that was sort of airy and intangible seemingalso volume was too low throughout and i didnt really understand how the dots and graphs related to the music, although clearly they were connected so it was neat to have visual with the audio i supposethis wasnt nearly as bad as stuff by webern or berg for sure, at least this had a rhythm and was recognizbly musical

Pooter crashed before I finished. Sorry. I know Penderecki isn't electronic but I meant to say he was firmly in their camp for a while, trying for the same thing with traditional instruments. But I would agree he's not as original as some.

Everyone stands on the shoulders of giants but composers in this genre - and at this time - such as Reich, Varese, Ligeti etc., really have no progenitors. They were exploring a new technology that had no precursor. I can't imagine of whom Penderecki might have been derivative in these circumstances.

Penderecki is derivative and unoriginal... this piece reinforces that sentiment.

We used to argue which was better, this, or Penderecki's threnody.
