Cette femme était incroyable. Elle a formé les plus grands.

[@fredericlinden]

Un parfait mélange exceptionnel de rigueur et d'ouverture d'esprit inégalés

[@jazzporridge1506]

So many outstanding quotes in this vid. The best might be that "Jazz musicians shack up with music first"

[@Diogolindir]

I am not a native english speaker. What is the meaning of "shack"?

[@rrickarr]

Wow!!! I never knew and never would have even assumed that Quincy Jones studied with Boulanger.

[@andrewpearson1903]

The best part is that when he says “Beethoven, Bird, Basie” he could have meant either William Byrd or Charlie Parker

[@smkh2890]

Boulanger an influence on Stravinski? his major works are from 1910 -1913.
"Nadia Boulanger and Igor Stravinsky began corresponding in 1929 when Stravinsky
sought someone to supervise the musical education of his younger son, Soulima."
If you mean she influenced his LATE works, then she has a lot to answer for!

[@timalan5376]

Long ago, I was a student of one of her students who is now deceased. The one thing I gleaned from my studies can best be summed up with Musical Consciousness, or that which Ms. Nadia succeeded in bringing out in her pupils. For instance, where Igor Stravinsky was a voice of mighty thunder, Aaron Copeland was a voice of cool calm reason, and Quincy Jones is a voice of rhythmic mastery. Always trust your ears is what my teacher taught me for my talent and skill will bring out the rest. Today, I only play music for God, because I'm no longer interested in making inroads into a corrupted and wicked music business here in America.

And Lily Boulanger is her sister 🤐 might try listening

[@Jarchiporz]

I believe she never taught Bernstein. They were friends, but nothing else. You can see him talking in an interview about that. He appeared in the documentary "Mademoiselle" speaking about it.

[@fredericlinden]

Maybe... But she had an impact on him. No need to split hair...

[@Jarchiporz]

@@fredericlinden she had an impact on so many people! She was amazing, and so was Bernstein, but I believe we should be more precise with the given information.

[@el_fr9200]

Il n’a pas été son élève mais il dit qu’elle lui a fait quelque remarque pour une de ses compositions

[@Jarchiporz]

@@el_fr9200 yes. That is not being her student. Bernstein went to visit her when she was old and gave her a gift, a composition that he wrote. As soon as he started playing, she, in a very funny way, told him to not use a particular note because that same note appeared before and the melody would be boring otherwise. And that was it. She taught so many great musicians, but Bernstein was not one of them although she was inspiring for him, and viceversa, I am sure.

can't stand him after he trashed the beatles. really arrogant misogynist too.

[@ShineSpark88]

The Beatles suck ass. I really have no idea how people like their songs. It must be a 60's culture thing, because these days they are unbearable to listen to. And It's not a age thing, because I like Elvis, who came before the Beatles.

[@ingvarhallstrom2306]

He's old and a little lost in his head. It happens to old people. Give him some slack, he's been working hard for over 70 years, he has earned his living.

[@ellie-tk4jy]

@Ingvar Hallström nope. He knows exactly what he is saying. You sound very young if you think he's old. He's well aware of what he says. I don't give misogynists "some slack". Tell misogynists to give women "some slack". Idiot.

[@ingvarhallstrom2306]

@@ellie-tk4jy He's pushing 90, but I guess 90 is the new 50, right?

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

@@ingvarhallstrom2306 That doesn't change anything. My dad is in his 80s. It's interesting how people see men and women in that age group as old. I don't because I hang out with them. I know they're completely aware of what they're saying. The only thing that changes is they no longer cease to care because expectations that they should protect people's feelings are not longer present. Compare to how a young girl is treated if she says anything even remotely critical about a man.
