I don't want to offend anyone here but could someone please tell me what is so good about Steve Reich's music..... I mean, I know its original and refreshing, but what emotion does it give you? Someone sell it to me. I could sell the music I like, to someone, and I'm not even into any of that commercial manufactered crap

i would like to see that!

Simply amazing! But it would be really interesting to hear the complete, unedited piece, wich lasts about 18-20 minutes. If you`re going to play something like this, you need to be mentally prepared, and this performer sure took his time before the start of the concert. Modern music is very demanding for the performers... Now play "Drumming" by yourself, man!! =D

Maybe you do know something about classical theory, relativetall, but you "certainly" know nothing about artistic approach, or creativity.

Not true, a guy at my school performed this, 1 person with 2 pianos, about 5 years ago when Reich came to our school as a composer-in-residence for a week. No doubt this guy is extremely talented, but he's not the only one who's done it.

That's pretty interesting. I don't really understand it though.

plus what he is doing is very impressive: steve reich wrote the piece so one hand is playing a 16th faster then the other hand and in this piece they overlap three times. id be impressed if with myself i was able to do that :p

maxfreak345, is your comment impressive? even if the only criteria for being impressive is criteria for being impressive is making something which is enjoyable? i reckon its the opposite, if the performer heard your nasty comment which could cause a feeling of un-enjoyment from the performer, and so by your logic your (un-enjoyable) comment would have to be un-impressive. haha
