bon Biber

Also really into Handel and Sorabji lately (Sorabji's not just random notes fuck off). Love Gesualdo and Zelenka a whole bunch as well, but since their catalogue feels smaller than the other guys in those trinities I leave them out. Also like some smaller opera men (like Paisiello). Could never get into Scriabin much as he's been shilled arouns here, and I tried. Sometimes I'm in a Berg or Schoenberg mood and that has become more frequent but when it comes to Berg pretty much all I know are his violin concerto and operas (which I love, Wozzeck especially.) Other than them the other atonal guy I enjoy is Zimmermann but I feel I'm the only person on the planet who's into the poor bastard. Anyways I guess my third trinity would be Zimmermann, Zelenka and Gesualdo.

I included Buxtehude and Zelenka in my list because they were big influences on Bach both early on and later in his compositions.

Just compare, for example, the opening chorus to Zelenka's Miserere in C minor to the opening chorus from Bach's St John Passion.

I still prefer Bach's piece, because of it's overall length and the orchestration seems more original as well, but one cannot deny the influence. Buxtehude's influence is also evident in the chaconnes and passacaglias, as he gave him lessons early on.

Schubert
Brahms
Mahler

I must say, though, that Bach probably did not deliberately quote Zelenka's Miserere, since the harmonic structure changes really early on in the piece, and the choir is way more dramatic in Bach's Herr unser Herrscher.

Fuck you

Bach is shit.

Buxtehude more like "Sucks: The Dude" lmao
I actually only know a single piece by him

Gonna guess it's his D minor passacaglia.

Here are 2 pieces I recommend:

Yeah it was the passacaglia
Thanks for those I'll check them out

Don't like tonal music? Don't like perfection because it's hard to relate to? What's the problem buddy? Only heard a few pieces? What's up? You can talk, man, it's ok. Just explain.

Lmao why does this read like you're pushing him around with your chest

Bach's music is boring and terrible. I don't know how you guys can stand that shit.

Wagner's based, metaphysicalpilled and Schopenhauerpilled, but you gotta expand your horizons man
We pay attention

>Wagner's based, metaphysicalpilled and Schopenhauerpilled, but you gotta expand your horizons man
who would you suggest

bach
mozart
beethoven
the list goes on

Because it's not "boring and terrible". Have a listen to this: youtu.be/1OgAmsGxYYM?t=66
Or this youtube.com/watch?v=aXPUOk4-5Gg
or fucking anything but the first prelude from his WTC.
Or how about this triple fugue.. youtube.com/watch?v=nWUOVkTE_Gc
Or if you wanna follow along a counterpoint analysis
youtube.com/watch?v=pdnH13V6mBQ

If you're into Wagner try Beethoven next. Check his late string quartets (which most consider to be his masterpieces, Wagner included I believe).
Expand from there. Try Handel and Bach, both who Beethoven loved.

Wrong link for the analysis. Oops

If he's the same guy from /classical/ then he has already heard the entire WTC and thinks it's all shit and "sounds the same"
3/5 what? My post's score?

>3/5 what? My post's score?
the people you gave me

If you're gonna recommend someone Bach I'd first rec the prelude of BWV543 rather than the fugue since newcomers usually find fugues harder to get into
Based for posting 543 regardless

It's only "perfect" because every Bach piece sounds the same. I would call it atonal droning except Schoenberg is actually nice to listen to.
You pay attention to his repetitive music. Bach fans are easily amused.

Bach
Beethoven
Scriabin

my nigga chopin, i started learning violin because of him
my nigga liszt, i gave up on piano because of him
and my nigga bach because i love playing the chaconne on guitar

Yea, I linked him to the part of the fugue where the bass enters dramatically. I thought it sounded pretty cool anyways.

Based Liszt filtering people out of piano lol

Not every Bach piece sounds the same. Can you prove this? Give at least 20 examples... He wrote at least 1128 pieces, not counting the lost and burnt manuscripts. When you listen to Bach, please pay attention to the interaction between voice lines. Maybe you're missing the point?

yeah i have to stick to john william's stuff :/

You clearly don't play the piano.
You like Sorabji but not Scriabin? That's an odd one. Have a listen to Scriabin's 5th sonata by Richter and you cannot tell me that that wonderfully spacey, exotic and chromatic second theme of the sonata isn't something Sorabji could only dream of writing in his nocturnes. I'm glad to see someone into Sorabji though, I think he's really underappreciated. Listen to Szymanowski, Koechlin (Les Heures persanes) and Maurice Emmanuel (6 sonatines) as well if you haven't already; you might find something of interest there.

>Can you prove this? Give at least 20 examples
Don't bother, he can't and he won't.

Oh and that's Richter in Prague, 1972 if you're interested.

The Bach hater is my favorite Yea Forums poster right now along with gusic posters even if I disagree with everything he says

Thanks I'll check it out

Do you like Mozart?

Bach is for people who like indistinguishable melodies and boring predictable rhythms.

Bach is so gay. You can talk about music theory but you get aint getting no pussy with him.

The entire WTC.

Playing or listening to good i.e. classical music isn't going to get you any pussy unless it's classical pussy which is unicorn tier rare.

Handel

POWER GAP

Beethoven
Mozart

That applies to a lot of music. You can point out all of this which is just due to the stylistic restrictions of Baroque, which again, is just a style or genre, something most music is restricted to, but you ignore his amazing and special counterpoint. Just find some analysis video on his B flat minor fugue and be awestricken.

Don't have to talk about music theory. Just show a girl a Bach piece and she will jump on you. My mom sometimes walks in on me doing the deed.

Alright, I disagree. They don't all sound the same. Fugue no 3 and fugue no 20 from book 1 sound completely different, fugue no 2 and fugue no 1 sound completely different, fugue no 12 and fugue no 6 sound different. Why do you think they all sound the same? Can music not be similar on any grounds to another piece, even rhythmically, in order for it to be good? I'm scared to know what you think of pop.

wagner, schoenberg and shostakovich will get you some pussy

The problem is all of Bach's music are similar. Hear one fugue, you've heard them all. Hear one cantata, you've heard them all. Having contrasting rhythms is important. The people who like Bach don't care if the music is good or not, they just care about music as an academic exercise.
It doesn't really matter if the music sounds terrible.

You're either genuinely retarded and obviously a non-musician or you're a baiting piece of shit. I think it's the latter because nobody is that stupid.

Good meme.

You sound like one of those people who screams at others for liking Bach that they are 'elitists' but make snob elitist comments like these. I love Bach's music, I find it emotionally engaging, and I don't care if it's an academic exercise or not. It makes me happy, so you're wrong that people who like Bach don't care if the music is good. If you hear one fugue, you definitely haven't heard them all, lol! Having contrasting rhythms is important.. that's why Bach writes gavottes, suites, badineries, bourrées, and other dances with unique rhythmic traits. The gigue at the end of Bach's BWV 830 is in 2/1. If your argument is that they all sound stylistically similar (completely disregarding the wide range of musical genres he composed in, from Italian style concertos to German oratorios to Lutheran chorales, all with different feelings that are stylistically Baroque), I can say the same about virtually any great composer, including Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin (all sentimental fluff), Wagner, Brahms (like Chopin), even Schoenberg, Berlioz, kek man. How dare Bach have a style. Bach is epic

Bach Couperin Palestrina

>Having contrasting rhythms is important.. that's why Bach writes gavottes, suites, badineries, bourrées, and other dances with unique rhythmic traits. The gigue at the end of Bach's BWV 830 is in 2/1.
So? How does that disprove that Bach wrote repetitive rhythms for most of his work? I'm not dissing Bach for having a certain style. I'm dissing him because his style produced truly dreadful music with regularity.

>The problem is all of Bach's music are similar. Hear one fugue, you've heard them all. Hear one cantata, you've heard them all. Having contrasting rhythms is important. The people who like Bach don't care if the music is good or not, they just care about music as an academic exercise.
>"i can't enjoy it so nobody else can!"
I won't even diss you for disliking it cause obviously different things appeal to different people but c'mon man
if bach's works were loved for being academic exercises then textbooks would be considered literary greatness
there's a lot of emotion in Bach's work and whether you like it or not, it's there

If he is rhythmically repetitive, he is still melodically, harmonically and contrapuntally interesting and diverse, so one often repetitive trait becomes buried under the strengths, even though I disagree that he is rhythmically repetitive. You know what's rhythmically repetitive? A cantus firmus. What kind of music do you listen to?

The rhythms become less repetitive and more interesting when they are shun through the contrapuntal interactions of multiple melodies with their own rhythms.

Bach
Chopin
Ravel

random person here but i dont spend all my time listening to bach. rly my personal favorite is bartok . . then also i guess messiaen, prokofiev, shostakovich some other ppl like that. but if u dont see that bach is a genius . . and i personally think of him as the greatest musical mind to ever live . . . then u have a really narrow way of listening to things. maybe you are mistaking similar, recurring instrumentations as a lack of variety. maybe you are listening to the wrong recordings. there is magic in the way wrote melodies . . . please i hope you do not think that anybody who has learned schenkerian analysis could write pieces like his. yes the music is repetitive in some ways. and thats probably amplified by the fact that some performers think baroque music is meant to be dry and un-lively. . . but actually the majority of his pieces has really interesting development, some of which is predictable, but much of which i am confident you could not actually predict or write yourself. idk u might even be trolling . if not tho u r just wrong and should try again. hm. .. i think anner bylsma died recently :/

Stravinsky
Bach
Bartok

and yes this guys exactly right. within passages of bach you will find there are little melodies and motifs that happen within what seems like a longer set of running notes. and he creates rhythms that play with the meter during pieces, by using harmonic anchoring notes i guess, within a passage, and chord changes which happen not at the barline, but in a pattern creating a compelling rhythm and pulse. good example of this i think would be the fugue from the violin sonata in C major
