Synopsis

The fairy tale of the "unfinished" and their completions. Music as an exit from time: a fear challenge. Composers who want to reverse the course of history with their art, convinced that music sound the plagues of evil. And they fall on the path to light. At the origin of so many scores without ending, there is fear of a revelation; almost never, the sudden death of their creators. Even the most famous sphinx of music: the so-called .Unfinished symphony. by Schubert, is a visionary symphony in two movements, and not a mutilal torso. Schumann, Bruckner and Mahler knew this, and they took due account of it; we, no more. For us, every unfinished score is looting material for musicologists in the smell of holiness. We live on the paper tears of the Sommi, because we do not know how to express a culture. But at the origin of many empty jokes, in Queue to the last masterpieces, there is a rejection: that the artist becomes pontiff of otherworldly values; that he elaborates mourning for the death of God. Unfinished music is the report of a lost season: when music believed to change the world; and its creators noticed, and they killed the will already drawn up for posterity.
