Music from a set theorist:
Milton Babbitt's All Set
[asin]B00HF95P4U[/asin]



Edit: Damn, I forgot how much I like this piece! Atonal music never sounded so fun! A jazz radio station could play this and I don't know if anyone would find anything out of order. I think I'll replay it when it's over.
Beethoven's Op. 133 -- A fugue so bad that even Beethoven himself called it "Grosse".

This was my first introduction 8quite recently, actually) to Babbitt's music, and I agree with you: quite fun and very enjoyable...I should explore this composer's output further...

Cheers,

The Jonathan Dove work is beautiful!

I'd like to pick this one up in addition to the other Padmore recording of Britten/Finzi.

How many seconds since you said this, and still no post in the purchases thread? You're slipping, old boy I say, just slipping!

Though they are usually valued just as a first and successful step towards the complete development of the genre, I judge these six string quartets and this interpretation (to say definitive words  ;D) as simply perfect:
