Ivan Moravec was on another level achieving this in his playing (as you'll hear!), but I take a crack at it too, and Eli Luberoff joins me for listening challenge and Post-listening (get it??) discussion. Along the way we get to know intimately Chopin's Op. 15, no. 2, along with a genuine Spotify mystery, before listening to a complete performance. http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/samueljpost.com/uploads/1/2/5/1/125199/musicpost-ep-23-chopin-nocturne-final.mp3 http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/samueljpost.com/uploads/1/2/5/1/125199/musicpost-ep-23-chopin-nocturne-final.mp3 Mon, 13 Mar 2017 09:00:00 GMT samueljpost@gmail.com (Sam Post)noBach,Beethoven,Mozart,Brahms,classical,contemporary,piano,Sam,Post,listening Sam Post Modern classical music has a reputation for atonality, that is, that it lacks the harmonic and melodic core that has shaped Western music for hundreds of years. In this episode we hear three of my very non-atonal piano pieces. They are rooted in a traditional harmonic and motivic system and draw on another tradition of classical music, borrowing from existing folk tunes. Can you figure out what the other two tunes are before I reveal?
