The Living Composer: Same, but not the same, Part II

http://livingcomposer.blogspot.com/2005/01/same-but-not-same-part-ii.html

Res ipsa loquitor - the thing speaks for itself. Tuesday, January 11, 2005. Same, but not the same, Part II. Works that have come to hold a place in the standard repertory have been filtered by a large group of audiences and performers. The process has been painfully democratic in contrast to the process that ‘selected’ the canon. His music does have a place in the SR, but it is nothing like that of Gershwin, for example. Does the focus of historians on Ives elevate him as canonic? How does a composer’s ...

The inversion of every element not in the set. Friday, 6 November 2009. Stravinsky's Symphonies of Wind Instruments.

Complement.Inversion.Etc: December 2009

http://complementinversion.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

The inversion of every element not in the set. Thursday, 10 December 2009. A Quotation, Because It's Nearly Christmas. Courtesy of Pablo Picasso. I did not and indeed could not, count on any immediate success for this work. It is devoid of all the elements which infallibly appeal to the ordinary listener and to which he is accustomed. It would be futile to look in it for any passionate impulse or dynamic brilliance. Stravinsky writing about Symphonies of Wind Instruments. Chronicle of My Life. To an upda...

Complement.Inversion.Etc: March 2010

http://complementinversion.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

The inversion of every element not in the set. Monday, 22 March 2010. A Quotation Because It's Been Rather a Long Time. The ultimate aim of any technical system must be to establish a number of stylistic premises, sufficient to liberate the composer from the need to identify himself afresh with each new work and so to free his imagination by removing the burden of absolute choice. Or this is the theory.'. Susan Bradshaw (1931-2005) The instrumental and vocal music. Pierre Boulez: A Symposium. Thomas Moor...

Complement.Inversion.Etc: Lutoslawski Video: It's Mi Parti and I'll Cry If I Want To

http://complementinversion.blogspot.com/2011/01/lutoslawski-video-its-mi-parti-and-ill.html

The inversion of every element not in the set. Monday, 31 January 2011. Lutoslawski Video: It's Mi Parti and I'll Cry If I Want To. R): Garden party guests never tired of Witold's jokes about limited aletoricism and Soviet repression. Alright so this post isn't actually about Lutoslawski's. But I had to make use of that pun at some point - it was rapidly burning a hole in my blog-post-pun-title-pocket. Instead you can watch a documentary imaginatively entitled 'Open Rehearsals With Witold Lutoslawski'.
