At measure 39 the winds drift roughly a bar's length behind the brass. When making this video, I decided to follow the winds. Leaving this comment in case anyone gets lost while trying to read along. :)
I wanted to leave a snarky sarcastic comment about how it took me out of the music but honestly I can't bring myself to this is an incredible feat of performance
I have mixed feelings about Brian Ferneyhough. I have always respected his mind as a composer, but I have difficulty grasping the overall structures of a lot of his works. This piece though I felt I was able to though - maybe the short time span, as well as me really latching on to the horn and trombone parts help I think. Cool piece
@@RTCMAHL Everything Ligeti said about Ferneyhough in an interview with Manfred Stahnke in 1993 is still relevant. Once you read it, you'll get all clear. He's right.
Taking music seriously is a prerequisite for judging whether a piece is successful or not. Of course, you can laugh at it instead, but then at least you had good entertainment.
@@thomaslaubli1886 Better laugh on this, for sure, than let the "composer" laugh on us. Behind the curtain of the war against harmony there is only lack of talent. Schoenberg could only brake the "rules" because he showed himself worthy as a master of music. There's one thing good about the overdose of noise form the 1950's onwards: no one else have to feel propelled to keep doing it. But I understand that it is an industry on the dungeons of the academic world, where all these "composers" don't make their living as musicians, but as teachers: it's all about one applauding each other's untalented crappy noise and massaging their egos.

@@oscargill423 it really is
"Wow what an incredibly complex and unnerving piece of music this is incredib-"

*WHEEZE*
Wow, that ending is gorgeous!

I appreciate his music but at the same time I ask myself, as a composer, will people understand the difficulty and is it worth it.

Why?
I can't take this seriously.

Rubbish
Have you talked to your psychiatrist about it?
