Very beautifully composed and "speakingly" played!
- to Howard:
I always read your mails with great pleasure and admire their logic.
But this time I can not follow You: "The big advantage of 12-tone music
is that nobody can tell."(i.e.octave transpositions, tempo changes etc.)
If this is meant as an affront against Schoenberg and his school, You
are wrong.
You can not exclude, that there are some (for sure not many!) listeners,
who can tell. Octave transpositions for example are also in 5- ore
8-tone music not so easy "hearable."
Especially this piece of Jelinek (and especially in this
lute-transscription) impresses by his musical gestures. I don´t miss
"normal" melodies.
Yours
Andreas
