Si algo he aprendido durante los años que llevo haciendo música es que la creación no tiene tanto que ver con la invención como con la atención . Igor Stravinsky , compositor de principios del siglo XX, parece haber sido poseedor de una atención envidiable. Estamos hablando del talento o el esfuerzo del compositor de darse el tiempo y el espacio de observar a su alrededor y codificar el intelecto con intuición, plasmando todos los elementos necesarios para considerar seriamente la existencia anticipada de un estilo que data de una fecha muy posterior, a mediados [...]

Last Sunday, New York Times music critic Anthony Tommasini published a top 10 list of the greatest classical composers in music history. Immediately, the web exploded with adverse reactions. Many academically leaning friends of mine decried the Huffington Post -ing of journalism that allowed classical music criticism to devolve into a blog-friendly top 10 list.

. Great Guardian article on Stravinsky's Rite of Spring debut in Paris , or the mystery of it... The uproar that greeted the premiere of The Rite of Spring on May 29 1913 was such that "we could hear nothing", according to Gertrude Stein. "One literally could not, throughout the whole performance, hear the sound of music." This is hardly surprising as she wasn't actually there, but her account, as unreliable as many others, only adds to the delicious enigma of this seismic event. 27 years later it would [...]
