Sometimes I'm somewhat irked by his tune-like gestures (3rd Symphony, String Quartet etc) and some of the forms but overall I think he's great.<br /><br />I don't feel that many composers have followed up on his ad libitum techniques either, at least not as artistically. <br /><br />It is a good solution in terms of enabling players to perform complex textures without masses of rehearsal or specialisation.E.L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02232306072911100828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-623231205866805196.post-80352770705828219502011-01-31T18:48:01.717-08:002011-01-31T18:48:01.717-08:00I was fortunate enough to attend some of those reh...I was fortunate enough to attend some of those rehearsals as part of a masters class, and even sat onstage while he rehearsed his Third Symphony. He autographed my score for the Third, which we were allowed to photocopy for the class. Still have it!<br /><br />He was quite polite, soft-spoken, and had a surprising energy for his age, no doubt from hearing his new piece being played.John Blackburnhttp://www.weetwo.org/john/noreply@blogger.com
