Superb.
Philip Glass music is as empty and cheesy as Paulo Coelho philosopphy, but snobs all over the
World love them.
I know what you mean, but at least it's an unmistakeable and intentional style. I enjoy the large soundscapes on Glassworks, and there is *something* engaging about Glass's simple, varying repitions. But generally, I agree with you. oh well, still good. pretty song, no doubt.
You have to have patience to look beyond the cheese and past the simplicity. This piece really needs to be heard in its entirety for it to properly make sense. A lot of his things are about the long view and how the little things fit along the way and become playful.
@@JamesMGarrenisme To tell you the truth, I regretted my comment about two minutes after I posted it. I knew my comment was dishonest, and that I was putting on a "show of tastes". Frankly, I like Phillip Glass, and even more frankly, it doesn't matter if I like Bach or Beethoven more---he's undeniably excellent.
I've listened to this song in it's entirety before (and plenty more of Glass's pieces over the years, too), and your point about giving the song time for all the little themes to build-up and become 'playful' resonates well. There is an almost rue-goldberg machine quality to his pieces. Something very deterministic and almost automatic sounding, but like the Rue-Goldberg machine, there's a distinct humor and joy underpinning all the intertwining movements.
@@JamesMGarrenisme I listened to some Glass songs performed on the Harp a couple days ago-----really well-suited to the song.
Thanks for your comment, btw, I am better for having read it.
@@joeessig3550Philip glass’s piano compositions are objectively excellent, i can understand not enjoying it or choosing not to listen to it, but I can’t imagine thinking it’s outright cheesy and bad
