I was uploading some videos to YouTube yesterday, and came upon the comments stream for our video, Pierrot Lunaire: a Cabaret Opera. “Pierrot” has been viewed more than 27 000 times, and has 49 comments. Below, an edited sample of these:

I’m very impressed by the musicians playing without scores. I’d very much like to see this work performed.

the musicians playng WITH scores. All sounds are In scores

You know, most musicians play by memory outside of classical and sometimes jazz contexts . . .
ColonelColostomy (1 year ago)
Well, duh. I meant I’m particularly impressed with this because it’s a very complicated score.
abyssalservant (1 year ago)
True. But examine people like Meshuggah, Behold . . The Arctopus and so for more memorized complications.
I personally find it a lot easier to play stuff by memory – if I’ve memorized it, I’ve practiced it that much more.

this performance makes a mockery of schoenberg’s original performance instruction. The music is intended to be interesting enough without the vocalist trivializing it with cheap theatrics. thats egotistical directors for you.

Yeah.. but pierrot lunaire is all about cheap theatrics.

I disagree. This work is based on a character from the commedia dell’arte tradition, and I think the visual aspect here is compelling. And for the everyday audience, it better conveys the meaning of the text.

Yup. Life’s too short.

Are you people deaf or totally insane!? This is so unbelievably terrible I want to pull out my ears and eat them.

It’s actually supposed to sound like this, a brilliantly devised atonal work. It’s not supposed to be easy on your ears.
Mr9n (2 months ago)
It’s supposed to sound terrible eh?
Sherendor (2 months ago)

This is the worst/scarriest thing I’ve ever seen. If someone dropped acid before seeing this, it would be all over for that guy.

Clever piece my ass.. This song is straight up freaky weird and I bet half of you serialism connoisseurs could even understand half of the what the lady is singing. I’d rather listen to Beethoven or Mozart..
