Why did Pierre Boulez gesticulate way less in 2006, than in 1963, whilst conducting Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring? 1. Please compare and contrast Pierre Boulez conducting Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring? Here's him conducting l'Orchestre de Radio-Canada in 1963 https://youtu.be/QF1pTRR8l20 vs. Orquesta Filarmonica della Scala in 2006. https://youtu.be/qiygeWIIpxs 2. Aside from aging — why else ...

Why does a conductor need to gesture and hand wave, to "conduct" John Cage's 4′33″? At 0:24, as this comment correctly REaffirms >Love how serious the conductor is, putting his hand up for all the time Kirill Petrenko starts his handwaving. Why? His handwaving and gestures feel guileful, UNfrank and UNcandid. Why didn't he simply stand there during 4'33", before concluding? ... (more) |

Why do you need sheet music of John Cage's 4′33″ to perform it? At 1:45, Kirill Petrenko has the paper score for 4'33" opened on his conductor stand. But use of sheet music feels guileful and uncandid for 4'33". Can't a competent conductor or musician "conduct" or "perform" 4'33" "from memory"? All a competent conductor or musician TRULY needs — is a time, or s... (more) |

Please identify this instrumental? Is this "Ocean" by This Night Alone? This video uses an instrumental version, which https://www.aha-music.com/identify-songs-music-recognition-online/rec/04d5ec380b0c7a48dc815be0ae3c6e81#record-div identifies as Ocean by "The Nights Alone". Are these the original composer and composition? Or did the instrumental stem from elsewhere? ... (more) |

How can you productively find all recordings of a piece?

| Question | — |
Which of Pierre Boulez's composition(s) are considered unlistenable, and/or the (Modernist) Emperor's New Clothes? I can brook listening to Boulez's 3 Piano Sonatas, Le Marteau sans maître, Pli selon pli, and Répons. I've listened to Boulez's OTHER compositions THE PAST 20 YEARS, but nothing else of his resonates with me! Which Boulez's other compositions do musicologists judge to be merely Modernist balderdas...

| Question | — |
Why no International Piano Competitions (as lofty as the Chopin) for less popular composers of ≥ 3 Piano Concertos, like Rautavaara? I trust my reasoning is obvious, self explanatory. I'm referring to relatively arcane composers who composed AT LEAST 3 piano concertos like John Field, Paul Hindemith, Ernst Krenek, Bohuslav Martinů, Darius Milhaud, Alfred Schnittke, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Charles Wuorinen. NOT referring to famous co... (more) |

| Question | — |
'differential' vs 'different' : as adjectives, not nouns. Are the textbooks below using 'differential' correctly? Why not just write 'different'? >The structure of differential identity is such that in order for there to be a limit at all, one difference along the set of equivalent differences must break the series. This single, decisive difference b... (more) |

| Question | — |
In Kim Taeyeon's "I", why do the C7 and Six-Four Chords conceal the chord changes? 1. I don't understand the analysis and dialogue, starting at 15:04, between Kevin Wang BMus (Eastman) in Piano Performance and Jenny Yunyi Ji BMus (Eastman), MMus (San Francisco Conservatory of Music) in Piano Performance. Can anyone please encapsulate the key points and takeaways? 2. In particul... (more) |

| Question | — |
How much ear training is required to identify chords and their progressions, without perfect pitch and reading any scores? I'm impressed by Kevin Wang's ability to identify chords aurally. He graduated with a BM in Piano Performance from the Rochester School of Music in 2016. I'm assuming that 1. he has never seen the score for any song that he's reviewing, but I can't verify this. I know that he could hoodwink us b... (more) |

| Question | — |
In Taeyeon Kim's "I", why does the Leading Tone or Seventh sound like the Tonic? I'm assuming that Jenny Ji hasn't hoodwinked us by covertly consulting the score, before reviewing this song in this Youtube video. To improve my ear training, I deliberately refrained from reading the score too. But every "Seventh", that Ji identifies, sounds like the tonic scale degree to me! I ... (more) |

We love the Second Viennese School, but daughter's practice of Boulez's music is wearying us. How can we appreciate Boulez? We love and listen to the Second Viennese School like Berg, Schoenberg, Webern — even before my daughter was born! My daughter's studying music at university. To guard privacy, I don't want to write more details on her or our family. But starting 2019, she's been practicing many pieces composed b... (more) |
