Aldo Clementi: music, machines and illusions

[@mykeektube]

He was my mother’s true love. ❤️ He passed the day after her birthday.

They were so in love, but my mother left Italy to return to Norway and he married her Swedish friend. They saw each other in Rome in 2009. A storybook romance for sure.

This is fascinating! Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together. I'm going to go back a second time to digest some of this. I am not very familiar at all with Aldo Clementi, so you have opened a door for me, and I appreciate that. I will also look for your paper on Clementi. Very interesting, and inspiring. Thanks again! 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks Charles. Clementi is very underrated because he fell out of the mainstream of the avant garde movements, an oxymoron to be sure. I just added the link to the article. I can also send it to you as pdf if you want, [e-mail], feel free to reach out.

Thank you once again for a very interesting video. The idea that music is a dead art made me think of a story I once read. I think that it is in "Style and Idea", a collection of essays by Arnold Schoenberg. He tells of a meeting between Mahler and Brahms. They were standing on a bridge when Brahms, lamenting the changes in music said to Mahler that music was dead. Mahler pointed to the water and said "Yes... and there is the last wave".

Clementi was looking for an excuse to dismiss the modernist nonsense in a way that made sense poetically and eschatologically . I don't think he really believe that...

@@MicheleZaccagnini I thought he may have been choosing a polemical position to shake things up a bit, to get people to think, react.
