There you go. Anyone can say that his dog is as good an actor as Michael Caine, and anyone who opposes, is a snob. I doubt many would take acting classes with the owner of such wise judgement.

Idiotic analogy. The fact is that cuisine is an art whether or not you like it, and there is a difference between Ronald McDonald's and Michel Roux.Count Lucanor wrote: ↑April 15th, 2020, 9:55 pmThere you go.

I don't like Bach very much. Too religious for my liking. He pandered too much to his patrons. Now Beethoven is REAL talent.Jklint wrote: ↑April 16th, 2020, 3:21 amReally count, I have no idea why you would think there's any difference between something like this...Count Lucanor wrote: ↑April 15th, 2020, 9:55 pm

A Soufflé can give as much pleasure as Bach.

Re: What is Art?
Oh, sure, haven't you seen the unbelievable amount of scholars and other specialists talking about the fabulous innovations and techniques of the great soufflés of history? There was a famous one made for the King of France, unfortunately he ate it, so the masterpiece was lost. All we have is the previous sketches and a whole chapter in the king's diary, lasting several days.Jklint wrote: ↑April 16th, 2020, 3:21 amReally count, I have no idea why you would think there's any difference between something like this...Count Lucanor wrote: ↑April 15th, 2020, 9:55 pm

Re: What is Art?
I wonder what happened to it after he ate it! Why is it that all supreme masterpieces of the culinary arts never last long compared to the second rate stuff like the B minor mass and Beethoven's Missa Solemnis. I'm convinced that Beethoven would have enjoyed life more had he become a master chef instead of a composer. No doubt the pretzel would have been discovered much earlier.Count Lucanor wrote: ↑April 16th, 2020, 12:27 pmOh, sure, haven't you seen the unbelievable amount of scholars and other specialists talking about the fabulous innovations and techniques of the great soufflés of history?

That's not a valid conclusion, but, Lemon meringue is my triumph.
A good steak, with mustard sauce with Pomme Frites with mayonnaise, followed by Lemon Meringue whilst listening to Beethoven is the pinnacle of artistic appreciation.
Self-styles Count Luckless might pretend to like Bach - but no one really wants to listen to that choral droning for long.

Re: What is Art?
Yes, the poor lost souls of Bach and Beethoven missed their chances for true greatness. Just imagine the amount of musical ideas contained in a single work by any of them, the different melodic passages, their accompanying harmony, the modal changes, the instrumentation, I mean, literally dozens and dozens of musical ideas and variables that had to be put together to form a unity, all of that compared to the extreme complexity and variety of a spinach soufflé or a lemon pudding, with perhaps hundreds of cooking variables that only a true genius could manage.Jklint wrote: ↑April 16th, 2020, 4:26 pmI wonder what happened to it after he ate it!

But hey, let's not get carried away and become snobs here, even the hot dog car at the street corner delivers pure artistry. Pretending that high-end cooking is better would be pure vanity.

Re: What is Art?
Kind of ironic isn't it. Universally considered as one the greatest composers of all time yet no one really wants to listen to that choral droning for long. So what do you think of Handel, the other giant of the baroque though not quite considered his equal?Sculptor1 wrote: ↑April 16th, 2020, 6:15 pmThat's not a valid conclusion, but, Lemon meringue is my triumph.

But once you have Beethoven you have most of what you need.
