Genetical reconstruction
on: September 19, 2008, 11:40:55 AM
Do you know what these words are: "Genes , DNA , Hereditary"?
We'll of course you must know.

let us say that you invented a genetic programming device.
and you are a pianist. you happen to be a fan of a certain composer named ---.
then one day you came up the idea that genes dictate that how we look like?.
and it also came to the Idea that "What if you can program a certain gene that will look like a certain composer and then clone him?

Wish that you can Understand?

to make it even more interesting, We'll consider these composers re-incarnating in their own copied bodies.

Who will you clone?Why?

Maybe, it would be Liszt.

obviously your is chopin because it is from your other topic in your forum.

Nice idea but isn't that cloning is against the Church.
I wish that you would'nt do that for real.

I had studied the history of Chopin's composition and the quality of his compositions did deteriorate as he got older

Did I put that in another topic? huh...
Yeah it is but that's why we're discussing it on here and not in the real world, it's make believe. I know, when his tb really kicked in. That's why it would be interesting to see what happens if he didn't fall ill.

What if growing up in todays society, Chopins wound up raised by the TV and grew into a couch potato instead ;)

Chopin would be in some lame emo band if he were around today.  He'd also probably be a cutter.  And gay or at least bi.

I, also, wouldn't mind Chopin. Mendelsohhn as well. Or perhaps Rachmaninoff.

You must be writing of a different Chopin. The quality of work of the one that we all know improved immensely, although even in some of his early work he had already displayed a most remarkable degree of maturity, almost as though he had no need to go through some of the developing stages that most composers do, arriving almost fully formed, so to speak. The increasing contrapuntal intricacy that informs work such as the F minor Ballade, B minor sonata, Barcarolle, Nocturnes Op. 62, Polonaise-Fantaisie and Cello Sonata alone shows how Chopin's language went through a continuous process of refinement and expansion; I could almost imagine him writing a piano quintet had he survived until his mid-50s. He remained obsessively fastidious, having to get everything just right before he was sufficiently satisfied to allow a piece to be published. Your statement here therefore makes no recognisable sense.

Best,

  As far as I know Chopin was the only composer who wrote music mainly for the piano, in-fact he changed his compositions a lot and he got most of his close students to write out the music for him he was way to lazy. So we can't be 100% sure if what we hear and what we play today is exactly what Chopin intended.

For me,If I will be given a chance. I am going to clone LOONBOHOL. :P

Just to know that he will compose a bweautiful song for me.
I want to have a Impromptu named "Impromptu for ShineRL".

Impromptu for Healdie is a really nice composition.
I want to have the PDF file of Healdie Impromptu.

Then Since he is only 15 yrs. old.
He will be my personal composer slave and he will compose what will be my composition.

I have to say I would want chopin back too, also, liszt - I want to hear what their interpretations of their own compositions are. Very interesting
