Freud and the Arts: Lecture III

[@karensilver8853]

I love Mahler and I am so grateful for this lecture. Dimitrijevic really gets and loves Mahler's work and it's so good to hear the music and the narrative together.

[@leanmchungry4735]

This Mahler, Freud material is fascinating, Dr Dimitrijevic's passion for music and art reveal insight into Freud's predilections and Mahler's compositions.

Thank you awesome Alexandar dimitrijvic

[@KevinKindSongs]

brilliant, this guy needs to speak/write more

[@fredwelf8650]

If anyone knows, can you give the Mahler selections?

[@adamszymanski5573]

He's a really good lecturer

boring to be honest

[@anhumblemessengerofthelawo3858]

@@Khameesrahbani _a person should never be bored. It indicates merely dullness of intellect. Yet a sharp mind _*_FORMS VISUAL IMAGES_*_ that cut through and transcend boredom. This is, likewise, how prisoners survived concentration camps. Whenever I hear that someone is bored, I think that that person is ... a dullard. Trust me, my friends, there is a far greater possibility in you than the expression of ... idleness. Don't be weak! Be creative. It's YOUR mind after all -- and YOU ARE IT'S RULER. These are universal statements not necessarily directed at you. End of sermon._

_also, clearly not a fan of Mahler_

Fantastic lecture .

[@drgopalbhatia79]

Good

[@QuantumZebra]

So Tchaikovsky is after Mahler even though he was born twenty years earlier?

i think it's safe to say that freud was an asshole, but why?! your lecture on the topic has been amazing, thank you for what you do; it's means a lot. i can't really go back to school (we're in a pandemic!) but it's great to learn. thank you once again for providing a valuable resource.

You are good, but to be an effective internet lecturer, you have to stop asking questions from the audience, and say what you have to say.

[@johnbelingheri3438]

I think you are lucky to have this-it wasn’t made for internet but is a filmed lecture

[@anarchoskum]

Nieverst Thrax I like the Q/A --- just wish I could hear what the audience comments tho

[@anhumblemessengerofthelawo3858]

_you are a good KZbin armchair commenter, but to be very efficient, you need to reserve criticisms, saying ONLY what is good._ _see how that works_

[@3tI8P-lj2lo]

Just not true!!!!!!!!!!!! Dvorak (1841-1904), Brahms (1833-1897), Edvard Grieg (1843-1907), ... all based symphonic music on folk themes. Any why has Brahms not been mentioned as an influence on Mahler as he was THE successor to Beethoven in the Viennese School ... if you went to a symphony in 1880 you would have heard Brahms, if not the rest, not just Beethoven. Please team up with a musicologist. This is really interesting, but badly scarred by a very poor understanding of 19th and early 20th century music history!!!!!!!!!!!

[@3tI8P-lj2lo]

And if you want to listen to biographical music of great physological depth listen, really listen and contemplate Brahm's Ein Deutches Requiem. And that was premiered in 1869!

[@3tI8P-lj2lo]

I am not saying this as someone who does not like Mahler. I have performed his worked many, many times and find it some of the deepest, most introspective music I have encountered. He is in my pantheon of Western composers. I just ask that you revise your lecture/writing with a deeper understanding of others who preceded him or were his contemporaries. This is not to detract from Mahler's profound gifts to us, rather to see a more accurate and richer context.
