18:18 to the end is such a beautiful moment. At first, a reflection on this scary and uncertain world. And then all of a sudden "oh look at this little dog". 🥰 Crumb is full of surprises, just like his music.
"In Bach's time they were fiddling around with this stuff." Wonderful casual way of seeing the history of music. Thank you for sharing this little gem. Wish there was more of this. 20th Century music needs way, way, way, way more attention.
What a pleasure and a relief in these times to hear a balanced and intelligent artist talk about his work.I remember first hearing Ancient Voices of Children in the 70s which set me on a path of discovering much 20th century music.A beautiful soul who will be missed.
Very sad news today... Crumb is dead. He was, in my opinion as a composer, the best North-American composer together with John Cage... I knew him personally in the 1980 when I was a student at the University here in Sao Paulo... Just sad... (Flo Menezes, from Sao Paulo).
Uma verdadeira lição de vida metódica e criativa. George Crumb rompeu muitos paradigmas musicais relacionados ao trítono e o cromatismo. Um gênio incontestável da contemporaneidade!!!!
gorgeous scores - used to use drawing templates like those he shows and rapidographic drafting pens with proprietary cartridges - the tips needed cleaning often - his Japanese pens are smarter - later went to pencil - white out for corrections is so messy - later did a musique concrète piece called Dog Start, built entirely on real audio from my dog, the one in my ID logo - as for space, wrote a piece called Comet Crash 9 - inspired by the crash of comet Shoemaker Levy 9 into Jupiter, initiated while it was happening - weird coincidences - as a grad student in the 70s was intensely inspired by Crumb
What he says at the end, "This dog has a better life than us composers," I know is a joke. But do we composers or aspiring composers of contemporary music really have such a dark future?

RIP George, one of the greatest american composers.
Wow, not only was he a composer, but he was also an artist with how he drew his artistic, intricate scores by hand!
As an artist and acomposer, I've always seen Crumb as a composer. Seeing the beauty of his scores, I daresay he's an artist as well.
Rest in peace George Crumb!

Love to the maestro, and all who loved him.

Que prazer deve ter sido conhecer ele.
Muito triste, que sua música continue viva!
Such a great man!
Looking great for 90! So grateful for his music.
This is such an invaluable video, and so little known.
Vale George Crumb - a gentle, modest genius.
I always wonder if Crumb did the engraving himself. And now I know he did. This is the video I am so glad Zac made before the composer passed.

So prescius, so much fun! At Cornell, he said that he loooved the appogiaturas at Puccini! (he demonstrated 9-8 at the piano)
A real poet...
Thank you for this
I’m so lucky my father is one of his best students this is not brag, this is pride
who is your daddy?

what's the name of the piece he's playing at 9:00?
Music for a Fractal enlightenment! One of my biggest influence. Ps,, I love chromatic tone clusters, Ives caught on ,I can’t blame him.

It's certainly less intellectually taxing for dogs to exist than for composers to exist...I am one of the latter.

What a pity his brain couldn't get the concept of music............................................
stop being so disrespectful, if you don't like it don't listen to it.
Yours yes?
What a pity you have no brain at all............................................
