Talk:Thomas Adès

message: What kind of music does he write? Hyacinth 05:11, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hard to sum up. Rhythm is highly complex (characterised by irrational meters and layered polyrhythms); harmony is typically consonant (characterised by major and minor triads moving up and down the scale); instrumentation aims for a particular, rather glossy sound (characterised by extreme registers, preference for the high partials of the overtone series, pots-and-pans percussion, occasional klangfarbenmelodie and a love of colouristic sound effects); structural approach is traditional (overt and somewhat theatrical, with structural use of tension and resolution). "Postmodern" is a non-description; "eclectic" belies the relative consistency of these features over about two decades. "Neoromantic" is an inconsistent description (accurate for the extremely Wagnerian Tevot, not so much for—say—Concerto Conciso). We'll just have to wait for some writer on music to actually come up with a proper analysis I guess. :P Temevorn 02:46, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

message: My understanding is that the name Adès was invented by Adès himself and that his parents are called Ades. His mother is, unless I'm terribly misguided, Professor Dawn Ades, OBE, FBA, who is not called Dawn Adès, except by people who principally know her as the mother of Thomas Adès and assume that they have the same surname. Is there any more information available on this?--Oxonian2006 (talk) 21:27, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

message: He's categorised as LGBT, and I can see from the above that he is indeed gay.  But there is precisely zero mention of his sexuality in the article proper.  We cannot have people categorised as X unless there's something in the article to support that categorisation.  Having the information buried in one or more of our sources is not sufficient; it must be made explicit.  --  Jack of Oz [Talk] 10:34, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

message: The chronology of his education is very confusing: stating his secondary education last makes it unclear as to whether he went first to Oxford or Guildhall  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.13.200.81 (talk) 10:54, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
