very striking with those octave doublings and tonal elements everywhere! at the pitch level this sounds almost nothing like Ferneyhough usually does

Woa another Ferneyhough upload :D

If played for me unawares, i would never guess, Ferneyhough. Admittedly, i am not a devoted listener of his the way i am of other Americans. This is rather tame by comparison with his string quarters.

The notation is seductive, and the piece sounds terrific. Those might be two separate things. Or not. Either way, I like what I hear. To anyone who disagrees with me: I don't give a f***. I've got no time for you.

This work shows jazz influence.

Cant believe all the ferneyhough hate. This for sure isn’t one of this best pieces- but I still think some of the ideas inside this are really good. String Trio and early quartets are much better, however in my opinion.

To me, there are two problems, I mean real problems. First, the guy writes anything he wants, and that is ok, but doesn't look like real heart felt music. Second, if you dare say exactly this, you are bashed like nazis in 1945. What I find interesting is that you say that some of his pieces are more interesting than others. That is positive. But in this case, not at all convincing.

If you don't want to listen to Ferneyhough, then don't, move on and do something that you want to do with your life, listen to the music that you like. And large part of the criticism is not mild like "it's not heartfelt music", it's often some vile disgusting personal attack on Brian.

@@cantatanoir6850 Apparently, you try to convince the readers that I am extremely immature and childish and weak. Listen carefully : this is not true. Curiously, and ONLY when talking about this kind of "superior" music, I get about the same message, never any other : "you don't have brain enough". While there could be an interesting debate about this. My best argument is : replace the signature "Ferneyhough" by the signature "Stéphane Collin" and everything collapses. Even you.

Ah, and... I don't know Brian Ferneyhough. Maybe he is a very nice guy. I don't like his music, even less the fact that people who do claim they like it use it to tell other people they have no brain. Why is this not the case with, say, Morton Feldman ? While he was friend wit Cage who was friend with Scnoenberg ? I know. You don't want me to tell you.

Good old Brian never stops writing about his kitchen sink's leaks problem! Seems than even this time the plumber didn't get it right though

Quite like the sound of this piece, but the notation is just off-the-wall. No way the notated rhythms can be executed accurately . . . And who would notice?

Ferneyhough's "music" has to be some sort of inside joke that he is having with himself, a performance art piece in itself lasting decades.

I call this imposture. Curiously, all imposters in modern music are related to one of these : Schoenberg, Stockhausen, Boulez, Berio, Cage, ... How the hell those people could have had such a (relative) influence ? Ok they were in their own country at the command for public money to be sent to musicians (at least, those obeying their rules).

@@stephanecollin Schoenberg taught for years at UCLA. He had the ability to brainwash hundreds of music students and teach them his 12 tone method. But instead he taught them classical counterpoint. Taught them how to write fugues, canons, etc. He also wrote a couple of textbooks, all about classical counterpoint and classical harmony. So his supposed propaganda was only targeted at a handful of guys. Private students who were paying him money and who could stop taking lessons from him at any time and find another teacher. When Schoenberg started writing freely atonal music in 1908, he did not have a doctrine. He was guided by his ear and his compositional instinct. Add to that his famous quotes about there still being thousands of pieces to be written in C major. No, Schoenberg was not a propagandist. He hardly had any institutional power, and what little power he had he didn't use to propagandise his method. If you read his biography and his essays, letters and diaries, you will find out how genuine he was about music.
