Georg Friedrich Haas - AUS.WEG (w/ score) (for ensemble) (2010)

[@benjamin9901]

I just recently started listening to Haas' music, and I'm finding it quite fantastic.

[@oscargill423]

Came here from Fabio Costa. What incredible resonances!

[@chuckallen6487]

My sister, a cello player at the Salzburg Mozarteum, and I are totally fans of yours. Dies Stück hat uns besonders gefallen hauptsächlich aufgrund der viel reichhaltigeren Variation der Instrumenten.

El ensamble de cuerdas hace que la obra resalte muy a la perfección 👏💯

[@meruscales]

Wow this is both beautiful and narratively compelling. Tells such a rich story

[@theclarinetjooddsandends3753]

11:15 wow ! That's some résonances !

[@theclarinetjooddsandends3753]

It makes me think of Charles Ives at times ! Very enjoyable !

[@Cyllaris]

DU DU HAAS

[@mark-j-adderley]

Sofisticated simplicity, or much a-do about, well, not too much ... Nice instrumentation.

[@frankfeldman6657]

well, ya, not much in terms of, whatever, motivic writing, melody, harmony, counterpoint, "ideas". but still kinda compelling. till it isn't, i.e., six or eight minutes.

[@bashirabdel-fattah9499]

@@frankfeldman6657 Bro, modern works like these are both written by and heavily analyzed by highly-educated academics who have devoted their lives to the study of music. While very little of their complexity or ingenuity will come across just listening to them, such works are a highly intellectual affair, and are by no means lacking in ideas.

[@bashirabdel-fattah9499]

@@frankfeldman6657 It reminds me a bit of a joke someone was making in the comments section of a different video of a highly modern work asking for the 400-page philosophical treatise that presumably accompanies the work.

[@Nyarlathotep522114]

I don't see how this is lacking in content/"ideas" just because it doesn't have melodies or "motifs". I also don't think it's only value is as an academic study. It sounds pretty beautiful to me.

[@vatican2397]

Yes! And motivic compositional view-point is not the one and only way of composing and thus it shouldn’t be of analysing either. These comments kinna make me think of conversations such as, for instance, “A: The blue of this shirt is not distinct. B: True. This shirt has no blue .” Uffff… how we like to understand the world - and understand it from the known side of understanding. We often have problems with not to understand it - or understanding it from a side of the unknown. … so (I wonder) - how can we learn anything foe real?

What the fuck is a baritone oboe?

[@Baribrotzer]

It's an instrument an octave below an oboe, it's also in C, it has the same fingering, and it looks like a half-again-as-big English Horn. Most were/are made in France. There's also the rarer, German Heckelphone, which has a larger bore but is otherwise similar, and sounds half-way between an English Horn and a classical tenor sax. And the more recent, also rare, and also German Lupophone, having an additional fourth of range at the bottom but still in C, which resembles a wooden saxophone.

[@sovietfun7892]

totally empty

[@dariocapasso92]

totally wrong

[@lotharlamurtra7924]

Impaired hearing perhaps?

[@ivan-v-morozov]

Do contemporary composers just think there is no more good music to make, so they decide to make music as bad as possible?

[@Baribrotzer]

No, they make music that sounds the way they want it to, even if that isn't the way you want it to.

[@philippehurel1453]

ahahah
