Arnold Schoenberg - Suite for Piano Op. 25 - Part III

[seanval0770]

is it just me or does it seem that there are just random notes thrown in for no reason?

[MattiasXL]

Gould's interpretation of this is absolutely stunning.

[missjacko1]

Glenn Gould really is a great exponant of Schoenberg's piano works.

anyone who listens to this for pleasure is really creepy and probably sleeps in a coffin

Listening to music can be intellectually stimulating-it doesn`t have to be comforting.

It's taken as a given that this applies to other art forms, but music is sometimes releagated to

aural wallpaper.

@pheagles22 anyone who flames this video is really bored and should probably read a book

[Shredlord12345]

@pheagles22 I can't say for sure about the creepy, but how did you know I slept in a coffin?

Ignorant comment. -____-

At first I wondered, which of the pieces this could be. Now I can tell, it's the second half of the Intermezzo (starting at bar 24)

[MarkedByDarkness]

Best thing ever, period.

Many open-minded people also dislike it. There's a reason for that. The average ear is not accustomed to dissonance of this sort, and on this scale. It is hard or impossible to get out of the rut that is Western classical harmony.

I find this music grating and annoying, though I appreciate what it is, and what Schoenberg was trying to do. Free atonality is much more interesting, because it allows for uninhibited expression, whereas the twelve-tone method was/is restrictive.

[juaneco1980]

he escuchado música atonal no sé si dodecafónica pero amenos sin ningún tono definido como messiaen o como se escriba que a pesar de la inconsistencia tonal y de que parece un pan mal amasado que en cuanto lo agarras se desbarata en la mano por que carece de estructura o por que tiene una estructura que no la comprende el oído sino sólo un matemático siempre y cuando NO escuche la música, tiene cierta expresividad, esto sí que es francamente mierda convertida en notas.
