Score videos, mainly contemporary and early music, and some music from around the world.
« Je ne sais plus Monsieur. Je crois qu'il faut laisser un verre aux morts… [...] Un petit abreuvoir pour ceux que le langage a désertés. Pour l'ombre des enfants. Pour les états qui précèdent l'enfance. Quand on était sans souffle. Quand on était sans lumière. » ~Pascal Quignard, Tous les matins du monde
So many sound events. Why so slow? Can we not apprehend or process the concepts any quicker? 😢 A cosmic didgeridoo in the middle section? Why constantly only descending tones esp. the ending... the Escher work referred to has stairs going upwards as well? Is this the "in vain" of the piece?
Exquisite piece, superbly played here. The music has such an incredible warmth about it. Clears away the dreadful nonsense of what's going on in the world at the moment. Yes, really . . . !
Miraculous piece, bursting with joyous invention. Waltzes are never far from the overall melée. But what fantastic notes. Everything makes total sense and yet there's a wildness about it too. Unleashed, incredibly characterful and makes me smile. Here's somebody who was very, very serious having a great time!
One looks at this score and one believes you are looking at something by Webern or Schoenberg. It is really unique in 14th century music. As people have commented, it makes Gesuado sound like Palestrina. I tried to sing it, with bassoon accompaniment, at the weekly student recital hour when I was a college music major. The problem is that the piece sounds so weird even if sung correctly - as it is here - it sounds even worse with an inadequate performance, as mine certainly was. I found a dark corner and hid for an hour after the performance.
A horrendous piece of music, without any sense, the fruit only of a sick, political ideology. Unlistenable music that the brain cannot memorise even two notes because it has no rhyme or reason. Fortunately, this world of avant-garde music is dead forever!

As far as I understand, the repetitions are in Feldman's manuscript, but for some reason I ignore they don't appear in this edition. There exists a newer UE edition where this has been fixed.
Une musique quelle qu'elle soit n'est nullement faite pour être "comprise" mais pour être "ressentie". L'analyse technique de l'écriture n'est que subsidiaire.Le commun des mortels peut s'en affranchir sereinement sans se sentir honteux parce qu'il se jugerait inculte ou ignorant. Le discours intellectuel pour expliquer la construction d'une oeuvre d'art est toujours suspicieux.Procédé en vogue à partir de la seconde moitié du XX° siècle pour en justifier la valeur et tenter de la sauver du naufrage...On écoute donc Boulez comme on écoute Bach ou Mozart avec sa propre culture et sa propre éducation sans aucune obligation d'aller chercher plus loin que le ressenti.
Sublime. Je la découvre après avoir entendu la 3em. Boulez peut faire peur mals c'est tant mleux. Car indéfinissable. Pour aimer il faut oublier le reste heureusement nous avons eu boulez pour être bouscule et découvrir autre chose
The transposition indication at the beginning of the score makes it even more confusing. It's clear that it was transposed up a fourth (often done, because of modes and ranges) but that makes the actual, heard, pitch even more confusing. Either way, impressive low Cs and Bs! Thanks for this upload by the way!!
