Lessons of GMG

[zamyrabyrd]

Many times I thought it would be so nice, if someone had some masterclass videos to post on GMG! 

In only 2 days, I´m going to Israel for a three-weeks long masterclass! I take my camera with me, so perhabs I could be lucky to get some nice clips to post here.

That sounds more like a marathon. Like all good things, even masterclasses can turn into a racket. But I won't go into that here, since I myself benefitted greatly from top musicians bestowing their words of wisdom.
A lot of the time
1) most of the audience doesn't have a clue what the teacher is talking about.
2) The teacher is showing off in front of the public, especially in voice lessons.
3) It's mainly an excuse to get a free trip and accomodation in hotels.

Where exactly is all this happening?

1. The listener is obsolete.

2. The composer is essential to the CD collector.

3. The performer performs a vital function.

4. Silence is golden.

Then at least, we will get some Jews into the topic.

That was not deliberate. But the response was worth it.

Well, if you think about it, Schoenberg's 12-tone system actually starts at 0 and ends at 11.......
and now that i think about it, if he used the technique in microtonal music, he'd skip both 12 and 13 (bad luck number there), and just go from 11 to 14. So, my people, that's why Schoenberg was never a microtonal composer.
