Is this a sequenza? If so which one?

[vgpa]

no, this is a stand alone piece, commissioned to Bruggen

[luisalvaz]

and you won the most stupid comment in youtube... please, if you don't like this kind of music, watch and listen something else.

Frans Brüggen is not a musician, but a tone-artist who stays above all the mucisians. He was one of my teachers and I can tell you..... He is The Master of Masters and technically he is way more ok than we all together.

I tried to calm you. Some of us are open minded. They like Bach, Blues, and Berio. Don't worry.

@zzausel

i hope you are right, but i fear that this kind of music has been an enormous mistake and will completely forgotten in the future

[zzausel]

@unagondolaunremo This kind of music is older than 50 years. The roots of Talking Music are many thousands of years old. We don't know how our music would be like without any older music styles. Not even without 12 tone music. I think this piece is rememberable and inspiring.

@BonnieBitch I find this so much boring as Jeff Beck playing old - so old - pieces from thithy, fourty years ago.

[dtjvreeswijk]

Simply awesome.

@knihomol2 its cute how you think this is avant-garde. and no you're right the engineer who designed the train is the true artist

[unagondolaunremo]

in my opinion the mistake has been to think: "it exists an art abstract, it could exhist a music abstract"

but music is ever abstract, but not in this sense, in this way

music needs the memory of the listener, and most of this piece is not rememberable

i fear that in the next 50 years, we will completely forget this kind of music

@P0L0K0P Hi Nephew... :-)

Sometimes music transcends into a level where tonality is not at all important. Tonality is just a term people decided to call the harmonies that please their ears. And as for music, it's all a matter of personal taste. Don't go putting hands down for people who don't like it or putting hands up for people who just simply like its novelty. Accept it for what it is and that the composer and the performer even made the effort to create such a piece for the world to hear.
