Lovely little pieces
I have to orchestrate one of them for a project in school... I'll probably do the 4th one, dunno.
It seems that a lot of composers start from Webern. Even Boulez and Stockhausen, they said that Webern was the way forward (and paradoxically, so did Cage and Feldman, albeit for completely different reasons). Webern is one of the most amazing composers of the early 20th century, and he only wrote so few things
I personally adore Varese (who also wrote very little), and I think composers who have influenced me a lot are (apart from Varease) Cage, Feldman and my teacher (Paul Newland), not so much in terms of style, but rather in terms of concepts and ideas.
