...notes from a painter's studio notes. I'm still trying to find out who wrote this and will add the author's name when I do. I often find that painter's are better at expressing their personal philosophies about art than musicians are From my studio notes, June 22, 1985 Oakland, early morning We are a tangle of vibrations searching for...

But what about those notes and chords?

2008-01-26 19:51:33 by Mark Wheat in The Current Music Blog

When Playing the Notes Is Enough

2008-07-04 00:00:00 by newmusicrebloggers in New Music reBlog
 
...notes too uninteresting, and think they have to "interpret" them to breathe life into them. There seems to be no sense anymore that a pure, stately, slow melody (such as one finds in Renaissance polyphony or Japanese Gagaku) can be beautiful. Post-Ligeti, post-Carter, post-Debussy, everything has to be turned into texture, into an...
