  • Barenboim is a fantastic musician.

  • "There's something worth living for"

    Inspired me to write a song. The man is a joy to listen to

  • It's nice to see Maestro Levine wore his best polo short for this appearance. Did he pull that thing out of the hamper for this interview? He probably has sweat pants on underneath that table, too.

    I'm sorry to say that you did not understand anything of what I've said. Frankly, I cannot call this sequence of sounds with the name of "music". Have you ever heard a fax machine connecting to another one? Can you name it "music". Do me a favor, think about any characteristic of music and try to put it on Carter's "creations", and you will see that it doesn't make any sense.

    How funny that most critics said the exact same thing when Beethoven published his "große Fuge". They called it a piece that was too complex, too messy sounding and too unbalanced.

    But the fact is- Carter is among the composers with the most intense inner coherence. His music may seem inintuitive at first glance, but it is one of the most beautifully crafted things in art.

    And as for his music not being pretty- life itself isn't always pretty. Why neglect this fact in art?

  • Lets face the truth: Elliott Carter creates no music, but a random sequence of sounds with no connection, no melody, no background, no tempo or rhythm and no counterpoint. D. Barenboim is absolutely right about one thing - the complexity. Eliot's creations are really too complex, messy and unpleasant. How dare he put Carter and Beethoven in the same sentence?

    Sorry for being rude, but that's my truth.
