Omnibus: Introduction to Modern Music (excerpt) / Leonard Bernstein
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- In this program, Bernstein introduces his audience to “modern music,” including such a more or less classical composer as Stravinsky to the avant-garde instrumentation of John Cage’s prepared piano and early electronics of Pierre Henry’s musique concrete. Bernstein then goes on to make a case for modern, experimental music, hoping to persuade his audience to “hate it less, or hate it more intelligently, or even grow to like it.”

How beautifully Bernstein explains this to make young people love music. Absolutely great. Lenny Bernstein belongs to the greatest heritage of American history and culture. Should be more of his kind. Greetings from Europe.
Excellent.

Saul Goodman on timpani?
Does anyone know Alma Deutscher?
Lol! You mean the pre-programmed girl who is supposed to be the female Mozart? She is fairly good as a pianist and violinist, but a joke as a composer. I haven't heard her music lately, but I hope she has advanced into the 20th century - or even the late 19th. Most conservatory students can write you a ditty imitating Bach or Mozart. But they wouldn't try to sell it as their masterpiece to a world that has moved on 3 centuries. Meanwhile, there are young people (including women) all over the world that are writing interesting 21st century music and they're rarely heard outside their music schools. The people on 60 Minutes may fall to their knees in praise of Alma, but we musicians just shake our heads and laugh.
at least, hate it more intelligently
No, it isn’t very charming. Unfortunately it seems artists speak more for their “modern” or “avent garde” music rather than the music speaking for itself.
