    Never been a huge fan of minimal music but this holds some charm, maybe in large part because it's written for clarinets and I'm a clarinetist
    Edit: one year later I have explored more of Reich's work and have fallen in love with it

      Good! Erich’s approach is sooooo unique, so creative, so mesmerizing, I just don’t like it being called ‘minimalism’. Save that for Glass…a guy that has always seemed to me to be the ‘Little Red Book’ of minimalism. (As in….’who reads grade one books in adulthood?’)

    Does anyone understand the musical concept of a counterpoint? In a metaphorical sense, on the picture, you can see a "counterpoint" to New York. That's why the picture.
