  • @AnOrganCornucopia We have Schoenbergs Five Pieces as set works on our GCSE, trust me he was even more amusing about them :P

  • messaien's use of contrast between consanance and dissonance is brilliant.

  • @TheYorkshireJack - if that's what he thought, he clearly never heard Schoenberg's Variations on a Recitative - makes Messiaen sound like Elgar in his huge, sweeping melodies by comparison... though Messiaen IS FAR from un-melodic...

  • I love this, but some of the comments remind me of my head of musics' opinion of Messiaen "someone could write more melodic music if they took to the organ wearing skis and mittens" :P

  • Esto es ruido!

  • @rematpac why don't you check his opus dates the you will know !!!

  • @Shredlord12345 Thanx.

  • @rematpac You haven't been correct since the 17th century. Give the world a rest.

  • @rematpac I apologize. I misunderstood your first post. I thought you were trying to say that no good music was written after world war 2 thus I called you an ignorant prick lol. Again, I apologize...

  • @Shredlord12345 (???) The fact that it turns out I was correct proves that it couldn't have been too seriously ignorant of a comment.
