I'm not sure I agree with you. While Carter was fortunate to have a private income, I imagine he earned a living also from his music, performed by many of the foremost classical ensembles in the world, and receiving constant commissions. In any case, he was 84 when he wrote this, so definitely pensionable!
@@ContemporaryClassical well, I think I do agree a bit. Carter's economic privilege definitely allowed him to travel to europe, have the freedom to compose early on in life without needing to take a full-time teaching job or take commissions for much of his young adulthood. The thing is that *IT DOESNT MATTER. the commenter is implying is that this makes his music illegitimate or bad, *which it doesn't. Mozart also had a lot of privilege, but that doesn't stop people from appreciating his work. Good music is good music.
Carter at his most lyrical
Thank you, thank you for sharing.
Impressive! This could not be easy to perform.

The kind of music you can only produce when your parents have stupendous amounts of money.
Which is why composing is not my primary profession! 🤪
If it's good music, then it's good music. At least a few people seem to think so for this piece.
