It's good to hear about what else is going on behind the music. I think by now people might be disappointed if he suddenly changed. Thanks for the note!

For over 17 years my advice to him has been "write fewer notes." He doesn't listen. But I'm happy concert goers listen to him, as he's a good fella, despite those many words and many, many notes.

Yeah, I presume Ferneyhough needs to frame his thinking in this way to write music the way he does. I've heard his first three quartets on CD; this new one sounds more open and less convoluted, as though he's mature enough to allow himself to relax now and then. As the Guardian review says: some gentle, beautiful moments.<br /><br />The Dusapin sounded like a similarly weighty discussion, but conducted in a more languid, jaded, slightly sour tone.

The thing is, I sort of see what Ferneyhough's note is getting at; and even if, like so much else, he could have said it more simply the fact that he didn't is half the point (although, yeah, this tends to become quaint rather than edifying). But the Dusapin notes quoted in that Guardian piece are abstruse and poorly translated. Nice review.
