@4578a 'One thought being an entire universe'
perfectly put. A master of the most subtle motivic manipulation.

@Iatgotg Whatever,let's hear your compositions.

What is 'ironic' about that?
I think you probably just used the wrong word but I dont see any difference between musicians performing the works of either modern and living composers or classical works from composers long gone.
This music is meant to be performed by groups or orchestras which might not be in direct connection to the composer, 300 years ago. And today.

gorgeous! great basslines.

It's ironic seeing people do the works of composers like David lang who make new music rather than doing the works of previous composers. This sounds good though,although it's a little off in places maybe or i was just hearing things. I mean normal people would hear this and just think it's off. Anyway this is an incrediblely hard piece to play even though it's really simple too. It's amazing how he makes each repetition sounds unique. One thought being an entire universe.

David Lang: In Cheating, Lying, Stealing, although phrased in a comic way, I am trying to look at something dark. There is a swagger, but it is not trustworthy. In fact, the instruction on the score for how to play it says: Ominous funk.
TRULY BRILLIANT.

Can someone please explain the title?
Is there something that is not "above board" here?
I have too little music knowledge to understand beyond the fact that I like this piece.
