Was the art necessary to make the music, or did the art organically emerge where the music took it? Would this composer be as interesting if it wasn't art?
Man, pianists are good these days. It's actually incredible. The level has gone so high and I'm pretty sure it was Crumb who put the bar the highest for performers.
By pure luck, I recently found (on eBay of all places!) the actual manuscript copy in George's hand for the final movement of this piece, the 'Spiral Galaxy'/Aquarius. Since almost (if not all) of Crumb's manuscripts are now in the Library of Congress, and I've never seen another manuscript by him on the open market or in a private collection, this was astonishing (to say the least). I've taken it to a paper conservator/framer to have it properly conserved and framed - pretty darn thrilled to add it to my collection...
Hope it was carefully authenticated. When I was in conservatory many composition students were having fun copying this very novel (fifty-five years ago) notation. If authentic, I would think it's worth some fairly serious coin. Remember, Crumb's compositions were also works of visual art and recognized as such by many in that world.
Fã incondicional da obra de Crumb, não me canso de apreciar seus trabalhos e essa obra é maravilhosa. Um clássico contemporâneo. Vitali está soberbo. Parabéns.

His quotation Black Angles is my favorite as he has the strings play on the "wrong" side of the fingers to reproduce the sound of a viol. Eerie and deliciously done
There is a certain brand of composer who is much more interested in how cool the music looks on the page than how it sounds. I admit that it does look cool, but I would definitely get a lot more enjoyment out of this piece by looking at the notation without hearing it, rather than hearing it without seeing the notation.

So touching, love when the whistling happens. Hope to meet Crumb in person one day

I wished so too ;-;
bit late.less u meet in Heaven 1 day
We all end up meeting him at some point.
One of the greatest modern piano piece

q pro

22:12 legit jumped out of my seat, it sounded like she said my name.
Simplesmente maravilhoso poder acompanhar essa partitura tão complexa. A genialidade de Crumb não tem limites. Parabéns ao canal.
26:24 possibly Schumann symphony 1
26:32 fantaisie impromptu
Yup thats Schumann 1 alright
Profound and Vast............... stellar. ⭐
26:38?? Chopin Fantaisie impromptu
Bro wtf lmao
it is so funny xd
Its literally the same
And 26:24 is possibly a reference to Schumann's 1st Symphony "Spring".
House of Leaves: The score
Came here to say the same thing lol
The best Reference in music inside other music 26:18
I totally agree
His quotation Black Angles is my favorite as he has the strings play on the "wrong" side of the fingers to reproduce the sound of a viol. Eerie and deliciously done
Interesting composition!❤
15:58 wtf and 19:50 lmao
sheet be like ⛔️
the reason why this piece is so difficult is because you have to learn to whistle
@@GICMlmao imagine being a world class pianist and not being able to whistle so u can't play this
@@AsrielKujo i cant whistle help :(
14:45
I believe this is a recording by the pianist Laurie Hudicek. (CRUMB: Makrokosmos I & II / Laurie Hudicek, pno / Intakt INN313)
Jokes aside this is actually pure genius
visually absolutely stunning.
thought what else positive i can say...
visually absolutely stunning.
Rest in peace.
when the music starts turning into a circle and begins hypnotizing you
i want to see a prog rock band play this
Descanse en paz, George Crumb 🥺
Descanse en paz...
Descanse em paz,
Awesome composition, awesome performance, awesome video. Just all awesome.
Muchas gracias por esta partitura. Sería increíble el video similar del Makrokosmos II.

I keep hearing echoes of Bartok's Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion. Not a "cover", just shared motifs.

This is sinister
14:02 my favourite part
Don't be over surprised with the sheet, Its just ridiculously specific.
20:00 sounds like you're being chased by a horde of tiny spiders
Just so curious if composers who died at 17, 18, 19, 20th century revived and watch this and how they'll react
They would run away screaming saying that the music is dead

The normal music in the middle part sounded weird after 10 minutes of that
Pena que aqui não vemos Vitali com os dedos no teclado e cordas internas do instrumento. Depois de Crumb, nunca mais o piano foi o mesmo.
11:58 when everything reminds you of her
Amazing
Amazing!
Thank you! ☀️
some of these tracks sound like zelda dungeon ambience
does anyone know what the letters at the end of the movements mean? i.e movement 1 ends with G.R. Pisces
They're the initials of dedicatees (each I believe with the corresponding zodiac sign), slightly obscured in the manner of Elgar's Enigma Variations.
