  • @Lukecash12 i agree, very observant.. not too many appreciate the genius in this!!!

  • I first heard his transcendental étude 10 and hated it. I just by chance stumbled back into Sorabji through reading about Marc Hamelin. What an amazing composer! His harmony is atonal and unexpected yet beautiful. So much more organic than Schoenberg and the Viennese.

  • Initially I was turned off completely by Sorabji's OC and his shenanigans like etude no.9, but this is beautiful despite a lot of atonality. Nice, I'm glad I gave him another chance.

  • Lovely music :)

  • @georgecziffra haha, that's only for four-part harmony in adjacent voices anyway

  • Finally sorabji is not a metal riffer

  • @lovesGenet Yeah, and even your "Messiah" Boulez has abandoned his radical anti-tonal music à la Deuxième Sonate and instead composed much more impressionistic music like Dérive 2 or Sur Incises, so I'd think it best for you to shut your mouth up and stop spreading hogwash all over YouTube.

  • @lovesGenet Unless time will cease to exist, all music is inherently "old-fashioned", for one day it won't be contemporary anymore. Why, then, do you bother even listening to anything?

  • i could listen to sorabji all day
