Why I Love Fantasia
Added 2018-06-29 17:39:21 +0000 UTCThis was definitely one of the more difficult videos I've made.
I spent a LOT of time researching the general debate between absolute and program music and how it came to be. Hopefully that aspect of the video made sense!
But I really wanted to talk about this idea mostly because I feel like people tend to look at soundtracks from an absolute perspective, which I totally get, but I feel kinda misses out on some of the struggles that makes a soundtrack's success that much more impressive!
All in all I'm happy with it, even though I never thought I'd ever create an argument for Mickey Mouse in a Wizard Hat being a leitmotif.
I guess that's just the way it goes!
Thank you all for your continued support.
I literally could not do this without you.

I remember reading a text from Schopenhauer on absolute music and the platonic idealism. Really can't agree that there is something like absolute music. Wagner & Beethoven's music still is determined by culture and rituals which have their root in a "program". Therefore their music is not a thing that is able to live on its own, even "if our world wouldn't exist". These composers have been hyped for too long now :D
