I must say I find this film somewhat unfortunate. To make it interesting to the great American public, they brought in Dave Brubeck rather than focus on a major 20th century composer, with forty-plus years of music to talk about. The middle brow thing of having culture but only in a diluted form. But thank you for the upload.

In those days it was different, now we would like to see a documentary or interview with only Milhaud. It’s also a pity the original is kept in such a bad sound quality, but perhaps the makers at that time didn’t realize it was important.

If only someone would make a movie about Beethoven that is worthy of his greatness. This movie is most definitely not it.

Magnifique, even though the dialogue was heavily scripted. Hard to imagine Oakland and Santa Barbara used to look like that before they were despoiled. But more to the point, why does Brubeck's trumpet player think he can empty his spit valve on the Milhaud's floor @14:00?

We were glad to be there and especially this soulful improvisation on the Dutch national Anthem impressed us a lot. This ability seems to be vey strange. Investigations in a MRI Scan learned that during her improvisation not the "normal" part of the brain where music making comes from is active but in a part of her brain from an entirely other area! Thanks for placing this moment!
