Sibelius' 4th is one of my favorite pieces, but there honestly isn't too much else I like from the guy. His Violin Concerto is so banal and trite
Angel Ross
Sibelius is too Hollywood soundtrack-y.
Adrian Davis
what is your personal opinion of khacha's VC, and who is your favourite composers might I ask?
Adam Lopez
Mozart was to classical what Future is to rap. Boring talentless bullshit that gets credit for everything good ever done to the genre.
Grayson Barnes
I am a pleb but I was studying bolero and I first saw him conduct on a video. He uses a toothpick because he gets so carried away with himself in emotion that there is a serious hazard that he might lose a larger object (baton, wand) into the audience.
A toothpick could still poke someone's eye out though. Also,
>not using progressively larger batons as the piece progresses
Grayson Russell
love that damn boy
Evan Williams
Goddamit Gergiev sounds like a litteral retard when conducting and teaching >hnnnng mmmmhhngggg aah naaaa mgmmmmm
Just wanted to point out the fucking plebs so far in this thread. Feel free to add to the shitposts since it's clear we're already off to a tremendously bad start.
Jose Flores
Fine I'll be realistic, Arvo Part's Cello Concerto, 2nd Movement was one of the best dramatic pieces in that era.
Connor Butler
Fuckin hell, I meant Edward Elgar. . . .
Levi Reyes
>if I don't like it then is for plebs
Jace Jones
Its clear you've never looked at a Mozart score. He's more like NWA if you must make a rap analogy
David Ortiz
His shit was just too elegant sounding, sure he had some good stuff here and there, but in the end a lot of his stuff sounded as though it lacked direction.
Parker Russell
arvo part is literally Orff-tier, dude
Brandon Lopez
>stuff >stuff >but in the end a lot of his stuff sounded as though it lacked direction. like your post?
Jace Torres
because this madman walked the earth at that very time
based. Rimsky didn't write the best Russian music, but he places as one of the highest on the quality vs. quantity scale, probably after Tchaikovsky in my opinion.
Tyler Roberts
First for Webern.
Jayden Fisher
is a hack
Jace Myers
why is this gorgeous symphony not universally known?
>mfw I'm French >Russian composer titles a spanish piece in French How low have we fallen. Still, great piece of music, thanks spen.
Eli Thomas
Same with Scriabin, but i think it's better, at least in that case
Juan Scott
>Tamara Great choice.
Also thanks for the suggestions, I'll listen to it at work. Being a PhD student is great, I can listen to music all I want. Man, it's sad to know there are no russian romantic composers any more.
>because Balakirev lost the war over academism in late romantic russian music against Taneyev and RK I don't know what this means. Where can I read more?
Myakovsky has some of the most beautiful symphonic slow movements of any composer. His piano sonatas are pretty great too. youtube.com/watch?v=AohwDCmogck
Greentexting the name of a composer means his work his neither important or interesting.
Parker Turner
>12-tone music >impressive rofl
Isaac Cruz
but that just sounds like most other twelve tone music. What makes Dallapiccola so masterful is his ability to channel conventional beauty through serialism
Bach WHO? Mozart WHO? I'm on that Petzold shit nigga!!!!!!
Carson Moore
Cause it sucks.

Very pretty.

>Webern not traditionally appealing It was 100 years ago, 12 tone is traditional af now
And yes you need to not be a dumb normie to appreciate Webern
Thomas Gonzalez
what exactly differentiates Webern from Schoenberg?
Jack Young
Not him but imo Webern was interested in creating a new language and grammar whereas Schoenberg often couldn't rid himself of the old ones even though he wanted to. Arnold was also a lot more restless, negative and destructive whereas Webern explored placidity, impressionism, and atmosphere to a greater extent.
Ryan Smith
much more minimal, much less late romantic sensibility and much more 20th century precision. Some of the first truly abstract music.
that channel often gives really slow interpretations but that was pretty damn brisk I liked it.
Joseph Gonzalez
Webern, drawing from late Mahler, places far greater importance on the interaction of timbres. Webern holds himself far more stringently to the 12-tone rules, yet his background in Renaissance music influences his laconic counterpoint and choice of form: passacaglia, cantata and canon.
Webern is, in essence, a pointillist to Schoenberg's broad-stroked expressionism.
Christopher Rodriguez
childhood is idolizing contrapunctus xiv adulthood is realizing that contrapunctus xi is more profound
What are considered the best recordings of Gesualdo?
Jayden Myers
what do you think of saariaho's l'amour de loin?
Carson Fisher
Is it worth to go see Yuja Wang or is she just a giant meme? I don't have anything else to do.
Angel Price
redpill me on John Cage
Lincoln Powell
>Is it worth to go see Yuja Wan No. >is she just a giant meme? Yes.
Carter Harris
There's nothing to be redpilled about
Matthew Rogers
mmmmm... no...
Hunter Lopez
Some of his stuff was cool. Some of it wasn't. I really like this piece of his though. Super melancholy. Only a few years after WW 2... youtu.be/hyNGCHImlEk
Adam Scott
How old were you when you realized Mozart is underrated?
How old were you when you realized there was literally zero (0) point to listening to any other composer?
