  • you are a true composer.Please do an analyses of this piece giving chords, modulations and the structure you use.There are many composers worldwide who would love this

  • This guy obviously has no clue of what's going on. "To me, expression is always the most important aspect of music": well, duh, expression is inherent to music. And him saying that cutting-edge music is hostile... I mean, it might by hostile to a borderline mind like his, but a person in his position shouldn't say stupid shit like that.

  • A smart man.

  • I really like that "not letting go" idea of no breaks beetween movements I've always hear that in Mr, Rouse's music, but never really wondered why he did it.

  • my favorite living composer...his music is so incredible, it is still and always will be about tonality which makes great music not absolute chaos and a experimentation

  • i like his honesty, but what is the difference between gripping someone, getting their attention and making them angry, if can distinguish between the two, i don't think you can; Rouse's music provokes anger in all the things it refuses to be; committed to a larger humanistic, well OK
