Night on Bald Mountain......Modest Petrovich Moussorgsky
Prince Igor......Alexander Borodin Firebird Suite......Igor Stravinski If any classical music should be considered Progressive is the Russian Nationalist Movement (Late Romantic/Early Modern) because: 1.- They broke with the mainstream that came from Europe. 2.- They refused to play popular music like Waltzes (There's an anecdote about the Mighty Handfull, who were forced to play in a public park during Russian winter because they refused to play Strauss in the Viena Court, even when they were offered very big bucks). 3.- They were considered extremely complex for their era. 4.- Almost all the world (Except Russia) hated their music during their life time. 5.- They gave extreme importance to the concept. Does it sounds familiar? Iván |
