You don't know who she is lying sap

But surely you must have heard of her sister Nadia who was a most influential teacher and composer. Among her many students was Brazil’s great Hector Villalobos.

«Me too» !

I'd never heard of her either. I had heard her sister's name; but didn't know what she did either. You Tube Out of the Blue Algorithm scores an excellent piece.

Fortunately for the civilized world there are still intelligent women who enjoy raising children in a healthy family environment, and who don’t consider the task “being handcuffed to a kitchen doorknob” (as if that were ever the case).

@@TokyoXtreme In a just world, all men and all women would not feel limited in their choices. I would have loved to be the parent who did the home care for my kids, or at least more than I was allowed by the situation available to me. I was making a defense of larger choice for women. Your remark strikes me as offensive, actually, because no one was denigrating the work in the home--only the relegation of one role per sex. Why this internet impulse to correct everyone's thoughts, even when intentions are honorable?

@@prototropo Empty virtue signaling.

@@TokyoXtreme It was virtue bull-horning, actually. And how empty is any assertion that attracts reflexive reactions, like subservience-signaling.

@@prototropo Being content and consistent with your biological role is fulfilling and supremely satisfying - nothing “subservient” about it. You can still write music while raising children… you don’t need to be a 45 y.o. catlady who runs the PR department.

I’m now at peace having seen someone use “sneaked” instead of “snuck.” 😂 Major props

@@callmeqt1269 I learnt my English in Britain and the older form "sneaked" is more common than the American upstart "snuck". It is interesting that the verb "to sneak" became irregular in North American when it had been regular in Britain for centuries. I understand both but when push comes to shove I tend to use the word sneaked in speaking and writing.

Also, Chopin died before reaching the age of 40. Fortunately he was able to compose a large quantity of incredible compositions, and I would argue that Chopin's music is most consistently beautiful. Most composers have some better compositions as well as some missteps, but almost every piece written by Chopin is a gem.

Oh shut up you've never heard of her

Kalinnikov (compared with Chaykovskiy)

Felix Mendelssohn died at 38.

I feel the same you. I'm very drawn to the sound of her music.

That's because you two are easily manipulated sheep! You listen to some hype & without any personal investment, you're more than convinced! BaaAAaah! BAAaaAAh!

@@marblemadness8870 what a strange thing for you to be upset about, they’re not changing their politics or religious beliefs, or any other thing that is wildly important. They’ve just been exposed to a new musician and like it.

@@bblovesyou1 his marbles gettin away from him?

Hollywood obviously prefers making hundreds movies about batman or captain america.

@@nicktamer4969 L reply tbh

@@nicktamer4969 to bad but how about French? it was my thought also . What a pity we do not have the film about this lady composer. How about the feminists movie makers?

@@LeRoi715 problem is : both the Boulangers worked (litterally) to their death to reach this level. Ain't exactly the message modern Hollywood is trying to pass right now; and as to the French cinema, the nature of financements in this industry makes the decision makers (Public TV channels) only go for safe mediocre "comedies" with always the same actors, or very low budget "social-messaging " movies. A high end classical music biopic, despite its story-telling potential, looks too risky for them

@@Cancoillotteman That’s why the studio system was the best.

Nah man he lied to you. If they dont wanna talk about it it's either a lie or he/she did something bad to her/him.

@@olearris Absolutes are problematic states, friend. It’s good to recall that there is every kind of personality under the sun. No, I left the anecdote early. There is no question this prof was her pupil, nor that he earned his place, he did. It’s a known. However, perhaps “intense“ doesn’t describe NB, and, at the end of the day, like NB, composition was not his strong suit. The other 1-2 degree-away personal, reliable connection I had came a couple years before I was recommended to this particular prof, and the four others who had adjudicated in his dept, when I had been connected by an older, established composer friend to Slonimsky, while I was a teen. NS, who was positively loquacious and incredibly generous to me, spent many afternoons over the years (until his serious health issues intervened), going into technical details about structural concepts and devices in composition, yet spoke equally and with just as much passion and vigor about anyone in music he knew and everything I plied him with. He loved regaling, and he did touch on Ms. N. Boulanger. She was difficult as I understood. My ultimate impression remains that, although she had a greater track record of meaningfully assisting many artists along their way, she also broke a few as Frank Lloyd Wright did (virtually all) of those Taliesen fellows. At the same time, 20th c American serious music would have been quite different without her.

I doubt you've heard of her liar

@@jasonbourne5142 What a bizarre comment. Do your parents know you’re on the Internet? Be well, friend. BTW, if one has been involved at any level with serious music in the 20th c, it’s impossible to not be aware of Nadia Boulanger. If one is aware of Nadia Boulanger, it’s impossible to be unaware of Lili Boulanger. There are more obscure tracks before you hit the wilderness, fella. Good luck. LOL.

This comment and it's replies are peak comedy. Made my day 10/10.

Stay strong and good luck with everything! I admire people who despite their constant pains manage to actually keep creating!

@@stanimirlambov7222 Thank you 😌

Such lack of accommodation should be illegal by now. The time will come when we will look back at ourselves in shame. I hope there’s a way to urgent change. Sending you much strength and love from Brazil ✨

Stop acting like you've heard of her, you're not special

is there any merit to considering her 'one of the greatest' or are you equating potential with actual? I can't say I'm familiar with her work but it looks like she left a small oeuvre, even considering how young she died. Most of the female composers ppl try to being attention to are actually not underrated, they were hobbyist composers of mostly rote salon music who get *more* regard than their actual music warrants by virtue of being a relatively rare thing (a female composer). Is there any piece of hers you can recommend for the uninitiated that showcases an original composing talent?

@@helvete_ingres4717 Du Fond de l’Abime is a masterpiece. Also, before running your mouth off, you should know that she won the Prix de Rome and almost won it twice, but passed out during one of the exams due to her chronic illness.

@@jacobbass6437 why on earth should I know that piece of meaningless trivia? Prizes are very temporal things, they're no indication of anyone being 'one of the greatest' - movies win oscars every year that no one ever talks about again, only very short-sighted people place importance on such things. Anyway I've already listened to the piece mentioned in this video, Faust + Helen, it sounded like someone from the 20th century trying to write like Wagner with orchestral texture almost straight from Tristan + Isolde. Or rather, nothing about it even told me it was written in the 20th century

@@helvete_ingres4717 why should you know that, because you ignorantly dismissed her compositional prowess while having not heard any of her music nor knowing anything about her just because she is a woman. Do I agree the Faust et Helen is a Wagnerian, yes. Do I still think it presents great compositional prowess, yes, but I don't think it is representational of her great works, which is why I recommended Du Fond de l'Abime.

@@jacobbass6437 your reading comprehension is subnormal if you equate 'asking for a recommendation on where to start' with 'ignorant dismissal'. I also asked for justification on ranking her 'one of the best' (not that I personally see all that much value in ranking composers) - even if she had composed a masterpiece or more than one, thats a very tall claim. Second, I made a very general claim about female composers from history which if you're at all honest, you wont' dispute eg. Clara Schumann, wrote music that was totally mediocre and ironically for all the story gets told that female composers were unjustly ignored by history, no one would remember her name or listen to her music today if she had NOT been a woman and married to Robert Schumann. Failing to distinguish between general and specific statements is something unintelligent people struggle with. Also you fail to convince me why I 'should' know some piece of trivia about a composer winning an award, nor is this really evidence of the 'compositional prowess' you allude to, not least b/c such institutions that gave such awards were usually very conservative and hostile to originality, or boundary-pushing works.

You're lying, you just want to be noticed

Oh shut up you don't know who she is

I like her music, it's okay, but it's wrong to say She's one of the greatest composers of the Century. Because she didnt achieve even half of what the greatest composers of the Century achieved, and most importantly because her music doesnt have that special Quality that Genius composers have. She's good but you can't call everyone a Genius, she didnt write any masterpiece.

@@ignacioclerici5341 Do you always need to cut off other's legs to make you feel taller?

@@jemiller226 Excellent and apt Saying. I'll use it somewhere, I'm sure.

@@jemiller226 what? Disagreeing with somebody calling an average composer one of the greatest of the Century is cutting off others legs? To me is just saying what i feel, and what most people feel actually, so i'm not alone in this. Maybe i could have put it more friendly, i guess i was a bit angry at the super exageration of her music. "I like her music, she clearly is very intelligent and talented, but i dont think her music has that special Quality of the greatest composers, such as Bach Mozart Beethoven Chopin Schubert Brahms Mahler Wagner. I don't see how she should be considered one of the greats. Now that she is dead of course, when she was alive she was a great promise, like Alma Deutscher is now, but that doesnt put them in the absolute Genius category. When i think someones music is tracendent i say it, i praise them, i'm not envious. I admire all kinds of people. I think Jacob Collier is a truly great musician, composer. So are the beatles, Queen, beach boys. And if he (Collier) goes on writing great music he might become in the future one of the greatest composers of the 21st Century. In fact i like some pieces by Lily Boulanger, but the few pieces She's written are not masterpieces. And besides, it's a talk between people who don't know each other over the internet. Cutting off someones legs would if i go and say it to her face or in public or in a Review as a critic or something like that. Theres a reason someone in privacy is completely free. The social norms to not hurt others feelings by telling the truth arent there, when you are alone
