Talk:Jay Greenberg (composer)

message: The update story on 60 Minutes just now said that his parents had no musical ability. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.100.191.44 (talk • contribs) 
:Not actually true. I know the composer's father and he is a quite good amateur pianist. 130.132.144.169 20:09, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's possible there's some confusion caused by the fact that his father's name is Robert Greenberg, and there is a different Robert Greenberg who is also a musician. +Angr 13:59, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

message: How can he have a Symphony no. 5 without having no. 1, 2, 3 and 4? Is that just because it was the only symphony which he released, or does he pick random numbers for his symphonies? ► Adriaan90  ( Talk ♥ Contribs ) ♪♫ 11:40, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Symphony numbering is not so clear and logical as you suggest. Although in the case of Greenberg, he has actually composed 1, 2, 3, and 4, and I suspect more. As far as we know, Schubert didn't even bother to number his, and Bach seems not to have numbered any of his compostions. The BWV numbers were assigned by a music publisher, as were the K. numbers for Mozart's stuff. In both cases, they seem to have gotten the chronological sequence wrong in several respects. For that matter, there are similar issues with Hayden's work and with Vivaldi's. Many issues in musicology, or musical archaeology, are less than well understood. 67.86.174.12 12:34, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  I suppose, unlike earlier composers, he [i.e. Greenberg] would have numbered the symphonies chronologically himself to prevent confusion... although there are disadvantages to this system. Someone like Brahms, for instance, didn't number his string quartets because he claims to have written twenty of them before he could conscientiously allow one to be published; if he had numbered them all, his first string quartet might have been published as #21, which would prompt the question of what happened to the other twenty (and likely lower Brahms's esteem in the eyes of the German music critics and listeners alike). If Greenberg does choose to renumerate his symphonies in this way, as symphonies 1 to 4 may have simply not been very good, he'll have to most likely number his next symphonies as #1-4, as this one already has gathered some reputation as #5. (Although, I preferred the quintet anyway.) 130.132.144.169 20:09, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Would it be reasonable to speculate whether Greenberg's ability could be likened to clairaudience?
In the latest 60 Minutes program it was described rather vividly how he hears the music performed fully orchestrated in his head. He himself also used the term "multi-channeling" which he had been told was the name for his ability to hear two or three works performed simultaneously and still retaining an additional (apparently rather undisturbed) "channel" for dealing with everyday life. __meco 14:24, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: um, no I don't think that would be reasonable, and many composers can hear multiple layers of melody in their head. Drsmoo 09:22, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the latter part of what you write certainly has no bearing on my question. __meco 16:59, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Anyway, I propose that "Greenberg describes the process by which he receives the music in such a way that he hears..." be changed to "Greenberg says he hears...", eliminating fourteen wasteful words and removing the POV term "receives". I'll change it now, and if anyone objects he can explain his objection here. TheScotch (talk) 07:06, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not at all certain that the process described in the words of Greenberg himself isn't more comparable to that described in p. 201 and pp. 208–211 of Gopi Krishna's Kundalini: The Evolutionary Energy in Man. __meco (talk) 11:24, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clairaudience 

message: Hey everybody! I came to read this article as I was talking about him with some friends today - I noted that it says that he studies Music at Peterhouse as of 2012, which I'm afraid is wrong. He started his studies in 2009. I unfortunately can't give you a written source for that, which I know Wikipedia always (rightfully) asks for, but we've been matriculated together at Peterhouse in 2009, and to my knowledge he has even left Peterhouse by now. The source which is given as a reference for him starting in 2012 doesn't have anything at all about Jay, by the way, so is no better.
