/classical/, what's your favorite Beethoven string quartet?
Daniel Ross
Op. 131
Jace Wood
I actually really like his String Quartet No. 11inF minor,Op.95, "Serioso". He clearly wrote it in a fit of inspired anger, probably why he didn't allow it to be publicly performed. Beethoven is more interesting to me when he's raging; when he tries to be more gentile and sentimental I can't help thinking how Mozart or Haydn would've been more agile with the material.
It’s an interesting and lovely medium. At one point, it certainly was a format with more ambition and depth than instrumental music. But that period was more than 300 years ago. Now it is at best lateral.

>boring Get out.
Brandon Richardson
Fauré sucked cocks
Liam Gomez
You know I'm right. It's like who the fuck actually think some retard plucking on a string with nothing else is better than a lovely human voice along with the strings.
Luis Williams
>You know I'm right I know it's just your opinion and that you should leave.
Have you seen a performance of Handel's Giulio Cesare?
Evan Myers
no why is it good?
Asher Turner
No it’s much worse than any Andy Warhol film. It is exceedingly boring in every conceivable way. I was just probing familiarity with the operatic canon.
Is it too late to become a great composer? Anything I do will be called derivative and certainly won't be successful anyway because art is dictated by people with money.
Noah Ortiz
Do it for yourself
Nicholas Brown
Based. Although it's really tough to choose between 130, 131 and 132.
No it's not. Music was always dictated by people and money. Just do your thing
Parker Bennett
just write what you want. well-written music is well-written music, whether it's in this style or that. ask yourself if you have the talent to write great music first and be honest with yourself. you don't want to waste your time if you're not cut out for it.
Being a great composer doesn't even mean shit. Composers are meant to work themselves to the bone and and most likely die in the gutter forgotten. If you need to compose for the sake of glory, pay or legacy then you're doing it for all the wrong reasons.
Jonathan Nguyen
>Music was always dictated by people and money Yeah, it was, you dumbass. The only reason why we have a lot of greatest music is because someone was paying for it, either directly to the artist or by supporting the music scene in some way. There are no mainstream composers today because nobody is paying to promote it as an artistic movement that the general cultureless pleb should care about.

lady mcbeth of mtsensk symphony 4 is a close second string quartet 7 is somewhere up there too
Listening to Mahler 9 recording with orgasm noises from the wheelchair guy on BBC Radio 3. I didn't hear him yet, but they are still playing the program from the first part.
Carson Hill
i can just about make him out in one of the pauses between movements it got worse in the mahler so i reckon they wont be able to take them out hopefully mckinney will say something
Brody Stewart
He already mentioned it in the introduction with very friendly words.
sound engineers did a great job, couldnt hear the guy for the most part nothing they could to about the ending though, guy was quite literally screaming
i'd never listened to him before, thanks for posting his stuff
Grayson Green
symphony no. 7, piano concerto no. 2 and op. 100 no. 5 and 6 his nocturnes, barcarolles are all great. the masques et bergamasques suite is really good too
Nolan Rogers
>barcarolles are all great I feel like those go down in quality halfway through. What happened? The first couple are the most amazing pieces I have ever heard... then the later ones are just boring aimless wank.
Oliver Gray
I realize that this is baroque, not classical, but I just bought pic related. It includes Lully, Charpentier, Couperin, Rameau -- but also such masters as Campra, Lalande and Mondonville. Who should I listen to first?
