Customer Review: Random miandering without melody
Imagine someone who’s just discovered a piano for the first time. She runs her hands over the keys, up and down the scales, then a few random chords here and there. And so on, and so on, for all three interminable CD’s. I actually liked some of Messiaen’s other works, so I don’t know what the game is here, you wait for it to evolve into melody, or semi-melody, but it never comes.
It’s almost like this is improvised piano music, like Chick Corea, but it lacks the sort of direction you’d get in Chick’s improvised piano works.
Music went off in different directions at the start of the 20th century, and this to me is an example of the sort of chaotic miandering that some composers went down which lost the basic essence of music itself, but that’s just my opinion.
