We need a final solution to the problem of Mozart's fanatics. I say we round them up and ship them off to a small island where sex isn't allowed, and all they can eat is unseasoned meat and stale bread.
Austin Bailey
A spicy overture to this thread.
Daniel Green
>final solution
Wagner should come in handy.
Camden Wood
>being this mad that people are listening to music better than yours
you could just stop listening to bach and try literally any other composer. you're worse than metalheads who only listen to the genre because it gives them the option to wear makeup and spiky collars.
Angel Nguyen
For every Mozart fanatic we need a Salieri fanatic to poison him
Blake Torres
>being this mad that people are listening to music better than yours
yes, that's exactly the problem with Mozart's fan
Mason King
We should throw all Chopinfags on an island where it reeks of Chopin's unwashed French cock and only feed them copies of Bach's manuscripts and water.
Hunter Brown
Is /classical/ alive again? I've been out for a while since I've not had the time to shitpost, but last thread reached bump limit. An anomaly or de riguer?
Anyone been listening to the proms? There's a couple of good ones coming up at the end of the week.
John Perry

calm down

Hello guys, I don't lurk Sup Forums too much so I don't know if you like Stravinsky here, but I discovered his Violin Concerto in D recently and I absolutely fell in love with it. What's Sup Forums opinion on Stravinsky?
Grayson Nguyen
Faggot.
Tyler Sullivan
first time in /classical/
why do you guys hate mozart and chopin?
Mason Carter
they make bad music
Jaxson Allen
What, this is a classic Sup Forums meme thread ? Fuck.
Can someone recommend more B*ch for people who don't like B*ch?
Grayson Wood
He's fairy well liked. As much as a figure as divisive as he is can be anyway.
Gabriel Williams
Is Mozart just pompous wig music?
It feels like on a purely aesthetic level classist and anti-revolutionary.
Jonathan Gutierrez
>can't be worse than bach
Joshua Smith
>people who don't like B*ch
people who don't like Bach are hardly people at all
Andrew Morris
hey guys

Mozart

Is Chopin really that bad? What's the superior alternative?
Robert Gutierrez

Jason Hernandez
Could any of ye Mozart haters elaborate a bit more on why you don't like his music? I'm newish to classical music and I'd be interested to hear someone explain why they think something like the 21st piano concerto or the Jupiter symphony aren't good pieces.
Dylan Moore
bach?
Austin Martin
petzold!
Jose Martinez
they don't need reasons, this is still Sup Forums, one of the biggest piles of shit on this site
Ryan White
I can only hear this "genius" resolve a trill cadence into a tonic so many times before I start rolling my eyes.
Jeremiah Hernandez
hey

Your mother was rolling her eyes after I trilled her candence with my tonic.

What does /classical/ think of music that's not classical? Is it "real" music?
I heard one of my friend's piano instructors saying something like, "Without formal classical music training one can never truly understand real music" -- "real" music here being classical, of course (and even then necessitating schooling).
John Adams
it's shit jazz is okay though
Jayden Sullivan
banging a drum and yelling hitler is still music, it's just really bland.
Kayden Green
Most people here are aware that music appreciation is subjective and even the most wonderfully nuanced/complex/boundary pushing music isn't inherently "better" than some punk rocker chugging power chords on a poorly tuned guitar. Sup Forums is also full of trolls though and it's easy to find insecure people who'll get worked up if you tell them that western classical is superior to all other musical traditions so you tend to see a lot of that sort of thing but it's mostly in jest.
Landon Robinson
Henryk Górecki's third symphony fucking sucks.
Ayden Clark
yeah, I got tricked into listening to it too
never trust a classical recording that sells like a pop records
Benjamin Lopez
This was discussed yesterday. Most people seem to agree that Chopin is mostly good for practice and showing skill with the piano. They disregard him as a musician because he isn't good to listen to, only good for practice based on the difficulty of his pieces.
Bullshit if you ask me. Chopin sounds great, listen to what you like.
Aiden Gutierrez
his violin concerto is pretty good, but he didn't really write anything else in that style
Jace Carter
>taking the symphony of sorrowful memes meme symphony seriously
Jack Walker
Watching the DNC and waiting for the inevitable meltdown. Classical music for this feel?
Bentley Gutierrez
why is Domenico Scarlatti so perfect
Lucas Turner
More like William Lawes lyra viol suites? Been listening to it a lot and I'm just liking it more and more. Organ music would also be appreciated.
What do you guys think of Schubert?Never see him discussed much around here.
Strange since I'd have expected /classical/ to latch onto his later works as some kind of pleb filter which is still accessible enough for the average listener here to get enthusiastic enough about to actively promote, in contrast to say late Beethoven.
Leo Bailey
>hello I am really new and have never come to /classical/ before this week
Luis Watson
I was here in the time of clt sub tripcode (himself a pretty zealous schubert exponent admittedly), left and returned a few minths ago. Haven't geard much chatter since.
Jace Nelson
I'm looking for "classical" that was made in the Medieval period for an upcoming Dungeons and Dragons game. Anybody know some good composers?
Joseph Reed
Rec works by Stockhausen, Xenakis and Ferneyhough that don't sound like shit.

Anonymous is a good one. He's quite prolific too.

Colton Butler
why is Liszt fat
Noah Harris

Jack Foster
most composers that were remembered were usually church people or lords. Most of them wrote choral works really. The church people wrote mostly choral works.
Most recognized composer that were not doing exclusively choral works at the time was probably Fransesco Landini: youtube.com/watch?v=nHXtzNxzOYs
If you want church music from that time, just google gregorian chants really.
yeah someone was saying shit like 'chopin is only used as accessory music for classical plebs' or something along those lines. That the fact that his pieces are right-hand heavy (not even true), piano-centric, and virtuosic strips them of emotion.
Personally I think this is true of Lizst but that's another convo. I find and have felt more inherent emotion in Chopin's works than dozens of other composers combined.
But of course these conversations are fucking stupid anyway because that's just my taste
>knows his taste is shit and retarded >makes a post anyway
Jacob Thomas
bach is hte BEST
John Williams
Sup Forums living up to it's reputation of being a boring hivemind
Nathan Peterson
kek, assblasted pleb
Christopher Hernandez
yeah man, why don't you exclusively listen to fugues?
there's not point ini changing tempo in the song, and no point in trying to stirr emotion in the listener. it's much better to make a mediocre melody and just play it over the same mediocre melody. at the same constant tempo for about 10-15 minutes.
then instead of listening to the music, the listener can go "hey that's the subject again! epic" or "wooow 3 subjects at the same time, this is music, simply epic!!" without worrying about understanding the music.
Ryder Howard
>fugues can't be emotional >being literally too stupid to understand the inherent meaning in fugues and be moved by it >Chopincucks being this retarded Just another day.
Justin Robinson
Thanks for this. Landini is perfect.
Wyatt Davis
Fugues were literally just a composer exercise that just got out of hand. I doubt there are many people who are truly passionate about music, who values fugues as more than just a cute, tickling experience for the ears.
Camden Foster
>this stupid >what are fugal movements in sonatas and concertos >conflating musical form with musical meaning >Chopincucks being this retarded Just another day.
Brody Rodriguez

Tell me, what IQ should I work towards so I can finally be properly moved?
Jaxon Long
Just above average, but that might be too difficult for you Chopincucks.
Bentley Jones
topkek
Jason Morris
i really doubt it takes more than just a few points above iq 50 in order to recognize simple patterns such as the ones seen in fugues. it's no coincidence that bach is so liked here.
