Today (or rather, yesterday) one of the oldest and most important composers of the 20th Century died. I won't go into biographical details, if you are even remotely interested you can go here and read up a bit on him: www.nytimes.com/2012/11/06/arts/music/elliott-carter-avant-garde-composer-dies-at-103.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0He was basically as old as the 20th century (-8 years). I really don't expect anyone to enjoy his music, but I'm going to post it anyway out of respect or something. I'm not going to link the second part because ...yeah I figure it won't be necessary. Any discussion on the matter is welcome though. |

Fine, due to unprecedented popular demand, here is the continuation of String Quartet #2.

Also an interesting quote from him which I totally did not steal off reddit.  |

I was disappointed by the first half, but listening to that second half changed everything.

No way Michael! What was it about the second part that made you change your mind exactly? Give specific times from the video!

I like what he did with the violin at 6:18.

Michael that's literally the part of the piece that was supposed to depict Hitler. You're (still) a terrible person. Also Stephanie hgj fgj sounds nothing like this.

I only listened because you said Hitler. Also, this is shit. I'm kind of glad his composing days are over.

Wait when did I say Hitler? And  I'm sorry you find it shit, it's not my favourite either, but he was such a nice old man don't be mean to him (( Did you listen to the second half like Michael? Perhaps you'd have had a similar change of mind as well? |
