Everything about this video I find hugely interesting. I have a music degree and have worked as a semi-pro and a teacher. Intellectually, I can follow everything that is being said and I can appreciate the high quality of the tuition and the playing. I also love impressionist music in general, so I should be an obvious target for all this. My problem is, however, that I simply can't ignore the physical effect those dissonances have on me. My facial muscles tense up and I get headaches. If I force myself to go on, there is almost a voice inside my head saying: "Get the hell out of here." Even more listening leads to depression. Is there a way to handle these issues?
I found listening to the bartok quartets difficult for about 5 years. I forced myself to listen over and over because something inside me knew there was a deep beauty to them. There was a point where my consciousness shifted and I had a number of experiences that had a kind of transcendence to item. I started see shifting images and experienced them as visual narratives unfolding before me. I am so thankful I put the work in to get to a place if pure joy and appreciation. I hope sharing this might help you on your journey.
Hello! Incredible video, Mr. Adolphe is a genius in his own right, being able to find out such incredible elements in Bartók's music and express it all in such a clear and simple way. Such a composer definitely needs such care. I want to know which is the movement of Beethoven's String Quartet that was mentioned as the first example of "editing" in music, I could not get it by listening. I am grateful for this channel's existence.
This is gold!
This is a must watch lesson for any composer who care about composition process, materials, structure... Thanks so much for this!
Beyond magnificent!! Totally illuminating.
Bruce Adolphe is a cultural gem!!!

It's in one of his late quartets, the A minor, 3rd movement.
