obviously anything you say is your opinion...but why the need to put something down just because you don't like it? i know you are one of the most helpful and music smart dudes on KVR, but going out of your way to put down something kind of cheapens that somewhat...it's like cutting down country or "tarnce", you are putting yourself on one side of a fence...Sascha Franck wrote:Well, I don't think I need to add an IMO to all those subjective posts, do I?Voidoid Surrealist wrote: Glad to know that you're the authority on what "properly played" music is.

In 1826, a year before his death, Beethoven gave the world the String Quartet Opus 130 which had as its final movement this challenging little bit of music, the Grosse Fugue.
Such was the enthusiasm expressed 180 years ago by folks listening to a 50 minute string quartet with this as its finale that Beethoven wrote a new last movement, a little easier on their ears, and made the Grosse Fugue into a separate Opus 133, although in the current repertoire it's often performed as he originally intended it.

When the work was first performed the audience demanded encores of only two of the middle movements of the quartet. Beethoven, enraged, was reported to have growled, "And why didn't they encore the Fugue? That alone should have been repeated! Cattle! Asses!":hihi:
Most 19th century critics dismissed the work. Daniel Gregory Mason called it "repellent", and Louis Spohr called it, along with the rest of Beethoven's late works, an "indecipherable, uncorrected horror". However critical opinion of the work has risen steadily since the beginning of the 20th century. The work is now considered among Beethoven's greatest achievements. Igor Stravinsky said of it, "[it is] an absolutely contemporary piece of music that will be contemporary forever."-Wikipedia

You know (while I don't want to spoil this thread with some OT blurb, hmm...), really, for me, that's fine. I don't have to be objective towards all styles of music, and most free jazz (which I actually had to sort of study during music history classes) is something I just can't get along with.Chuck E.

Yeah, I could've used a slightly different wording - but hey, after all, this is KVR.
And I don't have a problem being on one side of whatever fence at all.
