i love how i can say “20th century russian composer, with early works that are a little more optimistic than his late works, who was fascinated by spirituality, and who at one point kinda fucked up their right hand” and you’d still have no idea which one i was talking about

guys STOP arguing about music eras they’re all unique in their own way!

contemporary era is INTERESTING

modernism is GROUNDBREAKING

romantism is EMOTIONAL

classical

baroque is BEAUTIFUL

that's for orchestral pieces though, in solo pieces the performer decides how long to hold it... which means,,

the chosen conductor isn't needed, Schnittke will rise when we need him the most

‘The grave of the Russian composer Alfred Schnittke in Novodevichye Cemetery in Moscow is surmounted by a stone on which is engraved a rest beneath a fermata with a triple forte noted at the bottom: A very, very loud extended silence.’

- John Biguenet, Silence (London: Bloomsbury, 2015), p.49.

which late 20th century composer should you fight?

Boulez: Fight that fucker. Normally you’d have nearly a 50/50 chance of winning, but with all the pent up hatred all of us secretly have for him, the stress hormones should make it easy for you! His music just... idk, it sounds punchable. Do. It.

Cage: Don’t do it. DON’T. Even though you’ll probably win, the emotional toll it will have on you will be humongous. You’ll slap him, he’ll cry, you’ll cry, and your life will be much sadder knowing that you made Cage cry. I suggest a friendly hug instead!

Eastman: Do NOT. You will not survive. He will roundhouse kick you, bite off your nuts, feed you to the wild animals, and make soup with your bones. Attempting to fight him is a deathwish.

Ligeti: It really depends. If you wanted to brute force through the fight, sure! Go ahead, piece of cake! Fight him! But if you wanted to tire him out first, 8/10 times Ligeti wins. Way too mentally strong for the average fighter. Full of stamina. Don’t.

Messiaen: Bird people are sensitive. He fought in a war but i don’t think that’s important in this particular case, since he is a bird person. Just punch a bird, and then punch Messiaen when he’s crying on the ground! Easy win.

Penderecki: Do not fight him. I do not have a reason for this, it just seems like a bad idea.

Rautavaara: I don’t think that it’ll be too hard to fight him. If he’s as bland of a fighter as his life was bland, punching Rautavaara is a great idea! Plus, bird person tactic applies here too, so that’s an extra perk of fighting him.

Schnittke: I mean... It’d be easy, you’d pulverize him in a couple punches, but... Why would you? Punching a paralyzed guy doesn’t sound very nice of you. Fight him, but only if you have no honor.

Xenakis: DO. NOT. I repeat, DON’T FIGHT HIM. First off, he’s a hardened war veteran, probably knows a couple ways to kill you with only his pinky finger. Secondly, he’s such a math nerd. Xenakis would probably calculate the exact velocity of your punches and dodge them in a split second. Don’t fight.
