Re: [microsound] 9 beet stretch

[Peter Price <pprice@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Of course if someone augmented the notation of beethoven's 9th and had 
an orchestra play it, it would be a very different piece. It is 
important to remember that this is a quintessential example of digital 
music. It is the quality of the time stretching algorhythm that makes 
the piece what it is sonically. On a conceptual level you have to ask 
yourself if this concept would resonate as strongly with any other 
piece of classical music.
