I want to get into classical music, but I don't know much about it or who to listen to get a grasp of all that has been around
Can you give me some suggestion?
Also if you could point me out to somewhere where I can learn more about classical, I would greatly appreciate!

Solfeggieto in c minor is a fucking banger
Thanks mate, I'll check it out!
theres a list in one of the general folders i think
It was good but desu it did not wow me, it felt a little slow? maybe
I loved this one, it is so catchy, I couldn't help but be in awe of this guy's quick finger movements!
I also checked out Bach's Fugue and I liked it as well, I will check more like this two out
Could you give me a link please? I can't find the list you mentioned

here's another catchy harpsichord piece (with orchestra)
Find things you like and track them backward and forwards. Samplers, radio, there are some films as well and there is nothing wrong with that, Amedeus got a lot of people into classical music.
But in general the canon of classical music is correct, the famous pieces are the best pieces, nobody is memeing you and the canon has been corrected at various times, usually by other top talents themselves (e.g., to reinstate J.S.Bach, a movement started by Mozart and friends and then sorted out properly by Mendelssohn).
If completely stuck it would seem to me, although not everyone agrees, that Beethoven's symphonies are something of a fulcrum point. There is everything leading up, which he synthesized, and everything following, which he blueprinted. Don't start with the first though, start with the 3rd.
Anyone have any reccs for solo piano stuff? Maybe something in the vein of Satie's Gymnopédies or Dubussy's suite bergamasque?

I'm a piano teacher and I've been playing for a long time. Save yourself the trouble and get yourself a good pedagogue. You'll learn much faster and correctly (hand positions, fingerings, etc.). For a beginner you dont need a very good teacher, so look for something around 30-40hr. DON'T APPLY TO MUSIC SCHOOLS THEY SUCK.
Your teacher should start you off with scales and simple songs to build technique. Depending on your aptitude and how much you practice, you should be an okay pianist in a year or so and only go up from there. If you have any questions, let me know I'm glad to help I love piano

Here is a nice idea, why not dip into the Proms from the 19th.

It will be on BBC Radio 3 which I assume anyone can get anywhere.
There is kind of at least one or more of everything.

sorry it must have been purged along with the jew folder
for now just learn abit of theory and listen to the anons
This isn't exactly what I was looking for, but I still really enjoyed it. I've been hesitating about taking the Baroquepill for a while and this just convinced me to stop. Thanks for posting this piece.
This is more what I had in mind. Good stuff, user. Thanks for sharing.
Easy entry-level intros you can just search on YouTube to just get started. Mind you this isn't patrician stuff, this is more popular entry level things for newcomers.
Baroque era (1650s-1730s)
Tinnier sound, harpsichords, no pianos yet, smaller ensembles, no bombastic symphonies yet. Music tends to be moodier with pretty consistent rhythms.

Classical era (1740s to 1810s)
Piano starts becoming a thing. Music is mostly meant to be pleasant and not particularly moody or edgy. Symphonies start becoming a thing, so the music starts getting a *liitle* more bombastic as Classical era evolves.
Mozart - Apollo et Hyacinthus Overture (wrote this at 11 years old)

Late Classical ---> Early Romantic era (1790-1830)
Things get moodier and more bombastic, symphony orchestras get larger ensembles.
Beethoven - Symphony 3, 5, 6
Beethoven - Piano Concerto 5
Beethoven - Symphony 7, 9
Romantic era (1820-1900)
Music starts trying to become more emotionally epic

Brahms, Dvorak, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff are also important for this era.

(Continued..)
Just follow the category on European classical music here. Start with whatever you think you will like the most. Romanticism is the most accessible, however, in my opinion.
On second thought i aint continuing with this.
For late Romantic and Modernism,
Debussy
Mahler
Stravinsky
Schoenberg
Bartok
The rock section of the chart truly sucks. Is the classical section better?
Not him but i think the chart is meant as a rough guide/intro into periods/genres, not as a definitive statement on what's "best".
What's wrong with the rock section?
>the famous pieces are the best pieces
this has never been true about anything
In classical music, it is for the most part. Of course you'll find plenty of underrated gems, but almost all the popular stuff is really good.
Honestly, the only period worth listening to is Baroque.
It is in this case because it's about progression and influence. It's self fulfilling in some ways perhaps. Practically though it's true too, this is a fairly universal experience. You can go off piste with Mozart say, but all you'll find is the stuff he cranked out for quick money and just sounds like twiddling, the late string quartets are not going to face a late challenge but you can go on the journey I guess. Tends to be the same with obscure composers, if it's popular enough to be recorded, its already been be gone through a million times by other people. I'm not saying you can't enjoy this stuff but the process has been pretty thorough for hundreds of years, it's not like other types of music.
