Extraordinary document of this musical friendship, with Schoenberg baring his heart, and offering the ultimate accolade "There is no doubt he was a great composer..."
In another post, I mentioned what beautiful words Schoenberg chose for this eulogy. I think the phrase "...the deplorable loss to music." is both startling and moving.
Given this film clip and the comment by Schoenberg on the loss of his friend, Gershwin, it amazes me that there are very famous people who write in a different style who claim that Schoenberg was without humor or interest in popular music, that his music is devoid of humanity or warmth, or that his intent was the development of a purely mathematical music written to confound and alienate the listening public. It boggles the mind!
New footage of Gershwin for me. Wonderful. How fantastic that the audio of Schoenberg was recorded just the day after George's death...and we still have it.

"Solo il genio può comprendere il genio", scrisse Robert Schumann. Vedendo questo filmato, queste parole continuano a risuonare.

Assolutamente commovente e molto istruttivo! Dove sono le barriere della musica del '900?
