"Tierkreis" for orchestra? I suppose this one's my fault, eh?

Absolument mon ami!

It was better than most Stockhausen I agree. More like music than an experiment.

Thread duty, Chopin Nocturnes on a Pleyel and an Erard.

You are one mean fish! Taunting me. You think I'm Baklavaboy all of a sudden?

I think it is in the GMG charter that you must taunt someone at least once a year to keep your membership active.


Of course, some of us over-do it from time to time

See? I actually really like it. I'm kind of proud of myself for liking a Stockhausen work, too . I feel like I've conquered something, or something like that...

[Karl Henning]

Well, even Stockhausen might have written something really fine.  By accident, as it were . . . .

And you wonder why I think your soul is in peril.

If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination. Once begun upon this downward path, you never know where you are to stop. Many a man has dated his ruin from some murder or other that perhaps he thought little of at the time

[Florestan]

a political kindred spirit for Left Florestan too!

An avowed Marxist and member of the Communist Party of Italy, Henze produced compositions honoring Ho Chi Minh and Che Guevara. At the 1968 Hamburg premiere of his requiem for Che Guevara, titled Das Floß der Medusa (The Raft of Medusa), the placing of a red flag on the stage sparked a riot and the arrest of several people, including the librettist. Henze spent a year teaching in Cuba, though he later became disillusioned with Castro.

Too bad I'm not a composer. I would have written a Requiem for Che Guevara's Victims.

I've never properly applied myself to procrastination . . . .

You can still write an eulogy and have Karl put it to music.

Lol. Not bad, huh? I was surprised. It reminds me of something from the second Viennese school (which I am starting to appreciate).

Yes, I actually like it too. If heard blind, I would not have guessed Stockhausen...at least not from the first ten minutes or so.
