there was no 'break down of tonality' as if its some kind of 9/11 event, certain people decided to experiment without it, it still exists today fully intact
yes they do co-exist, but you seem to be falling into the same trap when you say tonality 'has simplified' - its still the same as ever it was, possibly the people using it have become simpler? The great composers were never confined by 'tonality' anyway, whatever that means (Tovey could never understand the word) - perhaps we should substitute 'diatonicism'?
@@chrish12345 Chromaticism is one thing - Bach and many classical composers were very fond of. Twelvetone music on the other side is trying to juggle with the meaningless notes instead of intervals, melodic lines and chords. That's why it all sounds the same.
Very much agree. Stravinsky has a great comment on tonality and 'atonality' , basically he just meant that the word 'atonality' is merely a idiotic invention, the same as words such as 'revolution' ,because it has never attached to the very essence of music (even the very essence of humanity i think). Stravinsky himself carried very much respect to Schoenberg.
Ask to Bach if he was writing tonal music 😂 it s a nonsense question and Boulez knows that. Tonality and atonality are just analytic words so Barenboim s question is for a large public audience in a pedagogic way otherwise the question is stupid. Art is evolution form the beginning I don’t think pre historic musicians were tonal so evertything is passing everything is changing but everything is connected
Boulez was a great analyst,great conductor and a mediocre composer. Serialism is no more than a useless extrapolation of the 12 tone system. The entire Darmstadt school was a bunch of arrogant and condescending composers that were convinced they were the iluminatti. I believe Serialism IS a dark period in music history.
His piano musics are debatably disastrous(except notations), true, but the orchestral (and musics using another instruments) works after he abandoned integral serialistic method are just phenomenal in my opinion, (for example, Notations, Anthemes 2, Messagesquisse, etc) and i think people should try these works out rather than trying listening to 'Structure' of his. But the musical taste of each people can differ. However, I suggest you and other people who are reading this to try the works not using integral serialism of Boulez without prejudice.

How much I have learnt from these two Great Men! Thanks for sharing!
Two of my favourite conductors.
Me too!
two incredible maestros..... I enjoyed that a lot
what a great document for the future of music.
Yes! Indeed!
13:30 Wagner, Bayreuth, Parsifal. I was there, my father "James King" sang Parsifal. A very interesting era!
James King had an exceptional, deep, delicate, wonderful voice, Dave, you've a chance such a father!
@@pierocells He certainly did.
Nice to see singers! I belonged to several choirs, but never saw my partners singing, it's great!
a tip: you can watch series on Kaldrostream. Been using it for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Watson Odin definitely, been watching on kaldroStream for since november myself =)
le grand pierre !
"Le Grand Pierre!" =
"The great 'Pierre' " =the man's Name!
Love listening to Boulez' analysing. Not in love listening to his music.

I also like Tristan and the Meister singer
why are they both speaking at 1500bpm?
What is the meaning of "zeitgenössisch"? Almost all of the "Avantgarde" composers are dead already.
@@Tbop3 Die Mindesthaltbarkeit dieser Musik ist abgelaufen ^^
20 min? Why?
I doubt if Barenboim understood all the words Boulez said.
I don't think there's any problem : Am French! (ah ah!)

I despise the musical compositions of Boulez. Purely atonal music is no longer music at all. Schoenberg even said that music is not how it sounds.
Boulez was a great analyst,great conductor and a mediocre composer. Serialism is no more than a useless extrapolation of the 12 tone system.
The entire Darmstadt school was a bunch of arrogant and condescending composers that were convinced they were the iluminatti.

Mediocre composer? Any citation/valid proof to support your lowly argument?

The problem with the internet is that people like you are allowed to write idiocies and get them published.
