Kronos Quartet - Winter 2020 Release: Kronos' Fifty for the Future #31–35 of 50 - Mark Applebaum, Hawa Kassé Mady Diabaté, Susie Ibarra, Vladimir Martynov, and Henry Threadgill
Kronos’ Fifty for the Future is commissioning a collection of 50 new works – 10 per year for five years – that are devoted to the most contemporary approaches to the string quartet and designed expressly for the training of students and emerging professionals. The works are being commissioned from an eclectic group of composers – 25 men and 25 women – and the collection is beginning to represent the truly globe-spanning state of the art of the string quartet in the 21st century.
On February 6, we released the scores and parts, audio recordings, and many more resources for Fifty for the Future works by Mark Applebaum, Hawa Kassé Mady Diabaté, Susie Ibarra, Vladimir Martynov, and Henry Threadgill, which join previously released pieces by Franghiz Ali-Zadeh, Laurie Anderson, Ken Benshoof, Raven Chacon, Islam Chipsy, Aftab Darvishi, Fodé Lassana Diabaté, Rhiannon Giddens, Philip Glass, Yotam Haber, Joan Jeanrenaud, Garth Knox, Aleksander Kościów, Nicole Lizée, Soo Yeon Lyuh, Onutė Narbutaitė, Kala Ramnath, Karin Rehnqvist, Yevgeniy Sharlat, Trey Spruance, Tanya Tagaq, Stephan Thelen, Merlijn Twaalfhoven, Aleksandra Vrebalov and Wu Man. Anyone can now learn to play these string quartets... including you!

“The mad scientist of music” - A TED talk I disagree with wholeheartedly.
Mostly, what I disagree with is the somewhat overarching theme (seen all over the place, especially in academic composition) that doing something ‘outside the box’ - in this case, giving performers unexplained non-notation, using homemade nonsense instruments, making ‘compositions’ based on things which aren’t music, like the Copenhagen subway map (and making a very comfortable living doing all of those things), makes him a visionary, in some way. I think that sort of thing can go one of two ways. The great composers pushed boundaries, broke rules, were daring, and inventive, but I think this talk is a pretty good demonstration that breaking rules might be a necessary condition for greatness, in a way, but it definitely isn’t sufficient. His rule-breaking is not the equal of William Byrd, Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky, or Mozart’s rule-breaking.
