Which composer is the most absolutely fucking stranger things and szechuan sauce tier fucking epic0
Kevin Wright
bach
Christopher Collins
What is the best source for finding out about a specific violin maker? I'm finding a few for sale online that interest me but when I look up the names of the labels I can't find shit other than a book listing the name and another name spelled just slightly different. That's literally all I can get since there is absolutely zero info about him or his violins.
Austin Roberts
Petzold
Nolan Mitchell
What does that even mean A composer that pseuds like and think makes them awesome because of it? Idk Stravinsky probably
To be fair that's one of the few things I agree with him on. "Alla turca" is not the title, it's a direction. It means "In the Turkish style" or "Sounding Turkish". It might imply you're supposed to disregard the reading of apoggiaturas as long notes (as Leopold Mozart implied was common practice for him and Mozart), because if you ignore then in this movement and play them short it sounds a lot more "Turkish." Beethoven does the same thing (that is, using short apoggiaturas) in his famous Turkish March, probably to have the same effect.
beethoven mozart would have a straight upward curve

Kevin Davis
wait, reddit likes them? Guess i should stop liking them then
Owen Gutierrez
him and tchaikovsky are still the only people i enjoy listening to
James Walker
That's the first step. Now listen to nothing but sacred medieval and renaissance polyphonic music and madrigals, Mozart, Bach, Haydn, Wagner recordings from before 1955, and modernist atonal pieces with no discernible melody, and you will finally be /classical/ approved!

Jacob Torres
i must base all my tastes around a website i never go to. Thankfully even i dont go there, i can rely on everyone letting me know what's reddit
I can't stop listening to Bach I actually can't. I was gonna go to sleep 2 hours ago and have been listening to him in bed since. Currently it's this OVPP+R recording of the Great Mass. Pretty good especially as far as OVPP goes. Not really getting as much "drama" or "feeling" as I wished from it though
same for me, except I was going to get out of bed 2 hours ago

TUUUUBA MIIIIIRUM SPARGENS SOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOONUM

Reddit definitely loves Mahler way too much. The trinity definitely doesn't feature Wagner though he wuz racist n shiet, Debussy also isn't THAT popular. The trinity has to be >Shostakovich >Mahler >Tchaikovsky/Chopin/Rachmaninoff
Jaxson Cook
Redditor here. Reddit trinity is >Bach >Rach >Mahler
Like the rest of the pseuds, they hate Mozart.
Samuel Cook
you need to go back
Camden Wood
Everyone goes to Reddit, including you. :P
Cooper Jones
I go there to cringe, same as 4channel and your posts.
Carson Powell
>Mestersinger Edition so what is the best recording?
his late works irritate me, both the neoclassical and cereals stuff. I don't get why Stravinsky gets programmed so often, but other (and better) modern composers don't.
Jayden Reyes
How does programming relate to strabdinkly?
Daniel Gutierrez
Which modern composers were better than stravinsky? i.e. more consistent/brilliant I mean I prefer e.g. Prokofiev's instrumental writing but it took him a long time to develop -- his early stuff is uneven. Stravinsky had a clarity of vision that is extremely rare.
practically everyone """atonal""" it repels drooling retards but attracts midwits that can't see beyond the gimmick
Wyatt Myers
>gimmick yes yes we get it, abundance of dissonance bad
Jaxson Reyes
>abundance of dissonance bad Why, yes.
John Reed
Why does /classical/ insist on being pretentious instead of listening to beautiful pieces like Canon in D and Eine Kleine Nachtmusik?
Adrian Sullivan
Those aren't beautiful. They are positively anodyne.
Parker Thompson
>muh big hans and unplayable piano passages
Jack Barnes
based Rach making beta manlets rage
Nathan King
Bach's flute sonatas have some of the most beautiful melodies ever written.
Leo Myers
Actually the most unplayable passages are written by composers who have no facility for the piano and don't understand the mechanics of playing it. Schoenberg's Piano Concerto is more technically demanding than one of Rach's.
Carter Ross
>Know Bach is objectively the best >Still don't listen to his music because I find it boring
consistent in quality, writing in the same style for 60 years is detestable, not admirable dude I love enescu but he was simply not on the same level, his stuff sounds very much like its influences
maybe Bartok is a serious competitor but his large scale works were never as successful as Stravinsky's
Anthony Bailey
string players are great and typically the only ones I like have classical training. dave swarbrick, e.g.
Robert Ortiz
>writing in the same style for 60 years Wrong, but okay.
Angel Ramirez
I think he meant that in reference to most other composers.
>That crystal clear diction even while screaming at the top of his lungs How did he do it? I can barely maintain my diction while singing at a moderate volume.
>everyone always says the best Don Giovanni recording is the one with Giulini What the FUCK that recording has one of the worst Dons ever and an overacting Leporello
>when a composer traverses renaissance and baroque eras >when a composer traverses classicism and romanticism >when a composer traverses romanticism and modernism And thus, my trinity? Monteverdi, Beethoven, Scriabin.
I'd recommend some mazurkas and nocturnes, but you might find them boring as well, depends on the mood and much you even like moody/folky romantic piano miniatures. Listen to the ballades maybe.
Before the 19th century, works selected for publication were a small minority, which is why a lot of composers have about a dozen Opera - all of them mature. This holds true from Schütz
Carter Gutierrez
Why isn't the average person smart enough to listen to classical other than "muh emotion" late Romanticism?
Luis Sanders
because the average IQ is like 95
Jackson Howard
>short attention span >too used to a one or two genres of music, doesn't want to explore >no one else listens to it >hard to get into, too many composers and pieces, all named "Opus 13, K504 - Concerto for Piano and Violin - Vienna Orchestra (Dudamel)".
Christian Moore

Xavier Martin
too bad I already saved it, better luck next time kid
adding dots when there are none and completely ignoring the second of the double dots whenever they can. are they reading a different score than i am? also this gipsy modality lacks charm
Zachary Myers
what's the most vigorous concerto you've heard? i love it when the orchestra and the lead instrument are fucking each other with passion
Robert Bailey
That 60 hour long spotify playlist an user posted some threads ago
Nicholas Rivera
>what's the most vigorous concerto you've heard? i love it when the orchestra and the lead instrument are fucking each other with passion
Fuck Panufnik and fuck counting. I like his music and it is rewarding once you get it right.
Jacob Evans
Tarantella was my favorite cello piece to play.
I also found Dotzauer really satisfying, but also very difficult to play.
Joseph Walker
None
Justin Anderson
Unironically, Pachebel's canon and the Four Seasons wre the greatest piece of music before Bach. Fuck Renaissance and Medieval """""""music"""""""
Luis Morgan
Listen from beginning to end the studies. Then, the most popular preludes, nocturnes, mazurkas, waltzes. Then, the two piano concertos, the first and third Ballad, and the two concertos.
>tfw so many people don't like Mozart or Bach because they don't know how to listen to music They shouldn't be allowed to listen to anything at all to be honest
Lucas Roberts
desu, Bach was a better composer than Shakespeare was a writer, and Bach is discussed far more here than Shakespeare was, so no, not really.
William Perez
>Bach was a better composer than Shakespeare was a writer Lmao >Bach is discussed far more here than Shakespeare was Bach is discussed more here than Shakespeare is on Yea Forums? You've clearly never gone there.
Gabriel Howard
Bach was a terrible composer. Shakespeare was actually good.
Evan Scott
OK, how about this: Bach wrote more good music than all of his contemporaries and predecessors combined, and he bet much deserves to be called, “The Father of Music.” Certainly, “The Homer of Music.”
Blake Gray
Delusional. Shakespeare is immortal while Bach is only really relevant in the small world of classical music.
Alexander Reyes
Yeah, I have. Specific to this general, Bach is discussed more Here then Shakespeare is discussed on that. I don’t know how something so obvious and self evidence can be denied. It’s like saying classical music isn’t an extremely niche genre In Yea Forums.
Kayden Gonzalez
Bach fans are the worst. He wasn't the "Father of Music" or anything close to it.
Camden Hall
No, Bach is not "discussed" here (since he is barely discussed at all and mentions of him mostly come down to people saying he is shit and others then saying he isn't) more than Shakespeare is discussed on Yea Forums
Grayson Thomas
It’s not fair comparison, because it’s much easier for Literature, being more conceptual, transcend other arts. Again, I’m not saying Shakespeare has contributed less than Bach, only that Bach has Contributed more to music, And there are fewer who can match his accomplishments in that field, at least compared to Shakespeare, who has Milton, Virgil, and Homer. Bach also has the benefit Of speaking in a more universal language, which is certainly music compared to Shakespeare’s style of English.
Joshua Wright
>only that Bach has Contributed more to music He really hasn't though.
Josiah Reed
Again, my experience is exactly the opposite. I guarantee if you get a bunch of posts across Yea Forums And see the frequency of discussions of Shakespeare, And compare that to References to BACh and His works, the latter frequency would be far higher.
John Miller
He really has. And additional benefit is how much smaller is in the world of classical music to Higher literature, which has an infinite number of subjects, while classical music can Only suit subjects suitable for music.
Levi Kelly
Meant to quote
Jason Morales
OK, I admit that. Perhaps just Homer of music, then, With homework, being called the father of poetry, even though that is not literally true, But the same Moniker applies to homer as It Applies to BAC regarding music
Brandon Richardson
Imagine such contrarian and obvious bait And thinking anybody would fall for it.
Henry Roberts
It's not being contrarian. It's the truth. Bach's music is absolutely dreadful with a couple of exceptions (Air and Jesu). The rest of his catalog is hot garbage.
Landon Bell
OK, so I guess king Lear Basically Shakespeare’s only real drama, And even then, the Ending the departs not only historical fact, poetic justice, but human nature.
Really, it’s just that easy to be so Superficially dismissive and critical.
Easton Moore
everything prior to the art of fugue was simply a preparation for the apotheosis of music itself whereas everything afterwards is merely a postscript
Anthony Garcia
The Art of Fugue is a wholly irrelevant piece of music.
