i love the chord in harmonics in the cellos that comes into focus around 10:12 - even when the strings are slightly amiss, the vienna philharmonic sound great -

Nothing to say: but don't say that is "chance music". It depends of what is "beauty" for you. If "Beauty" is the same that Rimbaud took on his knees, there is not that beauty in this piece. There is not Beauty as an academic matter. If beauty for you is simply a beautiful sunset, or a beautiful girl, here there is a lot.

Yes, every note is calculated in all its parameters... sophisticated rules of composition has been used ... maybe Boulez did also the Pythagorean Theorem with the notes... but this does not mean in this crap there is beauty. This piece is simply horrible with all its rules, parameters and all the rest!

A wonderful piece of music of one the greatest artist of the twentieth century.

After 83 years, it's time Boulez got rid of that comb-over...

It is STRUCTURALISTIC music that is the OPPOSITE of chance music.If you don't like how the music sound don't mean that the composition of the work is guided by chance. Here, every note is calculated and weighted in all its parameters. So it is MODERN music.if YOU don't like modern music listen ancient music, or compose ancient music.But please don't compose by chance like neoclassical musician,use well the rules of tonality or of ancient modality,even more severe than those of serial music. ;-)

It's not proper serial music. It's a dodecaphonic piece, with a particular attention to rythmic construction (this can be better appreciated in the string quartet original version). It seems Boulez doesn't like too much the string orchestra version (because of the "tamer" sound), but rythmic complexity makes the quartet version quite difficult to play.
