>Sviatoslav Richter always said his three favorite composers were Richard Wagner, Claude Debussy, and Fryderyk Chopin. Richter called Wagner “the incarnation of all the arts unified - music, painting, literature, drama – and I like him all the more because he never composed a piano work.”
Was apparently an unused motif for Tristan that Wagner found many years later, polished up and gave to Cosima as a present.

Rach was a better melodist than Fagkovsky.
Bentley Howard
Both shit. Listen to real music (bach and before, ives and after)

>The work's original title was Scherzo in D minor, and it was written for Hans von Bülow, who had appointed Strauss assistant conductor of the Meiningen Court Orchestra.[1] However, von Bülow considered it a "complicated piece of nonsense" and refused to learn it. He said the piano part was "Lisztian" and "unplayable", particularly for a pianist with a small handspan (Strauss says that von Bülow could barely reach an octave). >Bülow was one of the greatest pianists of his era Small hand bros we're going home.
classical got shit in the late 1700s through to the 1820s it then started to pick up a bit around the 1830s but fell off again in terms of quality around 1835. it was then a fucking eon before it started to reclaim its glory in the form of none other than our main man. Debussy. he brought the classic sound of baroque to a new audience and revolutionised the art of evoking mental images with sonorous impressionism. tight debussy was only bested by none other than SATIE. who could play the sound of your best memories with such a light touch that it sounded like a explosion inside your mind. a flash bang of pure sonic beauty. alright peace out.
>Certainly. He was in prison just after the First World War for a fortnight, because of his left-wing sympathies.19 Nearly twenty years later, when he was sent official documents asking if he was Jewish or of Jewish extraction, he put on them “We are all Jews.”20 yikes

topkek Reminds me of the Orthodox priest in Greece who was ordered to supply a list of the names of all Jews in town. He had the townspeople hide the Jews and gave the Nazis two names: his and the mayor's.
