Ezra Pound said Antheil was a genius.

I think comparing Ballet Mécanique to the Prelude in C-sharp minor by Rachmaninov is an interesting analogy - but remember, the latter was actually very popular in Rachmaninov's lifetime so much so that it became somewhat of a bane (as you say), but Ballet M never did really become popular in the first place in the way Antheil actually wanted and in fact he desperately tried to manufacture its success or infamy by staging false "riots" etc. A very illuminating discussion of the man. Thanks. I love the recent recoding of his violin and piano music by Duo Odéon

I'm enjoying the recent recording of Anthiel's First Violin Sonata with Patricia Kopatchinskaja and Joonas Ahonen.

How is it "AMAZING"? or "VERY INTERESTING"?

@wwall57 5 лет назад

His music is very interesting, but there HAD to be drugs involved, if not, he was crazy, and could put to music, it's really amazing he was popular.

Can you please do Film Music, Bernard Herrmann, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Leonard Bernstein, Francis Poulenc ?

@ClassicalNerd 6 лет назад

Film Music has been added to the request pool, and Herrmann, Korngold, Bernstein, and Poulenc have all been bumped up.

Rife with mistakes, incorrect name pronunciations and omissions. Antheil's co-invention/patent of the radio controlled torpedo device was with actress Hedy Lamarr. It forms the basis, several modifications later, for CDMA Spread Spectrum, which makes mobile telephony [your mobile/cell phone, wiFi, etc.] possible.

I fail to see how this video can be "rife with mistakes" when the rest of your comment restates part of what I talked about in the video.
