Steve Schwartz on Achim Breiling's response to Jocelyn Wang (et al.): >>What do they expect a contemporary or 20th century composer (as I have the >>impression they like to mix all this music together as atonal) to compose? > >I don't see what they could have said to give you this impression. There's >a lot of 20th century music, much of it sounding not at all like hard-core >dodecaphonic serialism. If I don't remember bad, Miss Wang wrote clearly: >Since the entire process of atonal composition is inconducive >to producing anything resembling beauty... She wasn't talking only about dodecaphonic serialism, but about some unknown "ens" named "the entire process of atonal composition", which, I suppose, must be in her opinion a sort of ugly monster of thousand heads. Or I'm reading bad? Pablo Massa [log in to unmask]
