theatrical music (wrong music)

[jochanaan]

Jochanaan, one remaining subtopic. Do you think Kagel's sees it that way? Why do you think that?

I think he might, since according to one of the interviews you linked to, he's also written "absolute music" and "anti-theatrical" music.  He must be aware, as any composer for theater, film, television etc. would be, of the inherent contradictions and possibilities in the blending of music and theater.

Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)

Thank you, Karl.  I couldn't find the exact quote during a quick search.

Then it gets creepy for the discussion companion. What to do now?

Retire and contemplate the discussion, perhaps?  As I intend to.

"anti-theatrical" music

WTF. What's that? Can't find some good articles on internet.

What he gets for being irritable, I suppose.

It baffles me that you call it a common term; this is the first I have ever seen the phrase "instrumental theatre."

So, no, I have not the faintest idea what you mean, mijn vriend.

Could this be it?

Maybe my terminology is not specific, but I got the concept from the articles you linked us to...
