sino que adopta la posición de que la música "seria", "avanzada", como las matemáticas, la filosofía y la física avanzadas, es demasiado compleja para que un "hombre normalmente bien educado sin una preparación especial" pueda "comprenderla". ​ (es)

In the words of Anthony Tommasini in The New York Times, "To this day, it is seized as evidence that he and his ilk are contemptuous of audiences" Babbitt was a practitioner of integral serialism, which in his hands could be a highly technical mode of musical composition. The article does not refer to serialism at all, but rather takes the position that "serious", "advanced" music, like advanced mathematics, philosophy, and physics, is too complex for a "normally well-educated man without special preparation" to "understand".
