just a word regarding some of these comments: i don’t believe the title to be derogatory at all and i think Orson would have really enjoyed this talk and would agree with the title - it’s meant to be inflammatory or provocative- both of these men have great love and respect for the man as is obvious with this talk. thank you both - just wanted to put my 2 cents in. those who are angry about the title don’t know orson.

I've tried playing this transcription and it's way more difficult than it sounds. The voicing is almost impossible to get right, for me. Also one needs to keep a steady waltz pulse while using a very flexible rubato. Lines can very easily break apart here, or sound contrived and tacky. Amazing job by Mr Gerstein! 👍

Grazie! Molto bello e spiegato con chiarezza. Il collegamento dell'interpretazione musicale e del fraseggio alla recitazione teatrale, particolarmente a quella improvvisata, caratteristica sia dei moderni comici che degli attori - improvvisatori della "Commedia dell'arte" rinascimentale è identico a quello raccomandatocda Vincenzo Galilei nel "Dialogo della musica antica e moderna" (1581). COMPLIMENTI!

The people are taking the title WAY TOO SERIOUSLY!!! Simon Callow clearly adores Orson, as do I, as does everyone here in the comments. Simon is looking at the work of a raging genius with a very clear eye. After Ambersons, the rest of the life was full of wonderment but way too much chasing after things the director and star of Citizen should never have had to worry about. And to have only been able to make barely two films in 20 years at the end of his life is a tragedy for all of us.

Wells’ so-called “Negro” Macbeth was not “dramas from Africa” as this person states … rather it was the true story of Haiti and Haitians and the Haitian Revolution… right? Wells himself famously said there’s no such thing as history, or something like that, because everyone makes stuff up and you weren’t there and I wasn’t there and this guy wasn’t there so how, after all, can we truly know??? Beautiful. It’s no wonder folks said and still say he was a genius. Wells, not this guy.

Welles didn’t fail on an artistic level, I’m sure Simon would agree with that as he so obviously loves Welles. Welles only mistake was to criticize the elites, in particular William Randolph Hearst in Citizen Kane at the very beginning of his film career. The establishment never forgave Welles for that and he struggled financially there after in his private life and his film projects. Orson survived by being in other people’s films and being in and voicing commercials. He survived against the odds and is still revered today. People like Stanley Kubrick certainly followed Orson’s career and navigated it better than Welles. Kubrick made Dr Strangelove and some how got away with it. Welles did not - those who come first almost always have it hardest.

Orson's career brings to mind a great quote from Star Trek. "It's possible to make no mistakes and still lose." Obviously he never failed completely and still continued to make great challenging art even after the Ambersons debacle but one has to wonder how different things would have been if his fortunes with Hollywood didn't sour and he was permitted to continue on the amazing trajectory he began with Citizen Kane. He was the father of all auteur filmmakers and I find myself reflecting on him more and more as the age of the auteur comes to an end and cinema becomes increasingly empty and commercialized.

Dear Mr. Levin, what you played at the beginning admiring Bach were common thorough-base progressions and schemata, first example modulation b minor to D Major is simply thorough-base progression 6-4-5-1 , than the so called page 1 minimal cadenza at the beginning of the first WTC 1 Prelude. These werr not Bach's "Genius" but common craftsmanship every musician knew at that time. So you are not talking about Bach but about the common music language of the baroque era.
