on 1:04. It's because we dislike unstable sounds. And it's not that if notes are closer, we don't like it, it's because it becomes unstable. And notes can sound good more closely, it's just that the piano cannot play those intervals. Playing closer and closer, it'll first sound more and more unstable, then it'll become stable again going even more close.
Pianist plays a couple of dissonant clusters "Why is this not music?" - I absolutely reject that question. Free Jazz and modern classical music is built around clusters such as those and both absolutely ARE styles of music ^^
@Schraupe Absolutely! There is likely more mathematical structures in the music of Anton Webern, Milton Babbitt, and Elliott Carter than in more "tonal" music.
