Is this general dying? I remember it being more active.

Gould's and Richter's recordings are the best. Definitely stay away from Schiff and Barenboim.

You don't have to listen to all of them in one sitting, just pick it up every once in awhile and stare at the scores and try to understand what's going on.

Grab Suzuki's cantatas, Harnoncourt's Matthew Passion, anything by Richter, Yudina, E. Fischer, and Nikolayeva, and Queyras for the cello suites.

Thanks!

depends.
if you only listen to the 9th sympho and 12th quartet then pleb. otherwise he's a good patrician-approved composer. His 13th and 14th quartets especially constitute some of the greatest Romantic chamber music

took a course on 20th century music last semester. shit was pretty cool

Rzewski is a fucking musical psychopath.

does anyone recommend a recording of Milhaud's "Creation of the World"

>Emerson shit quartet

Here's summa my favorites:
>Solo Violin Sonata No.3 C major
>Solo Violin Partita No.2 D minor
>Passacaglia "and fugue" in C minor
>Violin+Keyboard Sonata No.3 in E major
>Harpsichord Concerto No.1 in D minor
>Well-tempered clavier picks: C sharp minor book 1, b minor book 1, e major book 2, b flat minor book 2
>Cantatas No.21, No.146
>Mass in B minor
>Brandenburg Concerti Nos. 2, 3, 5
>Fantasy and Fugue in G minor "Great"
>"Chromatic" Fantasy and Fugue
>Orchestal Suite No.2 in B(?) minor
>Goldberg Variations
>Art of Fugue. Make sure you listen to a keyboard rendition, and not a shitty chamber ensemble or string quartet. It's a very dense work, though. If listening to the whole cycle is a bit daunting, try contrapunctus 1, 11, and 14.

jeez, you're been cucked hard dude...

The 2nd Keyboard concerto in E major is also really good. A lot of people like his cello suites too. I think they're excellent pieces, but they're not my favorites.
