Elliott Carter passed away

Post by ctesibius »

One of the most important figues of last century music has died last week.

I particularly liked this quote that somehow describe his music
“As a young man, I harbored the populist idea of writing for the public,” he once explained to an interviewer who asked him why he had chosen to write such difficult music. “I learned that the public didn’t care. So I decided to write for myself. Since then, people have gotten interested.”
