Corigliano addresses the staff of the Pittsburgh Symphony with an interesting historical perspective of concert music and composer-audience relationship.

Agreed 100%. As a professional musician who was one of Mr. Corigliano's students in real life, I know where music is going, but it's quite pretentious the way he explained what he said, like Capthook felt.

@capthook1 So true, and the way he explains it is completely wrong. "People wrote all this music because the ensembles didn't have anything to play." Really, there were just these groups of musicians sitting around with nothing to do? It's also nice that he assumes all the musicians in the audience don't know where music is going... kind of a rude attitude if you ask me.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not really sure that a professional symphony needs a music history lecture on the history of the orchestra. Way too pretentious of a presentation from a composer a mediocre music.

Would really like to hear where he went with this, but the audio-video clip is not complete. Now what?
