The first sentence is incorrect, and it goes downhill from there. In the second sentence, 'fourths' are now 'force.' The third sentence contradicts itself: quartal chords can be made with diminished fourths, but not diminished fourths. Sundar should be embarrassed. #MusicTheory
Terrific program by the Junction Trio at Carnegie Hall tonight. The Zorn piece was written for them and they played it beautifully. Watch out for these kids!
Sorry to see that Daniel Dennett has died. I was just thinking about him the other day and how he was the only member of that “new atheist” group to not turn out to be a total jerk. I knew him from way before that as I was doing a lot of reading in philosophy of mind in my early undergrad days in the ‘80s. I think I read Brainstorms right after G.E.B.
OK, The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) has a great cast and all, but wow Purple Noon (1960) is, I think, the better film, and has Alain Delon in his first major film role.
And I only just* realized that the TeeVee show Ripley that folks are talking about—shockingly filmed in, gasp, black and white—is the same story.
