I just wanted to say thanks to anyone who may have donated. Again you have no idea how much it means. Not gonna spam this message all day today, don’t worry, but thank you to those that did… Thank you so so much. And to anyone who upvoted or commented or gave well wishes. It means the entire world to me right now.
The bolero is so underwhelming but still so prised.
Ravel’s Bolero? There is a lot more rhythmic and harmonic complexity and variation than is readily apparent to most listeners. I had to (somewhat) learn to play it myself before I could appreciate it.
For me it’s basically the same thing over and over, just soloed by every instrument. Not judging, I just personally thinks it’s quite meh.
Plus it produced a gimmicky album pressing where the groove spiraled the wrong way.
Completely agree. The only time I’ve ever heard it and enjoyed it was when strings and flutes were isolated
I have to strongly disagree on this one for some reason. I think it’s a great hook, and then builds and surprises.
