What a beauiful string quartet this is and what a superb performance and excellent recording! To me this is Schönberg's last great work. He went a bit downhill after Op. 30 but this quartet really stands out among the string quartets of the twentieth century.
I'm glad that you posted it. it's been over a decade that I've been able to listent o any of my records of Schoenbergs string quartets. I was happy that you posted the score too. Mine's all marked up from analysis that I did back in the late 1970s / early 1980s.
@bartje11 Sorry, I don't listen to that crap. I happen to think Schoenberg and his "system" are both extremely overrated, but I'll admit he's more listenable than his waste-of-talent followers (Boulez, etc.) that popped up mid-century and became musico-fascists for their cause.
@MaestroTJS So why comment? Why even bother? What's your point? Go vent your frustrations somewhere else or I'll delete you and block you. I had class with Boulez, so now you are also insulting me personall
@bartje11 You can do whatever you like; it's your channel.
If all you care to hear are opinions which confirm your taste, that probably says something about you and reinforces my thought about serialists being musico-fascists who don't like opposing opinions.
Boulez is a smart guy and a good conductor. I just take great exception to his polemics and feel that he and several of his compatriots wasted their great talent in pursuit of a false aesthetic. That's all.
@MaestroTJS This is foremost my music, my taste. So there! Everything you say goes against it. You have your opinion, fine, but use some other place to vent it, not on MY channel. This is a channel of music I LOVE and care about and I spend hours of love and dedication to upload scores so everybody on this planet can enjoy it. I am not uploading this for some smart ass to judge me or my taste. Goodbye!
@bartje11 While I appreciate and thank you for your efforts, please realize that my responses, other than my initial one, were to explain my point better. It was you, you'll note, who threw out the first personal insult. One can be musically educated and not like Schoenberg, et. al., so please don't lump everyone in with braindead Justin Bieber lovers.
@bartje11 The fact that there is a comment section means people can leave comments, good and bad. Do you think I'm the only person who reacts negatively to Schoenberg? Everyone is ultimately a critic and judge, consciously or otherwise. Some opinions are more valid than others. I don't really understand why you are getting so worked up over a dissenting opinion, it's not like I've asked you to take the video down or go listen to Beethoven instead or whatever. *shrug*
@MaestroTJS "They say to disagree with a man's political views is to risk being considered a fool, but to insult his musical tastes is to risk becoming his enemy".
this says it all. You are my enemy now! hahahahaha
@MaestroTJS If serialists are such "musico-fasctists," then why do I see your name on every single video of Schoenberg and his followers? I literally see no uproar until you leave a comment. If they are so bad, then why are you out hunting for chances to insult them? Honestly, you did not know Schoenberg personally. I would wager that you have never read any of his brilliant writings. If I were you, I would shut my uneducated mouth before speaking. All you do is insult. (Cont'd...)
@MaestroTJS (Cont'd...) With all of the time you have spent on these serialists' videos, you could have sat down with an open mind and actually tried to get some sort of point of view on this type of music. It was seem as though you are too lazy to do that, you sorry excuse for a musician. So yeah, go listen to Beethoven's 5th or some other spoon-feeding music. And, yes, I am insulting you, so don't go on the third grade "you did it first" trip as you did previously on this forum. Good day.
@MadCoSnareLine Since Mr. Bartje is an overly sensitive and easily excitable fellow who doesn't like debate, I will be forced to respond to you personally.
I love Kandinsky and his work, so I ended up here. I've been told to look at one of Kandinsky's paintings while the music of Schönberg is playing and I must say: AMAZING!
@TheDynamiteVoice I love Kandinsky, too. But this music is ,more like a beautiful subject like a field of flowers painted in nasty, barfy, clashing colors. The guidelines of form are there but the feeling has been taken out completely.
An excellent idea to display the score, especially so precisely synchronised with the soundtrack. Any chance of doing the same for the fourth quartet..?

In the film "Close enconters of the third kind" they use musical communication with the aliens.
If it really happens someday, may be not use Schönbergs music, aliens could take it the wrong way!
