description The information society has enabled the universalization, to some extent, of the access to classical music. The emerging technologies have helped remove most of the geographic and economic barriers that prevented the entirety of mankind to reach this kind of music, giving birth to a whole new audience. However, many of these new listeners find trouble when trying to decode the language and resources used in a significant part of the repertoire, specially the one emerged from the avant-garde movements from the 20th century. In this scenario, music analysis becomes an ideal tool to overcome these difficulties and break through the last barrier for the general audience to access classical music. But to reach this new audience, analysis itself must be democratized: it should focus on its most accessible methodologies and avoid becoming a victim of the technicalities it aims to decode. This democratization can only be achieved by observing the features of the new audience and by studying the available techniques that analysts can use to offer the new listeners the proper tools and methodologies to understand and enjoy classical music.

The emerging technologies have helped remove most of the geographic and economic barriers that prevented the entirety of mankind to reach this kind of music, giving birth to a whole new audience. However, many of these new listeners find trouble when trying to decode the language and resources used in a significant part of the repertoire, specially the one emerged from the avant-garde movements from the 20th century.

La sociedad de la información ha permitido universalizar, en gran medida, el acceso a la música clásica. Gracias a las nuevas tecnologías se han eliminado la mayoría de barreras geográficas y económicas para llevar este tipo de música a un nuevo público, que abarca potencialmente a toda la humanidad. Sin embargo, muchos de estos nuevos oyentes se encuentran con dificultades a la hora de decodificar el lenguaje y los recursos utilizados en gran parte del repertorio, especialmente el surgido a partir de las corrientes de vanguardia del siglo XX. Ante este escenario, el análisis musical se erige como una herramienta idónea para solventar estas dificultades y romper la última barrera de entrada a la música clásica. Pero para poder llegar a este nuevo público, el propio análisis debe democratizarse: centrarse en sus metodologías más accesibles y no ser víctima de los tecnicismos que aspira a decodificar. Esta democratización solo puede conseguirse observando las características del nuevo público y estudiando las distintas técnicas a disposición de los analistas para ofrecer las herramientas y metodologías adecuadas a los nuevos oyentes.
