Music reviews of Charles Ives: A Concord Symphony
Music Review: So what are we listening to? Anyone Know?
Rating: 5 Stars
So what are we listening to?, Anyone Know?, It's not Charles Ives,It's not his'Concord Sonata' for Piano Solo! What we are listening to is closer to Henry Brant's brilliant penchant for colour orchestral timbre,an experiment?OK. We are also listening to his(Brandt's) bravery for mounting the task, the reponsibility for this work, I cannot agree with Kyle Gann that we have a new Ives Symphony, we simply have an orchestration of the 'Concord Sonata' for Piano Solo, It is a "Piano Solo", Doesn't that mean anything to anyone, The piano solo does have a lifeworld a dignity unpretenciously, a conceptual complexity all its own?,I thought. Isn't there a tradition that we keep at a distance when we write for the piano as a solo instrument, Many seem to forget this; But here I am being an Old Fuddee-Duddee some might suspect, Perhaps ? What should we ignore then? Ignore the piano solo? How can you, such a powerful work for Piano Solo,and can you ever listen to the piano solo again?, if you didn't hear what you are suppose to hear the first time, the orcehstration really doens't help, for when you hear the experience of the orchestra, you are not hearing the piano solo anymore, is that confusing to contemplate; that is quite impossible,Not that I'm encouraging these nefarious projects, Why doesn't someone orchestrate the Boulez "Second Piano Sonata?, or the "Music of Changes" of John Cage, or a few of the "klavierstuck of Stockhausen?,all form a kind of cross-handed musical ecology, a new genre, utilizing the detritus of modern civilization, things already in the mind, as Jasper Johns said someplace; that would be equally as interesting. just to create something new and exciting is an after-post modernity way of BEING, we cannot ignore that; But the question remains. . . What are we listening to? it is not Ives, We know he had problems with his own orchestrations when more experimental endeavors wre deployed and projected, as the massive 'Fourth Symphony' and the chamber Works, We also know his strong spirit regarding free transcendental philosophy helped him create and did produce an overabundance of concepts to realize and pursue;, where the imagination can become triggered, animated variously, by a place,a bridge,a concept, a scene, a smell, a suggestion, a thought or idea, a few words string together,and he also freely adapted works changing their forms, re-transcribing songs,as Emerson movement for the "Piano Concerto" items deposited in his creativity, the arranger mentality was learned from his father George; materials are materials,but there is a point where you do something to step to another place, you cannot step into an unknown place in totality you need to be cautious and step a little throughout the lifeworld one is given, here Ives is given more lifeworlds than he really needs, the "Concord Sonata" is self-sustaining, it should be or it is nothing really,distinguish more. . .
