My favorite piece from Meagan's presentation was the Stravinsky piece for two trumpets (thanks for introducing me to this piece, Meagan!)
I know, I know. It was super short. BUT...I found it to be very thought provoking. I have generally enjoyed Stavinsky's music due to the 'primitive' nature of it, but this particular piece begs the question:
How long does something have to be to establish that it is music, not just sound?
And is any sound music?
This is a debate that has received much attention over the last century. Weigh in with your thoughts, ABEL classmates!
