When I listen to this I can’t help but imagine me as an old woman at my final hours in life. Just starring at the sun one last time, enveloped in a preview of my life, thinking of all the things I’ve learned and got to experience. Then as I shed one final tear, everything slowly fades away until I’m pulled into a new life, surrounded by a new type of love, not love because of loss, but love because of birth. And then I picture the old soul leaving the new floating peacefully into space. And the old soul forms into another star in another galaxy. The thought of death scares me a lot because you never know when it will happen or what comes after. But in a sense the universe and space comforts me because I know that whatever we did on earth, was important because without us, the universe wouldn’t be known as beautiful. It’s amazing that we can feel the emotion of what “beauty” is and be able to make the milky ways, planets, moons, stars, comets, and ect. be the description of what beauty is. I don’t know what other life is out there, but to me, having that understanding of emotion for something bigger than we could ever imagine is pretty unique and creates a purpose for us.
Sorry I get carried away lol, probably didn’t make sense but that’s just what I think
>Dvorak's 'Nigger Quartet' is one of the best things I've ever heard Am I based or cringe, friends?
Nathan Nelson
it actually sounds more "Chinese" than "American"
Xavier Hall
melody is in a pentatonic scale
Benjamin Mitchell
What's even remotely 'American' on this piece? It's just as European as every other piece.
Jack Harris
I am a music illiterate, I can't understand what that means, but Dvorak's American quartet sounds kinda exotic and "Asian" and probably influenced Debussy and Ravel for their impressionist works especially their string quartets
Mad respect to this general though I've never done more than lurk. I'm a pleb looking for comfy entry level stuff, preferably modern/more accessible/more similar to film scores. Got any reccs for the stuff in the mega links?
Dvorak is good for entry-level stuff youtube.com/watch?v=4LaLl3irxsw If you want some "modern/more accessible/more similar to film scores" try Romantic pieces and later stuff like Mahler, Berlioz, and Stravisky.
Carson Morgan
God bless.
Grayson Kelly
Tchaikovsky, Tchaikovsky, Tchaikovsky. Or Schumann if you're fine with messy orchestration. God, Schumann is an example of what not to do regarding orchestration.
David Parker
Noted, thanks for the help.
Joseph Wilson
Schumann is an example of what not to do regarding your music and personal life
William Morgan
I'd argue he has some good pieces, but his personal life was, in many ways, an utter mess, and in terms of being messy, it only loses to his orchestration. God, it's so muddy.
I saw a "Classical Music Guide" published by Gramophone in a library close to my home and it included a list with pretty much every relevant composer from each era (like 15-20 names) but no Buxtehude in the Baroque list So I took a piss on it
I too have trouble sometimes recollecting Mahler's symphonic works. I think his melodies are not as iconic as Beethoven. Literally the only motif I remember from Mahler is the Jewish stuff from the trauermarsche of his 1st, and the pressing March from his 6th. Everything else might be beautiful, but memorable it is not. Not to me at least.
Don't judge. Some people like composers and their music for non-musical reasons. No reason to spoil this fagboy's day by telling him Scoeny wasn't gay.
How to not start crying everytime I play Moonlight Sonata from beginning to end? :/
Christopher Turner
Don't be a fag or a woman
Charles Perry
Why is there so much octave doubling in classical works? Muh simplicity or laziness?
Elijah Bennett
I really like Mozart, I actually do. I was in Salzburg last week and saw Cosi fan Tutte live, was based as fuck. My favorite symphony definately this one...
But is his stuff redpilled or subversive? It's definately beautiful but he was a freemason and a lot of his work is shady to say the least, promoting a lot of degeneracy in operas and some satanic shit. Not a christcuck btw, just curious.
Logan Sullivan
What is the greatest cello concerto of all time and why is it Dvorak?
It fills out the melody and compensates for quiet instruments If you give an orchestra too many lines at once it just sounds muddy, there are practical limits to polyphony
Carson Clark
That quartet is supposedly the first to try to play everythinfg 100% according to the tempo marks, if that means anything
Luke Rodriguez
they're not in tune though fucking marketeers, why does every recording have to be a meme
Sebastian White
>vivaldo
Blake Parker

I'm ready to take the Renaissance pill. Recommend me essential composers and works. If anyone's deep into the period and has favourite recordings, please share. I will absorb your wisdom and carry it on.
Also Gombert Motets by Beauty Farm, its 4 CDs, is on rutracker also
And Gesualdo madrigals book 5 and 6 by Delitiae Musicae directed by Marco Longhini(this guy is the Celibidache of Renaissance conducting) Of course do not ignore Josquin and Palestrina I'm just more attracted to the edgy side of renaissance (Gombert, Gesualdo, Victoria etc..)
If you're a *cringe* *normie* talking only about the second movement, you can try not being a faggot. If you're talking about the entire sonata you're *based* and very *redpilled* keep going.
Owen Kelly
>second movement The meme one is the first dumb user
Daniel Stewart
Is there a more patrician and listenable piece than Jeux?
Speaking of Bach what's with all the recordings that change the rythm or whatever it is in the very first prelude? Lot of them are "exact" to the score but some seem to take longer between the first two note of each "section" and the following triad(?), if you know what I mean. I don't know theory but oh well. I feel like some recordings try to add something to make the music more "dynamic" in that prelude and I don't like it
Jack Nelson
>tfw Russian five, Chabrier, Faure, and Scriabin Whats the comfiest classical music and why is it La belle epoque?
Performers tend to take a lot of liberties with Bach, partly because there aren't many performance instructions in baroque scores, and (in that case) partly because the first prelude is very well known, so they feel the need to add their own personal flair.
Nathaniel Perry
I'm a Baroque man myself. Bach, Handel, Vivaldi... the list could go on.
Do you know of a recording not in equal temperament that doesn't do that?
Ryder Bailey
nope. WTC recordings tend to be in equal temperament. Occasionally you might find one in well temperament, but trying to find that considering the tuning is the same as the title might be fun.
you could try something like this, with a variety of tunings and without any performer fucking your shit up: youtube.com/watch?v=f8M-JzIwbog
Tyler Collins
they are sacrilegious people and deserve to be burn publicly
