Uni 306 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I wondered when we'd see a little 7 Years. It didn't make my Top 10, but I figured it would appear with reasonable frequency on others. (Guess I was wrong. . . .)- Uni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a cursory glance at a list of William's scores shows that some of the more well-loved titles are also among his best. Dismissing them as "fireworks" doesn't make them less so, and the suggestion that those who love those scores were "fooled" by them is frankly a little insulting (I'm sure you didn't meant it as such), especially on a forum dedicated to that composer's work.

Uni 306 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 He did say "the rest of us"—not "the rest of you." That's what led me to assume it was a bit of self-depricative joking.- Uni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what led me to assume it was a bit of self-depricative joking.- UniWell, I did get the self-depricative part anyway. But it is interesting, because when I made my own list, I kind of said "huh"? It just felt so...typical. All the usual scores that everyone regards highly..and let's face it most of these lists share about 70% of the same scores. So I understand the desire to put something different on there (I tried to find a way to sneak Dracula in, but in good conscience I couldn't put it higher than any of the scores I listed, as much as I like it), but when I think about the scores, I have to admit that the more "commonly" highly regarded ones really are among the best. Admittedly, however, it does make for a more boring list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uni 306 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I know exactly what you mean. Something's tugging at you inside, whispering in your ear that you're picking the same stuff everyone else is. But then you remind yourself that you're not making these choices because other people like them too; you're doing it because they're your favorites. The fact that so many hold a "core" set of scores in such high regard isn't a sign of plagiarism. It means they're excellent scores, and everyone (well—most folks, anyway) knows it.- Uni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
