Just discovered this early modern guy yesterday: — Noble Dust
whaaaaat — Noble Dust
The finale is a riot of excess! — SophistiCat
Reminds me of Scriabin. — SophistiCat
Huh, another from the Scriabin/Medtner school, and also new to me. Very nice. — SophistiCat
I honestly never made it that far till now. Interesting. I need more listens. The first listen feels weird because it doesn't feel as existential and spiritually disturbed as the Messiaen I'm familiar with. — Noble Dust
Yes, very ornamental, like Scriabin. I find this guy less indulgent than Scriabin though. I literally stumbled upon this guy on youtube; he apparently died at 23. If anything, I'm so curious how he could potentially have been connected with the French and Russian schools at this time, and at such a young age. Considering that ideas didn't exactly move at an internet pace at the time. But the harmonic structure feels related. — Noble Dust
Btw, word to the wise, the Medtnaculus user on youtube has a great collection of solo piano music from this era; idk if you were familiar with the legendary Hexameron youtube page a few years ago, but Medtnaculus is sort of the heir apparent (the same person, maybe?). — Noble Dust
he went his own way and did not give a crap about anyone's expectations — SophistiCat
If Beethoven's shadow lay over the entire century, reaching all the way to Brahms and Dvorak, in the 20th century styles and influences began to fragment and succeed each other much more rapidly. — SophistiCat
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
