MASTERCLASS IN TENSION // Alfred Schnittke - Viola Concerto // Composer Reaction & Analysis

[@progperljungman8218]

One thing dawned on me: ALL slides on string instruments automatically include micro tones. Must be the most common use of microtonality. But the slower the sliding is, the more prevalent the micro tones get.

It's funny you mention that. I'm sure you're gonna get a kick out of the discussion on Thursday's video

Opposing movements could be Opeth(?) Or maybe just opposing harmonies(?)

So, dissonant classical suits you better than electric guitars mimicking alarms and sirens huh? You conservative snob! Seriously, I enjoyed this quite a bit (more too). The romantic style/moods paired with/contrasted to the tense dissonance makes for an excitement and nerve that either couldn't fix on it's own. I heard some iteration of Stravinsky's Rites of Spring in there as well. And you didn't get to all escape alarm sound mimicry here either 😅

I hadn't made the connection between this and Scarcity -- this is definitely a dissonant day for the channel 😅 Also you got a chuckle out of me with that first line. :)
