I don't know anything about composers and I'm not a fan of single-instrument pieces. What are some good orchestral pieces to get me started on classical music? The wiki is kind of shit.
Kevin Reed
Read Rosen and listen to Haydn. The Classical Style - b.1339.cf/fzvmlgw.djvu Chapter III.2 and VI.1 deals quite extensively with symphonies. Rosen's writing should provide context and explanation that will help you build understanding and appreciation for the music that may otherwise just sound like pretty noises to you at first.

Listen to Robert Greenberg's Teaching Company lectures. He has like 30 different courses on topics ranging from the lives and works of individual composers to the entire history of Western music up to the early 20th century. I'd recommend starting with the courses "Understanding the Fundamentals of Music" and "How to Listen to and Understand Great Music". He's a great lecturer, and though I do recommend reading books like suggests, having the aural component of the lectures will help you understand a ton of things you probably wouldn't otherwise.

Levi Richardson

Jackson Martinez
Does anyone have pic related or the full quartet cycle by the Borodin quartet. I've checked the archive and all the mega links and could find neither.
now the Castilian Quartet take on Bartok's 6th String Quartet
Luke Powell
Does any other St. Matthew Passion even compare to this monumental achievement?
Dylan Smith
Ok I guess this is one of my favorite orchestral pieces ever now.
Connor Collins
nice meme
Robert Hall
Hello, I come seeking your advice. My knowledge of classical music kind of stops around the "classical" era, I know of some composers and music before and after but not much. Now of course I am open to suggestions before that time but mainly I guess I am interested in learning more about the last 300 years or so, since that's where I have this void of knowledge if you will. Please recommend me any and all composers/pieces that you see fit, thank you.
Owen Williams
kek, trash recording
Cooper Hughes

thanks!
Nolan Hill
I listen only to midi's because sometimes I correct composers' mistakes
Jayden Perez
>Correcting a perfect composition >Thinking that you have to change anything >Thinking you have the skills and musical and historical knowledge to make the best change >Hating on artistic integrity >Unironically listening to MIDI's of classical pieces Don't you have a Grimes or Death Grips concert to go to?
Liam Russell
Bellini, Verdi, Wagner, Strauss, Weill, Copland, Khachaturian, Prokofiev, Sorabji, Sullivan, Bartok, Elgar, Bernstein, Gounod, Liszt, and Britten are all good more recent composers to check out.
Jason Anderson
>are all good
why are you lying though
Josiah Martin
Then recommend something to him, asshole.
Kevin Bailey
>Herreweghe

FUCK OFF

It's wrong to tell people to kill themselves.

Please don't do this.
Anthony Ward
Kill yourself.
Jacob Collins
I am somewhat familiar with Bach, any pieces in particular or are you just memeing me? If that's the case then bravo. There is a Bach piece that has 2 harpsichord but I can't remember what it is called.
Do you recommend anything by those people?
I know of Wagner's ride of valkyries but that is all
Strauss I have heard of I know but I know nothing of his work
Copland I only know because of "Hoedown!" I enjoy that song
Liszt I only know of from his Hungarian Rhapsody no 2 and Liebestraum
The rest I am entirely unfamiliar with. Could you recommend some pieces from anyone you listed please?
Mason Hill
>There is a Bach piece that has 2 harpsichord could be the art of fugue recording in pic related. lots of duo harpsichord action
None of these recordings are essential. What a shitty chart...
Ethan Sanchez
The pieces are essential at least, but it leaves out the Goldberg Variations, one of Bach's best works
Ryan Robinson
The livestream from the Banff International String Quartet Competition has now resumed: youtube.com/watch?v=Blim5sprGto Now the Quartet Arpa from Japan will perform Haydn's string quartet, Op. 33, No. 2: After a short break, they will then perform Béla Bartók's String Quartet No. 5 (which I can't wait to hear).
>listening to anything other than a solo keyboard recording of the AoF >posting that awful apply chart
Isaiah Foster
>listening to baroque music on piano
Explain yourselves.
Kayden Murphy
I only listen to WTC on piano
And some of Scarlatti's sonatas on Guitar
Jeremiah Russell
It sounds better.
Brayden Cox
worse*
Cooper White
Get on my level.
Michael Jenkins
(not true, by the way.)
Isaiah Cook
but user, that recording is mostly solo or duo keyboard.
Jackson Morales

Caleb Hill
For operas - Norma, Lohengrin, Die Nibelungenlied, Salome, HMS Pinafore, Mikado, Rigoletto, Carmen, Tosca, Candide
Symphonies - anything by Mahler, Weill, Tchaikovsky, also Chichester Psalms
Ballet - Firebird - Stravinsky, Rodeo - Copland
I hope I could help.
Zachary King
>mostly
fuck off
Dominic King
no need to be so angry about instrumentation user.
Even Rosen said the art of fugue requires an inventive interpretation to perform in one sitting. Mixing up the instrumentation makes the musica antiqua Koln version something special.
Alexander Morgan
Rosen also said you have no idea what you're talking about.
who cares? I'd never pay to see a bunch of chinks in concert. the Wiener phil has the right idea.
Nicholas Ross
Has anyone who's been keeping up with the banff competition tell me who the best were so far? I've missed a lot. also are the videos of the performance on youtube?
Jose Morgan
Please don't post racism in /classical/.
Caleb Sullivan
Listening to Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta
Hudson Lewis
lol niggers
Xavier Bell
the past livestreams are still available on Youtube: youtube.com/user/TheBanffCentre/videos the performances that struck me the most were Verona Quartet's performance of Bartok's 5th last night. I had the impression that anyone that can embody such a demanding quartet that well I'd love to see live but I also sense that the competition is heating up: this morning's performances by the Rolston Quartet (particularly the Janacek quartet), and the whole Castalian Quartet perfomance was amazing.
Aaron Rogers
Kek.
Kayden Nelson
kill yourself
Leo Price
I hope you realize that you're making /classical/ more and more toxic with this behavior.
Dylan Collins
Rosen also called it inauthentic.
Elijah Gray
The only toxic behavior I've noticed is Mozart posting.
Hunter Collins
I think you mean Bach posting
Carson Clark
I think you mean 'thoven posting.
Joshua Nelson
Bach posting is almost always constructive. Mozart posting is basically just shitposting.
Kevin Barnes
>Bach posting is almost always constructive This is what Bachtists actually believe.
Jacob Foster
and?
Jaxon Perry
Might be why classical is nowhere near as popular as other genres on Sup Forums.....
Adrian Collins
yeah, I'm sure classical music only making up around 2% of total music sales has nothing to do with that
Jonathan Ramirez
post zizek memes itt I got a new phone and all my go-to rare zizeks are lost
Noah Gomez
Well I'll bet classical posts are well under 2% of the posts on Sup Forums.
Eli Turner
I think you mean b*gposting
Oliver Garcia
Best recording of Mozart's requiem?
Justin Myers
Why would you want to listen to Mozart?
Caleb Price
Neville Marriner, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields
Jordan Perez
Listen to his piano concertos instead.
Lucas Walker
Requiem is the greatest piece of music in human history.
Nathaniel Foster
Yeah.... Faure's
Blake Carter
LOL
Isaiah Robinson
It isn't even Mozart's greatest piece. Or even his piece for the most part.
Jack Jones
Omer Quartet is currently performing Haydn's Op. 76, No. 5: cbcmusic.ca/posts/12544/live-webcast-2016-bisqc after a short break they'll perform Leoš Janáček's String Quartet No. 1, “Kreutzer Sonata” (which after hearing his 2nd String Quartet for the first time earlier today and being amazed by it, I'm really excited to see how it will compare)
Parker Brooks
Will listen for the Haydn
Jacob Wood
Saving this rare Bela
Proko - Piano Concerti, Symphonies, String Quartets, Violin Concerti Strauss - Elektra Bartok - Music for Strings, Celesta and Percussion, Concerto for Orchestra, Piano Concerto, Solo piano, String Quartets
Noah Parker
about to listen to some more bartok
Isaiah Howard
Is classical music superior to contemporan music or is it just a meme?
Christian James
It depends on what kind of contemporary music your'e talking about obviously, but in general, yes. There's a reason why they're remembered, and it's because they're among the greatest musical artists who've ever lived.
Leo Adams
>not recommending the bartok violin sonatas
Ian Rodriguez
why do people get so ass pained about what other people listen to?
Aaron Price
Because you're a faggot for listening to whatever it is you listen to.
Gavin Long
insecurity
Jordan Roberts
>also, best version of WTC to download? no gould pls Edwin Fischer and Samuil Feinberg.
You must really hate realistic acoustics if you like this meme recording.
