The Unanswered Question - 2. Musical Syntax

“

Continuing with with my previous video upload, here is the 2nd Lecture pronounced at Harvard in 1973 by Leonard Bernstein as the Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry during his tenure from 1971 onwards.

”

This Lecture is pretty complex so I am still busy on the translation into Spanish, mainly for the benefit of those Spanish-speaking Avax members who may have difficulties understanding English.

Enjoy!

Thanks everyone, for your support. Got a bad comment in Demonoid regarding the contents. I feel it is such a unique view of how music came about that it may be difficult for some of us to take in all that knowledge. But I would never characterize these lectures as "lame". Sometimes this support coming from other forums gives us enough energy to continue. I have not given you the full DVD versions because, although there are orchestral performances after some of these, they are not the crunch of the matter. Lenny's theories are the most important and the most mind blowing sections. But I can and at some stage can upload full DVD5 of these. Am now preparing No. 3. And also some other stuff like Annie Fischer... which I saw Koneser upload today.

Dear DanseDePuck,

these lectures are arguably the most important stuff the genius teacher Bernstein left us with - and it will take another decade or two for these mind blowing thoughts to spread around and be fully appreciated.

Your upload (and also the "Young Peoples Concerts" posted by somebody here) is the single most important piece of musical thought of the 20th (and 21st?) century. (Btw - don't be fooled by the title "Young Peoples Concerts" - I use these lectures in many courses I teach at my university, and even I as a so called "expert" (in comparison to Bernstein rather a "total beginner") profit tremendously and get new insights every single time I go through them).

I would recommend to watch these lectures *and* get a copy of the printed text to be able to re-read important passages which may be not so easy to get the first time around.

In any case - this is a MAJOR contribution - even if these lectures are not particularly "easy", they are extremely rewarding for those who give them a shot.

Thanks a lot!

Cheers

FC
