When all is said and done about Ives’ revolutionary technique and imagination, what still matters most to me is that this music has heart, in abundance.

[@RedZed1974]

As I get older and more experienced, I begin to understand Charles Ives a lot more. So revolutionary for the time! He was a precursor/way paver for so much...including ambient music/soundscapes (Central Park in the Dark, The Unanswered Question....)

[@johnappleseed8369]

The Rite Of Spring AND Rhapsody In Blue, then Messiaen in the last movement before any of them existed existed

[@DeflatingAtheism]

The resemblance to Messiaen is really uncanny! I was always an Ives fan, but I've never heard this piece before!

[@johnappleseed8369]

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH!!!!!!!! Ives was incomparably innovative!

[@MooPotPie]

Not to mention inventing Gershwin in the 2nd movement . . .

[@johnappleseed8369]

MooPotPie Yes, that bit is a real ear worm!

[@zacharydetrick7428]

John Appleseed, I have seen your name a lot this year. We must have very similar tastes in music!

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

Still modern after 110 years! The polymeters give us a whole different sense of musical time. He was the Tesla of music; all by himself, way out in left field.

[@Philhamm]

Ives was insanely good at his craft.

[@lylecohen1638]

Really interesting to compare the first movement, In The Cage, to his song, The Cage, which it is basically an orchestration of, and also to compare the second movement, In The Inn, with the movement of the same name from his first piano sonata.

[@AbstractASMR1]

wow never heard this piece...always new weird stuff on ytube...thx for the upload!!!

[@ptose]

I seriously think that In the night is one of the most haunting pieces ever

[@zacharydetrick7428]

YEAH BOIIIII using 5/16 and 7/16 in 1911!

[@vdavis7509]

Love the expansiveness of this. Genius.

[@jacksonp2397]

You can tell how much this has influence jazz especially in the first section

[@zacharydetrick7428]

This rocks!

[@docbailey3265]

I can never tell if Ives was being serious or if he was just pulling our chains. He music is effective either way.

[@JOHN-tk6vl]

Not really very musical.

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

phantastique

[@jslasher1]

Yes, there is some Gershwin here. Oh, my!

[@RedZed1974]

Totally! I heard it right off the bat.

[@guilhemmariotte]

completely agree!

[@samuelmincarelli5051]

No, there is Ives in Gershwin.

[@tomn9094]

Zappa too.

[@AmericanIdiot2002]

A little bit of quarter tone pieces in the second movement
