We had this whole recital, including a piece for hand clapping. The class was fun, but I still don't really get the music.kbmulderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019841339337309828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312465011182067178.post-80436693395045855092009-02-11T09:33:00.000-08:002009-02-11T09:33:00.000-08:00well, go right ahead!

Kinda like, oh, I dunno, an alarm clock? But I know you; it would be some magical opportunity... ;-)<BR/><BR/>This is the thing: if no living human on earth is going to hear the whole thing, how can it be appreciated? What is its value beyond the idea of it, which is rather Isaac Asimov, in my opinion? Which, apparently, can be easily dismissed...<BR/><BR/>I do love 4'33", though. That one packs a very heavy message and actually presents the listener/musician with an aural experience. I shoulda said that.<BR/><BR/>love you!KHMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05370307704273976378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312465011182067178.post-10296837597673653372009-02-10T23:37:00.000-08:002009-02-10T23:37:00.000-08:00Well I dig it!

Avant garde? No. Pretentious? Of virtually no value? yes. You'd like to hear the note change?
