Video

Thank you for the vid.

This is such an invaluable video, and so little known.

Thank you for this

I always wonder if Crumb did the engraving himself. And now I know he did. This is the video I am so glad Zac made before the composer passed.

Bravi!

As an artist and acomposer, I've always seen Crumb as a composer. Seeing the beauty of his scores, I daresay he's an artist as well.

So prescius, so much fun! At Cornell, he said that he loooved the appogiaturas at Puccini! (he demonstrated 9-8 at the piano)

fascinating, i was wondering how he made those scores. wish there were more docs in a composer's studio

What he says at the end, "This dog has a better life than us composers," I know is a joke. But do we composers or aspiring composers of contemporary music really have such a dark future?

what's the name of the piece he's playing at 9:00?

Crumb utiliza muitos recursos dramáticos para enfatizar a mensagem de G. Lorca. Incrível!!!!

Uma verdadeira lição de vida metódica e criativa. George Crumb rompeu muitos paradigmas musicais relacionados ao trítono e o cromatismo. Um gênio incontestável da contemporaneidade!!!!

8:28

Music for a Fractal enlightenment! One of my biggest influence. Ps,, I love chromatic tone clusters, Ives caught on ,I can’t blame him.

This is fantastic!

Your video is very beautiful. I like it a lot. I have been trying to talk to you for a long time. I am waiting for your response. Please give me a chance to talk to you. ,

What a pity his brain couldn't get the concept of music............................................

What a pleasure and a relief in these times to hear a balanced and intelligent artist talk about his work.I remember first hearing Ancient Voices of Children in the 70s which set me on a path of discovering much 20th century music.A beautiful soul who will be missed.

If anyone is interested in learning more about Crumb's Black Angels, there's a short "visitor's guide" over on our channel: czcams.com/video/gOZ0tYV-WLA/video.html :)

Thank you for this!

thank you sir

gorgeous scores - used to use drawing templates like those he shows and rapidographic drafting pens with proprietary cartridges - the tips needed cleaning often - his Japanese pens are smarter - later went to pencil - white out for corrections is so messy - later did a musique concrète piece called Dog Start, built entirely on real audio from my dog, the one in my ID logo - as for space, wrote a piece called Comet Crash 9 - inspired by the crash of comet Shoemaker Levy 9 into Jupiter, initiated while it was happening - weird coincidences - as a grad student in the 70s was intensely inspired by Crumb

A real poet...

Vale George Crumb - a gentle, modest genius.

Rest in peace George Crumb!

RIP George, one of the greatest american composers.

Love to the maestro, and all who loved him.

Very sad news today... Crumb is dead. He was, in my opinion as a composer, the best North-American composer together with John Cage... I knew him personally in the 1980 when I was a student at the University here in Sao Paulo... Just sad... (Flo Menezes, from Sao Paulo).

18:18 to the end is such a beautiful moment. At first, a reflection on this scary and uncertain world. And then all of a sudden "oh look at this little dog". 🥰 Crumb is full of surprises, just like his music.

Thank you for this.

Such a great man!

"In Bach's time they were fiddling around with this stuff." Wonderful casual way of seeing the history of music. Thank you for sharing this little gem. Wish there was more of this. 20th Century music needs way, way, way, way more attention.

Awsome!!!

I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Crumb twice in my life. Once in Huddersfield at the festival where he was featured and we shared a programme in Bristol with the Nash Ensemble playing. Utterly delightful and charming man. Unassuming and without any side to him whatsoever. I always enjoy the music and find the precision and the consideration in the thinking very touching. A true master of telling detail; everything counts.

I’m so lucky my father is one of his best students this is not brag, this is pride

Looking great for 90! So grateful for his music.

This was crazy helpful! I have been struggling with this double note issue since I started with the clarinet about 2 years ago and no one has really been able to give me some sort of indication about how to train to improve this! Sure, I have heard this 'e' and 'a' before, but your exercise of modifying the tongue position until you reach a sweet spot has basically let me do some altissimo notes I wasn't able to reach in just a few days of practice!! thank you tons!! :D

Question: You mentioned you used half hole on high notes at one point. I’ve only heard of using half hole on bass cl. What is the benefit or reason on soprano? And thanks for sharing your routine, I find it very helpful.

This is a great resource, thank you for putting it out there.

Hello Master, please tell me which mouthpiece you performed on this video!

Whoa man, that first piece is a head trip! Especially after the second Old Fashioned, LOL! Stay well My friend!

Lawd this reminds me of college! I’m glad to see you are the same Grymes :)

Superbe, bravo

wow

Muczinski has been unjustly neglected. His work is beautifully crafted, tonal but not brain dead. Lovely rendition. You guys blend and differentiate the instrumental sounds really well!

Beautiful 👌🏻

What is the name of this piece?

That fist bump at the end was well deserved!

Great sound guys

Very nice.
