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.
This made some spell on me... just a question maybe I do not understand clearly. Who plays what? 1 and 2 Jo Boatright 3 Laurie Hudicek 4 Andrew Russo 5 to 12 Laurie Hudicek Is that correct? Does somebody is able to answer to me?

19:50 is the scariest part that i ever heard on music category

No. 11 (26:29) is actually one of the most brilliant pieces of music I've ever heard
its fkn chopin dude
@@santiagologioco7971 Yeah no kidding. What’s brilliant is how it’s used in this composition, not that “it’s just Chopin.”

Simplesmente maravilhoso poder acompanhar essa partitura tão complexa. A genialidade de Crumb não tem limites. Parabéns ao canal.
Muchas gracias por esta partitura. Sería increíble el video similar del Makrokosmos II.
One of the greatest modern piano piece
this is
nothing
I believe this is a recording by the pianist Laurie Hudicek. (CRUMB: Makrokosmos I & II / Laurie Hudicek, pno / Intakt INN313)
26:24 possibly Schumann symphony 1
26:32 fantaisie impromptu
Yup thats Schumann 1 alright
Rest in peace.

Amazing
Crumb music for your child's brain development.
For CRUMBling his brain
That advice can kill.
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

@@AsrielKujo i cant whistle help :(

No.3 Pastorale really sounds like some sort of bird-song, much more so than a lot os Messiaen's stuff.
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.
awesome piece!!
Don't be over surprised with the sheet, Its just ridiculously specific.
This made some spell on me... just a question maybe I do not understand clearly.
Who plays what?
1 and 2 Jo Boatright
3 Laurie Hudicek
4 Andrew Russo
5 to 12 Laurie Hudicek
Is that correct? Does somebody is able to answer to me?
11:58 when everything reminds you of her

The normal music in the middle part sounded weird after 10 minutes of that
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.
some of these tracks sound like zelda dungeon ambience
Yeah
