about tonality
About tonality:(BTW this is a pretty weird interview, David-Lynch-style)
(you see, Europeans always have this upper cat attitude - but that is only their problem!)
also, questionable views about democracy...
But I agree with him on tonality. At least I'm unable to hear anything (even Boulez) not-tonally. Probably that's because I was educated in Hungary, Kodaly-system, you know, ut-re-mi-fa sol-la, etc. In the smallest pieces of music instinctively searching for (or projecting into maybe?) tonal relationships. It is actually a hindrance, I feel, because there are pieces which are intentionally NOT tonal, and my tonality-based approach limits my understanding of them.
