Date: January 17th, 2026 10:27 AM Author: nubile silver theater kitty cat Chopin is from the 19th century, so we'll have to resort to an early 20th-century reintepretation of Chopin's etudes by Godowsky. Not particularly bizarre, just difficult to perform. Apologies in advance for any disappointment.

Date: January 17th, 2026 12:30 PM Author: nubile silver theater kitty cat Have to go with Ferneyhough then.

Date: January 17th, 2026 8:57 PM Author: nubile silver theater kitty cat The problem here is that this incomprehensibly complex style is taken to the point where I could create the same semi-random but pointlessly complex music despite me having no talent as a composer. That's why you can't take Ferneyhough or similar composers seriously. But they do want you to take them seriously. After all, Ferneyhough made it all the way to Stanford with this gibberish "music."

Date: January 17th, 2026 3:50 PM Author: nubile silver theater kitty cat Yes, I view this piece as being pushed to the absolute limit of dissonance and complexity without devolving into randomness.

Date: January 17th, 2026 3:12 PM Author: Lilac electric friendly grandma 180 thank you you used the phrase "obviously a cynical fraud and charlatan" above and that is how I view Cage but others may disagree |
|
Date: January 17th, 2026 3:16 PM Author: nubile silver theater kitty cat No doubt John Cage spewed out a lot of pure trash, but some of his music is actually enjoyable. For instance, his pieces for prepared piano.
Ferneyhough, the fraud and charlatan, is just SPS with no redeeming qualities. It's just unnecessary complexity and near-randomness that ordinary people laugh at (and should). |

|
Date: January 17th, 2026 3:34 PM Author: nubile silver theater kitty cat Haven't listened to them in over a decade at this point, so I don't remember specific pieces. The interesting ones had minimalist aspects IIRC. The problem with the recordings is the piano preparation and resultant sound varies wildly with each recording. So some recordings sound dull while others are more lively. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5823208&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310904#49596940) |

|
Date: January 17th, 2026 8:43 PM Author: nubile silver theater kitty cat I know the pianist/composer, but I haven't heard this particular piece. Classical music snobs would probably thumb their noses at this piece, but the snobs can be ignored. All that matters is whether you like it.
The technique of modifying the sound of the piano by interacting with the strings themselves is not new. Henry Cowell first explored this around 100 or so years ago. John Cage took the idea further in his pieces for prepared piano, which I mentioned earlier. |
