Fantastic video! It's such a breath of fresh air to see videos with such good production discussing contemporary composers like Abrahamsen. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us!
I'm really pleased you liked it! This has been my least viewed essay so far, but I'm really proud of out. I love his music, and hope to do many more essays in this vein. Thank you so much for watching.
Just listening to this piece for the first time here, it makes me think of the lightrail transit in my city. Almost like what the driver would hear traveling their route and the people getting on and off the train.
Wonderful video on a absolutely stunning piece of art. My only criticism is that I wished the analysis was longer! Also I sometimes have a difficult time concentrating what you say when the music is so beautiful.
@@ListeningIn Keep Going! Reminds me of something... Do you have an analysis of Berio's Sinfonia in the pipeline at some stage? (Btw brilliant essay on Abrahamsen, keep up the good work!)
Amazing channel. Have you heard of Alfred Karindi? He was an Estonian composer of pre-mid-post ww2 period. Majority of his music are pieces for organ, as the church organ and singing was a huge movement in Estonia back then. His organ sonata #3 F-moll have been fascinating me from childhood period, in fact some of Collier's "Moon River" harmonic transitions are similar to what's happening in the first part of that sonata. Would love to hear your analysis on it someday, as even while hearing and trying to play it, i'm sure I've missed a lot.
Thank you! Oh - I haven't heard of him. I will have a look at his work, and the third organ sonata in particular. Thank you very much bringing him to my attention!
Thank you! I'm currently planning on analysing the Rite of Spring (with links to art/cubism), possible Peter Grimes, but definitely John Adams' opera Doctor Atomic (also maybe Ligeti's second string quartet, or his Clocks and Clouds, or anything by Ligeti!).

I love the idea of limitation being necessary to the open field of creation.
I know - it's a fascinating concept, and it crops up in all forms of art (literature, music, visual art etc...).
Please continue making your analysis videos, finding this channel made my weekend 👍
@@jeffpicklo525 I definitely will! Next one is on Petrushka. So glad you're enjoying my channel.

Fantastic video! What other works are you planning on analyzing?

Very nice essay, but not mentioning Christian Bök's "Eunioa" feels like a slight against him. But maybe he's a jerk and deserves it, I dunno.
This video is better than the Abrahamsen piece!
