I always asked to me why so many good composers who deserve to be recognaize, are not recognaize at all .And why so many "famous",wich it works are really an ofense to our ears?.(of course this opinion come from a "troglodite"musician who things trascendental music ends up to Prokoffieff,Debussy, Some Strawinsky,some Messiaen,etc.). I remember When i was doing my M of Arts,at Brooklyn College, among my theoretycal asignatures,was a 20 century Music.And i remember(it was in 1,981)was a big discussion when i spoke about Heitor Villalobos. Maybe the 80% of the class,were against him,the arguments? = technique.They say Villalobos was an emphiric composer, with a few (or not at all) Knowledge of what composition is,etc. Then that 80% compare Villalobos work with a Famous Composers of " our times",most of them were from United States of North America,and few from Europe like Stockhausen,Luciano berio, and Luiggi nono.Of course the poor Villalobos resulted like a recicled product. And my only argument was:Why don't you ask the opinion to the people who goes to the concerts,and enjoy his music? I don't thing they were worried about more or less technique than Stockhausen,or any other of the "great ". For me,after make a big intellectual effort,or not in write some music,wich is important,is how it sounds. Would you imagine what i think of a piece who has no sound?. At that time i was making a homework who consist in make an Analysis of the Galliard, and the Pas de deux from AGON ballet suite from Strawinsky. Well, i was speaking about Villalobos. You can easily imagine what can be the opinion of that people towards the music from composers who are unknown. I listen music from composers of South America,who deserve to be edited an listen overseas,more than some"famous" music.Of course i suppose the same thing can happen with composers from Yugoslavia, Croacia, Thailandia, Australia, Paraguay, India, etc.. Thank you very much Thanh for your information,i hope some people who are strongly involve with composition,will take a profit of your information. Best wishes. Gerardo Constantini:.
