Beautiful. RIP George Crumb.

[@daveflippo3353]

I heard Crumb's Black Angels when I was a sophomore in school-a piano major at the time- and it made me decide to go into music composition. I ended up doing a twenty page analysis of it for my teachers required four-page analysis assignment.
It seems as if it is from another world...

Is it somewhere to read?😊

[@ETMargraf]

Do you by any chance still have it and would be willing to share it?

Marvelous! This piece seems very hard to play and yet they made an incredibly clean job. Thanks for uploading

My guy on the cello gets a ripping amount of overtones out of bowing the gong. So awesome. Wonderful performance

[@Paul49Giloi]

I'd like to get this but I simply can't. I guess I'm not sophisticated enough. Is this a case of "The Emperor's New Clothes"?

[@f.p.2010]

@@Paul49Giloi maybe try while reading the score, if that's possible?

[@SarahCattell]

Sent me into psychosis🥲

[@Aquarian-t8p]

@@Paul49Giloi Everyone’s different. “Black Angels” was written by Crumb about the Vietnam War, and the “electric insects” he refers to in the score are attack helicopters (the screeching sounds of the violins in the beginning).

Why is this piece so weirdly beautiful dark and mysterious creepy but greeny

It’s about the Vietnam War, so…

R.I.P. Robert Crumb.

It’s George Crumb, the composer, not Robert (R.) Crumb, the cartoonist.

Vale George Crumb (6/2/22)

[@bunebone]

yay

[@beth_levin_piano]

Stunning!

[@cobblestonegenerator]

Amazing! Gotta love Crumb. I wanna smack those coughers on the back of the head though. Is it that hard to wait till a loud section to cough? It seems they specifically wait for the absolute most silent of places. Any way, props to this quartet for pulling of this ridiculous piece.

[@TillerInstinct]

They were coughing during the loud parts, too. But you couldn’t hear them. 😆

[@christopherhill2786]

and they travel around the world looking for the quietest sections!

[@susanbryant6516]

Coughing isn’t always under concious control

I would love to hear the sarabande at the end.. but I didnt.

[@paulsviola]

It's not meant to be played at the end. It's an optional alternative to No. 6

are you saying the composer did that?

It was in "The Exorcist" before that...
