This week, from Reich to Kendall and Celibidache, three musicians who prove there is no such thing as “pure music”, whether we’re talking about a technique, a mode of musical expression or a musician’s legacy.

Make music.

Not listen to music. Not consume, stream, buy, receive, but use your human self.

Play a musical instrument or sing. Even if you think it’s unskilled. Especially then. Use your body to entertain yourself.

Steve Reich's infinite loops influenced David Bowie and Radiohead

Minimalist music helped shape everything from Brian Eno's ambient music and electronic sound to Hans Zimmer film scores and Radiohead's atmospheric rock.

I recently found this fine take on Beethoven's Choral Fantasy with Martha Argerich, Seiji Ozawa, and the Saito Kinen Orchestra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSfMH9Y5bi8. It's worth an ear. The poor piece often gets rushed and treated like filler. Argerich and Ozawa give it depth and intensity, and the performances from the vocal soloists and members of the orchestra are outstanding. Ozawa had to step out, but Argerich still tours and gives awesome concerts.

Schoenberg Quartet 25th Anniversary Edition by Arnold Schoenberg, Schoenberg Quartet, released in 2001 on Chandos.

Arnold Schoenberg or Schönberg[a] (13 September 1874 – 13 July 1951) was an Austrian and American modernist composer, music theorist, and teacher associated with developing variation, the emancipation of the dissonance, and twelve-tone composition. He taught composition in Vienna and at the Prussian Academy of Arts (1925–1933), resigning in anticipation of Nazi Germany's civil–service restrictions. He defiantly reaffirmed his Judaism before immigrating to the United States, where he taught at the University of California, Los Angeles (1936–1944).- Wikipedia

Feeling worse for wear today so hours of Schoenberg is my soundtrack for this afternoon.
