His books "The Classical Style" and "Sonata Form" are truly illuminating and fun to read. Could not recommend them enough to any serious musician.

I saw him play Beethoven’s Sonata 29 and Diabelli Variations. He spoke about each piece to any listeners who came up to piano at intermission. Very interesting.

I was privileged to hear Charles Rosen in the early eighties in Hamilton , Ont. Canada where h played some Schumann and Beethoven. I was able to speak to him after at a post concert reception and mentioned that I was learning the Stravinsky Serenade in A for piano, inspired by his recording of that piece. He was so accommodating and generous and , just like this video shows, completely unpretentious in his manner. I will always treasure the memory of my encounter with this great musician and human being.

Listening to Misha Dichter's records from the 1970s, the Schumann, the Liszt, the Beethoven, reveals a gem of a pianist. Dichter is underrated. You may not find his name among Kissin, Pollini, Hamline, but he is their equal.

hi

reject tonality, interesting? Regarding his first comment BS obvoiusly

Can we please give Goethe some credit? (I found out about that during my own research. Here is a summary by ChatGPT) Yes, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the renowned German writer and polymath, played a role in Mendelssohn's discovery of Bach's music. Mendelssohn's encounter with Bach's "St. Matthew Passion" was indeed facilitated by Goethe. In 1829, Mendelssohn visited Goethe in Weimar, and during his stay, Goethe suggested that Mendelssohn perform Bach's "St. Matthew Passion" in Berlin. Goethe was familiar with Bach's music and recognized its significance, and he believed that Mendelssohn, with his talent and enthusiasm, could help reintroduce Bach's works to a wider audience. Mendelssohn took Goethe's suggestion seriously and organized the performance of the "St. Matthew Passion" upon his return to Berlin. This event marked the beginning of Mendelssohn's lifelong dedication to promoting Bach's music and cemented his own reputation as a leading figure in the Bach revival movement of the 19th century. So, while Mendelssohn's rediscovery of Bach's music was his own initiative, Goethe's encouragement and support were instrumental in making it happen.

Very nice, but when are you going to pay me for the audiobook I recorded two years ago???

Impressive intellectual display. I have never heard anybody speaking about JS Bach so brilliantly, and playing the music on top of that.

Magnificent overview of the life of a man who has so improved my life as a scientist.

Glenn Gould did some amazing performances of Art of Fugue on the piano. Moscow in 1957 for one.

the evolution between birth of the cool to on the corner spans 25 years in human comprehension but represents light years in astronomical terms.

Miles is NOT my favorite Jazz cat. Not even by a country MILE! But he IS the jazz artist I know MOST about! That’s because of the internet, folks! I can’t even turn the motherfucker on without being reminded of Miles Davis and his music! This happens DAILY!!!

I love Rom Harré's admiration of Wittgenstein's thinking. I too love Wittgenstein's thinking.

Wow, I could just listen for hours. Thank you so much for sharing!

I’m sorry but I can see exactly why miles would lose competitions against people that had legit technique. He hated wynton because wynton had it.

❤

Vivat Herr J.S.Bach !

Very similar to Prince, who redefined his music many times over

Mmmmmmm, whatever.

Truly excellent! Anyone else noticed how eerily different Bach looks in every portrait? It’s like completely different people. His eyes, mouth, everything changes from one to the other.

Did he play in Philadelphia what time

No. How can you explore thinking without language? He's got it back to front. The brain is a vessel for the mind both in consciousness and unconsciousness but it is language that allows me and McGinn to express himself arse-ways.

My grandfather is one of the best story tellers I’ve ever heard. I love listening to these stories.

He could speak on almost any topic in the arts, knew the classical music literature intimately, and had a fantastic knowledge of German and French literature from the later 18th and early 19th century. His powers of extemporization were legendary. I remember being with a group of students at a restaurant in Chicago's Chinatown where he was talking about how the Romantic musical ideal was related to the interest in classical ruins all over Europe; that works by Schumann, for example, sometimes resemble shards. I asked what he thought about the start to the Brahms Rhapsody Op. 79 no. 2, where the opening seems to start "in medias res." Charles took a paper napkin and scrawled out the chord symbols and chord degrees to show how the opening played into the tonality of the whole piece, then laughed as he remarked that Beethoven had gotten some heat over his first symphony because the first chord was a dominant 7th. (I still have the napkin--it's a bookmark for my copy of "The Romantic Generation.")

The great alchemist, Miles Davis. Thank you Quincy Troupe for CONCEPTUALISING the mercurial air sign of the Gemini. 'The man with the horn'. Spirited and knowing. Timeless. Salute!

I loved the story about Mr. Miles .... to hear the namrs cold train just blow my mine....these players was doinh my mother and uncle era! I wastn" born, but at tje age of 12 my uncle introduce me to the Miles, Brook Benton, Dianh Washinton....thank you Quincy for the story.

Thank you for this wonderful tribute to lizst. For me Lizst is the greatest complete musician who ever lived. The love and appreciation of Lizst has been with me my whole life. My 96 year old mother as a child studied piano with one of Liszt last students.

Great story

Very good🇺🇸✡️✝️

Charles rosen

Superb

Well, surely, God calls on us to participate in his everlasting art of… in time, Bach did ‘some work’ to project some of it, I believe… influenced by M Luther u.a., so this vid. is of high importance, educ.

Nice. I remember that William James recognised the unconscious in his book Varieties of religious experience, where he showed that some mind procedures can affect the religious conversion and change the whole personality of a man. Cognitive and behavioural psychotherapy is empirically supported. More than any other.

Myles had perfect pitch so evry sound he heard was a musical note. This video was so interesting from a guy who really knew Miles..

Miles Davis & Chet Baker, fantastico !

La música que le ponen al Quiroga ,es de película Alfred Hitchcock

Shit-Sound-Piano....!!!

Rachmaninoff commended Horowitz for his performance of his work, and enjoyed the *changes that Horowitz made to his original composition. Seriously, where do you get your opinions from? "How dare we do anything but what Rachmaninoff did" when Rachmaninoff himself was a fan of other interpretations of his music, and also famously interpreted other musicians differently in his variations. Say Beethoven. There was never a composer by the name of Beydoven "How dare you pronounce his name incorrectly"... when its literally spelled out for you in natural language.

[They] always tried to put down something that is good but not created by [them]. When that doesn't work, then next [they] learn it and go out of [their] way to claim that [they] "do it better" or in some kind of way [they] have something to do with its creation. And since [they] are the one who have control over almost everything in this country, [they] make sure things would go according to what [they] say, how [they] say it, and how [they] print it. Three times Miles competed nationally and three times [they] made sure Miles won't get not even a second place. Nothing new about this sh*t and not much has changed since.

1:02:05 so, by Pierce’s definition of truth, what happens when two opposing communities exist such that each community opines exactly the opposite (geocentrism versus heliocentrism)? Both cannot be true. We learn through empirical observation that in fact the earth orbits the sun and not the other way around. Would Pierce contend that both communities had their own truth? Also, what really does ‘given enough time…’ really mean? 1:04:32 the problem is that even THIS belief, that any belief can be questioned, can be questioned.

So many examples of brilliant renaissance thinkers who just don’t excel in the halls of academia.

I have just encountered this wonderful person and you say he is already gone from our world. I am heart broken. Such a fine teacher. thank you for this opportunity to have briefly met this wonderful person.

I would argue that the most important thing Freud was correct about was the phenomenon of transference, and there has been a great deal of scientific study of transference, to such a degree it is nearly scientific consensus. Freud said it was the most important thing in therapy, so the very fact that talk therapy is built upon the idea of transference has a certain merit. The adjacent ideas of the qualities of transference, or what to do in relationship to a patient is another issue. In India where people still see spiritual teachers they maintain the transference over the course of a lifetime, even after the teacher had died. In Jungian therapy the transference is extended longer than Freudian therapy. And who is to say a person can not find a transference relationship outside of therapy, a friend, a lover, a teacher, or even an admired author that provides a quality transference that has an effect. I would simply say that transference in and of itself may have enough therapeutic value that even if other theories are wrong this function “re-parents” or even fulfills the wish of a parent. Which is the basic point he makes at the end.

Excellent summary of Peirce! Thank you!

What a great piece! Thank you. Thank you.

Fantastic demonstration of Bach’s compositional genius.

What a brain! Charles Rosen, lucidly Inhabits Bach's brain and shares his genius. One Genius communing with another.

Turing "borrowed" his "stored program" machine idea from weaving looms driven by punched cardboard.

Following his performance of a cocerto the conductor (adolph busch--his father in law), the enthusiastic applause called for an encore. What shall I play he asked Busch. Play the The Goldberg Variations, was the reply (probably not serious) and he did! It is said that by the😅 end there were only a few people remaining, one of whom is said to have been Einstein.
