Members 1001gear Posted March 30, 2020 Members Share Posted March 30, 2020 What does that actually mean? There's not a lot of silence in Mozart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gardo Posted March 30, 2020 Author Members Share Posted March 30, 2020 What do you mean ? He's been silent for a long time You write or play a note, and then where does the next one come from? The silence. But only if we're listening for it. Otherwise, our playing becomes a stream of run-on sentences that has no meaning. No subtlety. No breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeepEnd Posted March 31, 2020 Members Share Posted March 31, 2020 So if I don't play at all that's music? (Granted, some folks would say it's preferable to my playing but still...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Grant Harding Posted March 31, 2020 Members Share Posted March 31, 2020 The music is in the combination of notes and silent parts man. Like yin and yang, good and evil, Cheech and Chong. 🙏☯️☮ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been silent for a long time That's because now he is de-composing... But GH is right, there has to be a balance, or it is all just buzzing. For our ears and brains to really grasp melodic art, it needs to have time between notes, to allow us to process, to absorb...and digest, and react...listening is not the same as hearing...

Members Daniel_91au Posted April 18, 2020 Members Share Posted April 18, 2020 You can watch all three movements in the video. The idea here is that life is music and when this is performed the effect is the crowd is suddenly very aware of everything around them. Each time this piece is performed it is going to create a very unique experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
