  1. Christodoulides wrote
    Good points but there are "dramatists" who can equally compose good as well, imo. Programme music has been around for ages with Sibelius being just one bright example ....


    But most of the music Sibelius wrote was not programme music. He wrote some excellent programme music, but it wasn't his defining work (IMO) or a limitation of his technique.
  2. It's just an example. Isolate his programme music and talk only about it if you want wink Other examples would include operas, ballets so you can see where i am going with it.

  3. Of course, we could also discuss Berlioz and his Symphonie Fantastique (a work completely forgotten in its influence on film music convention, methinks) or Wagner's works.

  4. Exactly, nothing limits programme music and its dramatists in relation to plain concert music, imo.

    Steiner, studying Wagner as he did started it all with Kong.

  6. Yeah, and Mahler students also were by the start. I know that Korngold studied with Mahler, not sure about Steiner.

    Steiner was more on the Strauss side, in fact related.

    I must say I'm quite impressed with Flash of Genius/Zigman. A sort of throwback but then it should be considering the topic which is inventor vs car companies.

    There is actually a little bit of a funky Jimmy Smith in Zigman along with melody, a LA Confidental lonely trumpet. Quite nice
