Instead of white guilt, in the music world there is "classical" guilt. We keep lowering the standards for other kinds of music to compensate and preserve our dream of marxist culturalism. Of perfect musical relativism. Guess what? It isn't true and the compositional talent and imagination displayed, which is all that counts in the end when we have to say what is worth being saved and what not, is infinitely superior in classical music than in any other form of music.

This thread is for the discussion of music in the Western classical tradition.

The average person can’t name a single piece from Mozart, Bach, Chopin, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Haydn, Wagner, or Debussy. The only classical composer who the average person today can name a piece from is Beethoven.
Jeremiah Jenkins
It's because of the fucking dog movies.
Lucas Lee
the majority of classical music is boring.
Jackson Jackson
The average person can’t name a single piece from Zelenka, Scriabin, Dallapiccola, Sorabji, Messiaen, Globokar, Boulez, or de Machaut. The only classical composer who the average person today can name a piece from is Petzold.

Clair de Lune is the more obvious choice for Debussy. Ride of the Valkyries for Wagner. I don't think the average person could name a single Haydn piece if they tried
Carter Harris
most people have probably heard deutschland uber alles without realizing haydn wrote the original melody.
Oliver Long
I've said negative things about Sibelius in here before, but he's really grown on me recently. The second and fifth symphonies especially
Oliver Rodriguez
I didn't even know that
Ayden Mitchell
the only time i've ever really enjoyed sibelius was when i heard his 7th performed live by esa pekka salonen and i was half-asleep so i wasn't entirely paying attention. just listening to it with zero regard for form or motivic development, it's actually really pleasing. it's when you sit down and really focus on it that it becomes a problem.
Cooper Anderson
After listening to nothing but Beethoven last week, a little break from perfect structural form is refreshing
Isaiah Brown
I don't actually listen to classical music, I just pretend to, to sound smarter than everyone else. I only actually listen to electronic music.

is this it ? is this the power of """ handel"" ?
William Hall
Ah yes, a composer who respects the double bass. My mind of man.
no the Power of "Deutsche Grammophon"- Grammophon the worst recording technique on earth. Thus everyone with money would buy himself a music machine in the pre 1900s youtube.com/watch?v=J4z9Nw3y2DI
Jackson Wilson
Just to lurk then? Since you have nothing to discuss about classical music
Lincoln Murphy
I’m new to Wagner. Can somebody explain why people hate modern Bayreuth?
Best recording of Mendelssohn's Lieder ohne Worte?
Parker Myers
So then how am supposed to get into Wagner if I want to get an authentic experience? Should I try to find a dvd with subtitles or should I somehow track down a traditional performance?
Listening to this guy for the first time outside of the Stabat Mater, and holy shit, what a total genius. Reminds me of Mozart, in that they share the same endless surprising melodic invention. Christ, how sad a loss to the history of music?
Bill Evans knew more about tonal Harmony than Arnold Schoenberg
Monteverdi was the most tasteful composer of all time
If you haven't listened to at least 60 Bach cantatas, you should kill yourself
Chopin is the most often mentioned composer whanever I ask girls about their fav composer, meaning that he may actually be the best composer of all time and not Bach (because women are the superior sex, so their opinion matters more)
Love Pergolesi, first time I learned of him was when studing Pulcinella by Stravinsky, he reworks a lot of work by Pergolesi but with a neo-classical twist youtube.com/watch?v=8Co59z073eg

who exactly did you think was going to take this bait seriously?

Since my thread is getting no traction I am going to shill it here because I would like to see people on this threads thoughts on this

>women are the superior sex, so their opinion matters more This is actually true. Women are based
