Kubrick is dishonest about the music scores......

Rating: 9/10 (9 December 1999)

Whilst utmost respect is donned on the late Kubrick for this masterpiece, there is some dishonesty in the closing credits concerning the music.

The three composers whose music he used are Bartok, Ligeti and Pendereki, and Kubrick only gives full credit to Bartock. He names the piece.

This is because any music lover would identify the piece by Bartok because in the music world it is too well known. He HAS to fully credit it. However, why no full credit to the other two composers? The pieces used are lesser known, but any musician would know them well.....
Kubrick knew the POWER the chosen scores gave the film, in many of the scenes the acting was choreographed to the music rather than the other way round. The music is what completes the brilliance of this film.
The only reason Kubrick chose not to fully credit the music scores he used is simple. He wanted the credit himself! Bartock was the original creator of the style of music. Bartok's "Night Music". Ligeti and Pendereki created music of the same style using Bartoks original creations as their inspiration. Bartok is well known, Ligeti lesser so.
Kubrick KNEW he could probably getaway with it as only a serious musician would notice.
KUBRICK OWED A DEBT TO THE GENIUS OF HIS COMPOSERS
