@AnAmericanComposer and @BlackMalta, It's important to remember that all of the arts are brothers and sisters. Different forms of music are simpley different interpratations of the same human drive to create which have been costomized to please different imaginations. Beside, Stravinsky and Korsakov were about as "New Age" at one point as "Black Sabeth" is now, the only difference is that they were geniouses, and the head bangers of today are just confused artists, trying to express themselves.

@bookgeek15 This world is crazy. It's overridden by death metal and punk and screamo. People have forgotten the ORIGINAL music, the music where sadly all the bad music was borne from. Nowaday-people are used to "quick, quick, quick! Now Now Now!" and listen to that kind of music to emphasize. Most kids my age are into New-Age music. I'm 14 and proud to say that classical (and jazz) are my absolute favorite music types. bookgeek15, I know exactly how you feel.

7:10... That melody moves me like none other I've heard!

@AnAmericanComposer what do you mean by "New-Age" music?

[Jordarnm]

@AnAmericanComposer Conventions are defied, rules are broken. I love punk, I like a bit of metal, I worship Joanna Newsom - and I love Rimsky-Korsakov, too, and Stenhammar, and Brahms. Speaking of Brahms, Streetlight Manifesto (a ska punk band) used Hungarian Dance No. 5 in the song If And When We Rise Again, and Pachelbel's Canon in On & On & On.

@ccdlate8 too, many of today's artists are also genii, and plenty of classical composers were confused artists, but their work is forgotten.

[Jordarnm]

@AnAmericanComposer So our theatres, once silent, grew vocal, and aristocracy of music gave way to a pernicious theatrocracy...the criterion was not music, but a reputation for promiscuous cleverness and a spirit of law-breaking."

Plato, Laws 700-701a.

Musical conservatism is nothing new, and neither is punk rock. Plato is speaking about a form of music lost to us, older by millennia than anything we now call classical. No doubt it came to be considered classical.

[Jordarnm]

@AnAmericanComposer But later, an unmusical anarchy was led by poets who had natural talent, but were ignorant of the laws of music...Through foolishness they deceived themselves into thinking that there was no right or wrong way in music, that it was to be judged good or bad by the pleasure it gave. By their works and their theories they infected the masses with the presumption to think themselves adequate judges.

[Jordarnm]

@AnAmericanComposer "Our music was once divided into its proper forms...It was not permitted to exchange the melodic styles of these established forms and others. Knowledge and informed judgment penalized disobedience. There were no whistles, unmusical mob-noises, or clapping for applause. The rule was to listen silently and learn; boys, teachers, and the crowd were kept in order by threat of the stick...

@AnAmericanComposer

You are extremely ignorant to music if you believe that death metal, punk, and screamo are "bad music." Categorizing an entire genre of music as bad is refusing to give the people that make it any form of artistic credit, and frankly, I don't believe there is such a thing as a bad genre of music. Poor artists, certainly, but no inherently bad genre of music. You don't have to like it, but at least give the artists that truly believe in such things the credit they deserve.

@ccdlate8 "confused"?...

In this video are located to my mind, two of the most delicate seconds of the entire work, as a conductor.Each time, the moment 3:13 seems always too short to prepare the last "run", and each time, time itself seems to stretch in an abnormal way at the very beginning of the 3rd mov, as though 3:54, 3:55 and 3:56 took for ever to live while you're desperately hoping all first vl shall dare to play this exquisit love duet.

PS: this is in NO way criticism, but mere blabbering.

You nailed Kalendar.
