grgr (20): the spontaneity of the critical ear

[Lorentzen / Nicklaus]

 "we can only hope to pass the winter when music emancipates itself even from 
 twelve-tone technology. but not by falling back into the preceding 
 irrationality, which would have to be crossed in each and every moment today by 
 the requirements of the strict sentence twelve-tone technology has worked out, 
 but by absorbing the twelve-tone technology with its rules through free 
 composing's spontaneity of the critical ear." 

 (m.o.p.a.t. from adorno's "philosophie der neuen musik" [1949], p. 110)
