>Mozart enlarged the forms of his time by combining genres. The finale of his Piano Sonata in B-flat, K. 333, is a large concerto movement, with imitations of the contrast of orchestra and soloist, and a huge cadenza like an improvisation. He introduced operatic effects in his chamber music, and symphonic and concerto passages into his opera arias. His concertos have moments of intimate and complex chamber music. The finale of the Jupiter symphony has an unprecedented display of learned counterpoint, simultaneously combining six themes. He magnified almost every genre in which he worked. Have you listened to Mozart today?

>He introduced operatic effects in his chamber music Examples?
The final to his 17th quartet iirc has an opera buffa like feel. I'm by no means an expert when it comes to his chamber music though.

Mathias Auguste//The Julliard Ensemble (led by David Moody) -- Choral Works (2004) (FLAC)
I have a real treat for you all, today.
>choral ensemble >very obscure medieval composer whose works were destroyed and banned after purported homosexuality >one of the first to experiment with hallucinogenic drugs during composition process >gfs mother is a professional clarinet player who is a graduate of julliard who gave this to me, his compositions were unearthed in the julliard library and recorded, it was an inside joke within the julliard community due to being so obscure. very few recordings of his work exist as far as I can tell, this might actually be the only one >ethereal, uplifting, actually quite beautiful
Well I guess I am autistic enough to tag all of this.Will upload when I'm finished.

>manually tagging itunes has an auto-tag function which works for pretty much every CD ever made. you should use it if you value your sanity. or feel free to make fun of itunes while you're manually typing out each german name of each tiny arietta
Noah Richardson
I usually use foobar and the musicbrainz extension to tag things. This wasn't on musicbrainz so I had to manually tag it. I doubt itunes' tagging is satisfactory to my autismal demands either but what do I know?
Justin Murphy
Hello I recently saw a live of Arvo Part named "Adam's Passion" and can't find the recording anywhere. Anyone want to help?
Luis Turner
its pretty tight mate, and quick. At least give it a shot and see what its like. could save you a LOT of time. entire CDs tracks tagged in 10 seconds.
Noah Watson
I'm new to classical. I feel kind of like a pleb. I'd like some things that are similar to the following yet not necessarily as entry level, or one tiny step beyond entry level:
>All Beethoven's piano sonatas >Chopin Sonatas & Nocturnes >Franz Liszt Piano Sonata >Brahms 4th, cello sonata's and clarinet sonatas >Tchaikovsky's 6th >Dvorak 7 and 9.
I know it's entry level so what do I do to progress?
Maybe later. Right now the monotonous deed is done and I'm at 31%. I went a little farther too and tried to find some scans, I found a .zip with a few Pearl booklets, they're kinda shit but better than nothing I guess.
Jeremiah Myers
what era do you like most
Brody Fisher
I'm sure at some point SDF or one of them are gonna just pop up and have decent scans or something anyways, but Zion knows where they are. Listen to Mozart
Lucas Parker
Well looking at that list it seems like Romantic right? Okay. Mozart. Guess I'll continue the sonata trend and listen to his piano sonatas.
Chase Thompson
The sonatas are good but I'd recommend the piano concertos and chamber music first. The operas too if you think you have the patience.

That record has some of the best Wagner singing ever recorded with some fantastic Wagner conductors. It's mastered pretty well too all things considered. Here it is anyways >Pearl has assembled, for the first time under one roof, all 122 sides that comprise the celebrated HMV albums of extended Ring Cycle excerpts issued in the late twenties and early thirties. Many vocal aficionados consider this era to be the apex of Wagner singing in this century, with Schorr's virile yet compassionate Wotan, Leider's agile and authoritative Brünnhilde, and the unique Melchior, whose peerless Siegfried is heard here nearly complete. Moreover, these artists often appeared together in Europe and at Covent Garden, and had ample opportunity to hone their collective insights into these elusive roles. >bogmemers and old-recording deniers pls go mega.nz/#!axQH0T7I!a7dFeh6yk_xHJwJtNI8ZQDz6VrtvlAAfQqb2NKDP06k

What's Josquin's most underrated motet and why is it In Princio Erat Verbum?
Adrian Stewart
Sounds interesting. I'll listen to it later.
I already had it fully tagged myself, but thanks.
Though the conducting is extremely good on those sets, one of the larger appeals is the singing. You can find some great Wagner conductors today, but the singing is usually shite. I just got done listening to most recent Bayreuth performances (with Janowski leading) and while the conducting was superb the singing was pretty terrible for many of the roles. Still one more opera to go but I can't imagine Götterdämmerung will be any better considering the even more massive demands from the singers in that title.
You'll also find that most modern Wagnerians worship these old recordings. Haenchen, my favorite modern Wagner conductor, studied for his interpretations (which was mentioned numerous times in the booklet of his Ring set) and his Ring set is great from a conducting standpoint (too bad about the singing).
also >he doesn't know how to remove crackles and pops
Zachary Robinson
I completely forgot you existed Wagneranon. How's it going?
Christian Robinson
It's going. I've been busy with commissions and school.
I still post here occasionally, but it's probably easy to lose me if I'm not writing paragraphs of bullshit on Wagner.
Brayden Gomez

I miss that autist who screencapped /classical/ shitposts and made huge collages with them. Who do you think his favorite composer was?
Nathaniel Edwards
Frank Zappa or Kanye West.
Wyatt Rodriguez
>Zappa is he good? I don't think he's classical but I keep seeing his name pop up on art music discussion. Every Varese video on YouTube has the comment section infested with Zappa memers.
Wyatt Hall
Does anyone under 50 honestly like Zappa? He makes boring unfunny music for baby boomers.
Lucas Martin
>be the original bogposter >stay away from /classical/ for a few days >check archived threads >mfw people are heartily bogposting without me
It has reached literal meme status - a self-replicating idea. You're welcome.
next time try to introduce something entertaining and founded in fact.
Consequently the last 4 or 5 classical threads have been some of the worst, with a very low quota of actual content.
Christopher Perry
>some of the worst, with a very low quota of actual content.
Kinda like you know whose music.
Jaxson Taylor
Reminder that CLT posted this back in 2007 >The problem with their era is that the only way they could earn a living is by giving those in power--lords, kings, cardinals, bishops--what they wanted. They were really restricted by the times. No free markets, like Frank was able to work in. He found a way to maximize profit through using a variety of genres, especially pop that paid the bills. That enabled him to create his master pieces or more experimental, masterful music--that's my favorite Zappa when he goes nuts like with King Kong. LOVE Uncle Meat. If Motzy and Beethoven had a little more freedom and modern technology, who knows what they could have created. But to me Mozart was able to shake it up and create some amazing music even within all those restrictions. Rule on Zappsters

I don't have to listen to that music though.
Whenever I come in here you're just constantly shitposting and blogging about whatever minor quibble you have with a German composer. And it's always the same stuff. It's done in a splendidly spastic fashion as well.
You didn't answer either of my questions or address my concern, by the way.

Bog memes aside, Mahler had to know somewhere in the back of his head that his music was one protracted hurling of the proverbial sink.

I mean *G*rman composer* emulating *G*rman composer* has been going on since the dawn of time but this is so obvious it almost makes one question if Mahler wasn't self-aware and intentionally trolling us?
Maybe he was the Anal Cunt of Classical music?
Liam Reed
hi /classical/ I made a shitty recording of myself whistling a well known classical or baroque piece I remember liking, could you please identify it for me I suck at whistling tho vocaroo.com/i/s0O4C37IS4w3
Isaiah Sullivan
its because he was a professional conductor and composing had to come second. when your head is filled with all that music, composing original music can be a battle. Still, while his influence may seem obvious in some of his early to middle works, his latter works show more individuality.
Daniel Jackson
Lmao never post that ever again
Aaron Flores
your whistling is past being recognizable can you possibly work out the notes on a piano or program of a piano?
