I have an unhealthy obsession with this piece. Peter Schat provocatively imitated the music of the past in order to create a wild virtuosic collage, with an unexpectedly moving ending. But this piece often gets mixed reviews when I perform it live, as this alarming mix of styles tends to provoke quite viscerally strong feelings. What do you think?
It's downright alarming how conventional such a piece from the sixties, then certainly perceived as utterly avant-garde, now already begins to sound. You nearly just as well could keep listening to Bartok. I hope that musical education will keep abreast of this vertiginous development. Otherwise, the youth could be deprived of quite essential set-scenes of a realistic approach to the world.
