"(...)has ????? as a composer of rare invention and originality"

I´m trying to translate this so that spanish speakers can appreciate this documentary too

could you tell me that missing word please?

thank you for sharing!!!!!

Hi robertronics, sorry i only just saw your post.

....has 'marked him out' (made him stand out) as a composer of rare invention and originality....

Hope this helps!

[timegrinder]

I thought id post this due to the lack of decent Reich material about. This is a South Bank Show featuring interviews with the man himself, analysis of his career and performance and rehearsal footage of his major works (Four Organs, Drumming, 18 Musicians et al).

Enjoy!

Steve Reich is a genius. No question.

'I know when I truly have learned your pieces because they stop hurting... and I can just float through them... I can almost hand glide my way through them... then I am happy'

[NihilTico]

OMG I have the sam piano as Steve Reich!

[Golden Ratio]

That's why Bragg prefixed the claim with ''arguably''.

[marcusunlimited]

Steve is awesome. :)

There`s something about the repetitivness of his music that makes it very suitable for driving music.

White people clapping in time! wow!

[MjoEm32]

I definitely listen to him... but 'greatest composer in the US today'? No - Elliott Carter. And by a country mile.
