Themes Beautiful and Ghastly
Garry Fung is blogging classical music at A Beautiful Theme and wants us to give him a visit. I can't help but like a guy who is even more contemptuous of Viennese Classicism than I:
Now, most music composed in the Classical Era was pure formula - put the numbers in, and you got a calculated answer. Even the most able musicians were bound by this straight-jacket.As for me, I am content to accuse them of mere lunacy. Meanwhile, the dead are conducting experiments in what I would describe (indefensibly) as a disembodied musique concrète -- but they really need to fix their signal-to-noise problem. They are also playing piano.
