Nur mal so am Rande zu Rational vs. Emotional – Zitat aus einem Interview mit György Ligeti:
GL: I think that emotion and intellect are not separate. […] If you make intelligent, intellectual judgements, it’s emotion. The judges who put in prison people, or even condemn to death, they are not rational, totally.
Q: Yes, we are fed this completely mendacious dichotomy between emotion and intellect…
GL: Yes, which is false, this dichotomy does not exist. There are many naive people saying ‚we don’t understand modern music because it’s so intellectual‘. This is simply not true.
