          That depends on what you mean by tune . Schoenberg has tunes but you need a keen ear to whistle them...

            Easier than Adams or Glass!

              He went so far as to predict that "one day people will be whistling my tunes in the street". I sometimes try whistling, or singing, the opening theme to the Piano Concerto, a fairly strict late 12-tone work. Taking comparatively straight conventional melodic contours out of the diatonic context and placing them within a total chromatic harmonic matrix has the rather wonderful result of de-banalizing them and making them sound fresh once more. However, it was particularly this that post-war serialists objected to, logically pointing out that melodicism in general, and melodic development in sonata variational forms was an archaism, dependent on diatonic tonality, and by deduction therefore no longer valid. Minimalism originated partly in reaction to this reaction; yet it was still a form of abstraction in its early manifestations, excluding melodic invention in its early manifestations.

                Does anyone remember "Rainer Hersch 's 20th-century Retrospective" on R3 in 1998?

                  Not personally, no. Wonder how I managed to miss this: it would have been right up my tone row!

                    Lizzie’s offerings were dire this morning - she must have an ear which enjoys the jarring sounds she majors in playing - real headache inducing stuff - dreadful. A question for forumites - does anyone like Shaker Loops - if so why? Is it just a noise or is there something musical about it that I am clearly missing?
                    Downthread I suggested Shaker loops was the Adams default piece and guess what it’s now on Essential Classics. A good piece to make pots to apparently. Trying to sing along -tricky..

                      Surprise, surprise - switched off - hopefully now finished so I’ll return.

                        So no more short rides on fast machines?
                        I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!

                                The problem is that they never change key.
