Conversation between Edward Said and Daniel Barenboim, part 2

[@paulwhetstone0473]

I love the way this dialogue ended with Daniel saying the simple in music is more beneficial than the bombastic.

Me preocupa, que siendo su idioma natal "español" y el 3er idioma mundial se trasmite en idiomas ajenos a la mayoría de los hispanos. Aspiramos que nos coloquen SUBTÍTULOS en español.......!!! Nos interesan muchísimo las entrevistas de los mejores pianistas junto a Martha Argerich.!!!

Lastima ! No entendemos todos el Inglés. Perder una conversación como está es penoso

@rachel36ify Would you care to provide the resources for your assertations?

If Said EVER knew what Israel is now doing to Palestine and its people, he would be horrified beyond words. It is a good thing he departed when he did.

u can't say that music is amoral ...

[@fayz44awad]

maybe .. sometimes

@@johnmulligan455 LOL, exactly (unless it's propoganda)

[@Ded_Silu]

It depends for which purpose it is used. That is, the misapplication of music.

[@andrewbalio782]

Edward Said, trying very hard to work the usual CRT structures of power in to Beethoven's works. Barenboim, not having any of it.

[@sor715]

It's a discussion and not an argument. And it wasn't "the usual CRT" - he was working with ordinary concepts within music we all think about. The role of classical music within nationalism is undeniable.

[@dorfmanjones]

They were merely dealing with associations that music can have with events that lie outside of it: martial. ceremonial, erotic, mocking, whatever. CRT in 1999. Really? You don't think that's a stretch?

[@rhiyabhattacharyya880]

​@@dorfmanjonesSaid was doing a lot around CRT by 1999, considering his one of the most famous work Orientalism being released in 1978 itself. So, it's pretty obvious for him to direct his arguments towards critical theories.
