A while back I asked if many of y'all would be interested in creating monthly listening charts. There were a lot of ideas thrown around for May, but it was probably too far into the month to create a legitimate chart.
So I'm rescheduling for June. The theme is sonatas for instruments other than piano.
Here are some pieces I would definitely like to schedule:
>Beethoven Kreutzer >Bartok Violin Sonata 1 >Prokofiev Violin Sonata 1 >Brahms Clarinet Sonata (1?/2?) >Bach E major Violin/Keyboard Sonata >Bach C major solo Violin sonata >Saint-Saens Oboe Sonata
Does anyone else have any potential additions? I'm not extremely well-versed in this genre: one of the reasons I'd like to feature a month of it.
youtube.com/watch?v=GAgjy8K_Qvs I hate this guy so much. I hate this guy so fucking much. I will never give in or admit anything to this faggot. I found that you guys here might like this pleb instructor probably.

Wyatt Edwards
Faure's birthday today, what are you listening to? Thread topic is quite relevant since he wrote a lot of chamber duos
Too lazy to come up with a proper list at the moment, but here are a few
Beethoven 7th violin sonata is good Maybe one of the cello ones too Alkan's cello sonata Bartok's violin sonata (either the one with or without piano accompaniment)
Do you mean no piano, or no keyboard? Cause there are loads of organ and harpsichord sonate out there
Jonathan Allen
>the theme is sonatas for instruments other than piano >Bach E major Violin/Keyboard Sonata
Lincoln Morgan
Is Carmen the best example of an opera that is almost universally loved by audiences and critics alike?
Connor Cruz
How about Debussy sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp? Maybe his Cello/Violin sonata too? Also Schubert's Arpeggione sonata.
She could sonata my junata any time, if you catch my drift
Nathaniel Young
Yes. It is one of the catchy and rhythmically easy ones.
Parker Ramirez
Yep even Brahms, Wagner and Nietzche loved it
Isaiah Taylor
Almost of the others have keyboard accompaniment. The point of the "other than piano" is to exclude solo piano sonatas: you can easily make a whole month on those alone.
Brahms is one of the big guys I'm not as familiar with as I should be. I think it's a good addition (I'm going to choose the 2nd clarinet sonata as well). I'm going to try to keep it under 3 for each composer, except for maybe Bach who might get the D minor partita as well
Jeremiah Jackson
Carmen is easily the best opera of all time. I can't believe nothing has come close considering how popular it's been for 100+ years.
What're some good recordings of Xenakis orchestral works?
Julian Howard
Does /classical/ got charts? Pastebin link? I'm a newfag and wanna know where to start. I like piano and clarinet on my music. Beethoven's sonatas are good, so are Bartók's piano concertos. Thanks in advance, familia.
Jason Powell
There are a load of mega links, not a lot of the charts are great. see
Parker Smith
Do you come up with melodies first and then harmonize them or come up with harmonies and then put a melody on top?
Elijah King
What do you mean by this?
Joseph Jenkins
Martinů sonatina for clarinet
Usually melodies, as they're the ones that are constantly stuck in my head. Either works though
Hudson Turner
How much do you come up with at a time? Like do you write a whole movement at once or gradually write it in 4 bar intervals?
Luis Jackson
is that Beans from Even Stevens
Tyler Roberts
which instrument do you use
Matthew Martin
Gradually, day by day, part by part. Max is about 1 minute of music per day, and even that will get re-edited or reworked if it isn't good enough
Adam Bell
Quick reminder before I go to bed.
Julian Hernandez
NUR
Jacob Ortiz
Anything with Arturo Tamayo conducting. The 5-disc Tamayo/Xenakis set is essential.
Liam Diaz
Use for what? I come up with stuff mostly on the computer
Thomas Wilson
Here's a running list. Still lots of room for nominations. The order isn't final, and if we overflow, we can vote to exclude certain pieces. I'm considering dropping out the Bach Partita for variety. Plus everyone and their mother has heard it, and it's technically not a sonata.
Noah Rivera
This list also appears to be underrating Mozart. What are good Mozart sonatas that I could add to it?
Ryder Wright
K. 526
Bentley Campbell
k.304
Nicholas Powell
Add
Poulenc: oboe sonata, flute sonata Saint-Saëns: Clarinet sonata Fauré: Violin sonata Raff: duo for cello and piano Grieg: Cello sonata
Alexander Wood
I'm going to be out of home for a while, but here's the nominations list. There's definitely good variety here. I'm considering doubling up some days on the final list in order to maintain a daily time of around 30-60 minutes of music. The two Biber sonatas and the two Poulenc sonatas, for example, could each constitute a day. But that's to be worked out later. As is, I'm fairly satisfied.
Nolan James
luigi boccherini cello sonatas are essential. we could to say that the cello as we know nowadays was invented by him...
Jackson Carter
But don't hesitate to nominate more. Again, if there's enough interest and nominations I might manipulate the schedule to allow for more inclusions.
Michael Garcia
Which cello sonatas of the set in particular would be worth a listen?
>BachScholar I'm going to try not to be rude, but we don't post that complete and utter putrid garbage on /classical/. Please, for the love of God find another pianist.
I knew you guys would complain about him. But I couldn't find a better version on youtube. Iara behs's interpretation is way better (it's on spotify). Anyway, I just posted the video to showcase the idea.
Eli Wright
Anyone have Bohumil Gregor's recording of the Cunning Little Vixen?
James Price

good list btw
Mason Barnes

Lucas Jackson
Are parallel fifths ever okay?
Ayden Wilson
It depends solely on the context. Choral music usually doesn't have parallel fifths because "muh singers can't do it" but they are quite common in piano music and sometimes even orchestral music.
Write what feels natural? They can work for an Asiatic sound or an Eastern sound or anything in between it just matters what timbres you're looking for. Some people are too purist on Bach's rules, not everything is a fugue.
Easton Thompson
BUT BACH IS GOD AND THEY SAY IT REVEALS ME AS AN AMATEUR AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Easton Ward
Do anybody know where I can find a disc or album with the works of Giuseppe Tartini?
Hudson Fisher
if i want to write something in A harmonic minor mixolydian the key would have 2 flats?
Liam Gonzalez
>A harmonic minor mixolydian What are you talking about those are 2 different scales. If you're talking about Mode 5 of A Harmonic Minor (Phrygian #3) the you would just write it with no sharps or flats in the key and mark the accidentals where appropriate (G# because it's the third note).
Aiden Peterson
ah right thanks friend
Jaxon Kelly
yes and so are parallel octaves
Even fugues should be natural. Only the very first exposition needs to be carefully handled, even then guys like Reicha and shostakovich completely ignored or reinvented the old rules about what a fugue should/must be
Henry Roberts
Even the arch-contrapuntalist Bach uses them sometimes (perhaps accidentally). I think I spotted one the last time I sang through the B Minor Mass. Of course it might have been a printing error, but I do remember checking another score afterwards and noticing the same thing.
Smetana, Dvorak and Janacek may also be up your alley
Hunter Davis

>I listen to classical music non ironically
James Brown
Why wouldn't you? it music written by highly educated geniuses, and some of the most diverse, expressive and dynamic music around, spanning over 500+ years.
would you suggest we listen to repetitive music by untrained plebs who think they're "experimenting" when really they dont even know the basics?
Popular music is a joke (that's all bands, producers, singer-songwriters, etc.) The only things worth listening to are classical music, and traditional music. because studying a culture and the music associated with that culture is extremely interesting and there are many many unusual styles and often quite forward-thinking polyrhythms or asymmetries and dissonances.
Popular music is just drivel. Made by for and about plebs.
Ayden Baker
How the fuck could you listen to something so great ironically? Consider that you may have taken your ironic edginess too far..
Christopher Torres
How do pitchspergers rationalize the fact that almost no composers used equal temperament?
Parker Young
Second hand store was pretty good to me last time I visited it.
Benjamin Cook
Say what you will about her Ockeghem recordings, but this is absolutely revelatory.
Samuel Hill
I second this
Nathaniel Long

Isaac Morris
Is there much good classical (any period, though mainly before 20th century) repertoire for brass?
Woodwind, string and piano (and voice) seems to be the trifecta of classical, especially solo stuff.
Hi guys what's your favorite symphony by Sibelius?
I like the first one the most. I don't quite understand why second is so much more popular, although it is beautiful too, of course.
Lincoln Ward
The 4th probably. Followed by the 7th.
Jacob Morales

Just listened to all of them back to back.

Second hand store for second hand music.
Brody Russell
Well you see, I've been hunting for a good recording of the Gaudeamus mass for years, and none of them prove entirely satisfying. Ensemble Corvina's recording is the earlierst, and the sound quality aside, the choir isn't exactly the greatest, and they have to be supported by the organ. A Sei Voci uses boy trebles with female sopranos, and the top line in turn feels a little sloppy. Their tempos are also on the fast side, which made Josquin's delicate lines feel very rushed. Musica Symbolica slows it down somewhat, but their recordings still feels somewhat airy and insubstantial, and for some reason they never felt entirely on pitch or on rhytm. Ensemble Metamorphoses is the latest one, and the most satisfying one so far, but now Capella Pratensis blows it out of the water in terms of how they shape the lines, the fullness of the voices, and the confidence of the singers.
Lucas Murphy
hey friends, if I like the Gusty Garden Galaxy OST from Super Mario Galaxy, what else will I like
