Music: a little schoolin
« on: June 15, 2009, 12:31:40 am »
For those not familar or knowing, though music has had a long relationship with the visual, it wasn't until Richard Wagner (as in, Vag-ner) that there was such dramatic pretense, and it is this source that is the grandfather of all American culture is familiar with in mixed media, particularly TV and movies.

Below is a very sweet piece by Arnold Schoenberg, performed, curiously, by once-darling of 'classical music', Hilary Hahn. Unlike chumps like Yo-Yo Ma, she has cast off the mainstream production company bindings (in this case, Sony, though of course she had to go with a GERMAN - that is, European - one) and is doing some decent music. However, it's still pretty ---smurfin--- old. This was composed in 1936.

People often confuse expressed observations with complaint, ridicule, or - even worse - self-pity.

Hm, nobody called me on the specifics that I didn't say she was performing it, and that it was composed by someone else. Edited accordingly.
