also no torrent fuck you

>that picture

Holy shit, when was this made?

>tfw listening to Rihm's choral works all day

Really good stuff

Way to start off with a meme composer

The only composer who isn't a meme is Milhaud

Isn't Bernardo Bertolucci supposed to be making a film about Gesualdo?

Milhaud isn't a meme composer is a meme my friend ;)

I know, and I'm pretty sure I invented it.

...

sup, guys

i was hearing chopin's the nocturne and i simply loved that song

gotta love classical

can you rec more like that?

me in the middle

...

It's OC.

Is classical music fame dead?

Will someone ever become as celebrated as Bach and Beethoven?

How do you guys know which performers are the best? I don't want to spoil my first listening of a great composer with shitty performers.

by comparison

if you listen to the best ones first you won't realize what makes them good

There are plenty of living composers who are celebrated, but they aren't popularly known. Probably the only one who is is Philip Glass.

>Want to go to local concerts.
>No one I know is into classical music.
>Don't really want to go alone.

;_;

dylan won the lit nobel prize, kek

You will realize what makes the worse ones bad once you listen to them, though.

What's the deal wit John Cage? Am I actually supposed to listen to his music and appreciate him or do I just have to appreciate the fact that that music is out there?

nope, just a troll

And to think of all the genuinely great poets they could have given it to.

true, but maybe not in the beginning

it becomes easier and easier to identify good performances as you become more acquainted.

>Ivan Moravec left us without recording Schubert, Grieg, Faure, Scriabin, or more Schumann
>Debussy dead at 55 and left us wondering what he might've done in 20's and 30's
>Schubert dead at 31
>Stravinsky tortured us with his neoclassical and serialist crap for 30 years
>Gershwin dead at 37
>Cage shat out shit for almost 60 years
>Ives losing his ability to compose

What are /classical/ regrets fellow anons? What was most tragic in the history of art music

Mahler dying before he could leave us more compositions and/or a recording of him conducting

>Bach died due to a eye surgery infection

How extreme is that death? Jesus Christ, I can almost see him screaming with gory shit on his eyes for 3 days and then die without concluding his Contrapunctus XIV.

>tfw the first exposition of his Contrapunctus XIV is your favourite music
>tfw you will never get to fully listen to it because Bach had to die horribly

Mozart lived far too long.

I would've loved to hear how he conducted the Faun

His piano stuff is great desu

Berg and Webern dying way too early

>Mahler died in 1911 with just a handful of truly blissful compositions

Well, at least we don't have to debate on why did he support the Nazi party. Considering how much did he care about his public image we can say that he missed a bullet.

I don't remember the name of the compositions but I've heard a few piano pieces of his (included the ones for Prepared piano).
They were uninteresting at best. The pianos one were usually a few broken chords played for minutes, the ones for prepared piano were just a few riffs repeted again for minutes.

I understand the philosophical interest on his writings, but am I really supposed to listen to that and go ''mmh, that sounds good, it really speaks to me''?

Just listen to Cowell, His piano experiments are more harmonically interesting

Webern is also another composer/conductor we should have had more recordings from
According to Berg he was very much like Mahler in terms of conducting style and ability

Read that as Mahler died in 9/11 for a second.

>composed in a serialistic form with his 1913 Ballet Jeux
>His late sonatas returned to a French classicist form, predicting what Stravinsky and other Neoclassicists would do in the 20's and 30's
>late etudes suggest his harmonic language was going beyond the modernism and Jazz he would influence in years to come

What was his endgame? What was music gonna sound like after WW1

Why was he such a trend setter and Stravinsky such a trend follower?

...

>implying Liszt didn't anticipate nearly everything that Debussy ever wrote

What did Beethoven look like in his performance? Was he making odd faces when he was playing his sonatas? Did he look like a madman when conducting?

...

>implying I said otherwise
>implying he didn't continue and diverge Liszt's genius

I'm a Lisztbro fellow Lisztian

Years of Pilgrimage is still one of the greatest epochal Piano compositions of all time, alongside the Art of Fugue and Beethoven's Sonatas

kek

youtube.com/watch?v=WwQYnz6WZ2Y

It must've been insane to hear a piano sound like this in the 1880's

Without this we wouldn't have any of this

But the ideas are expanded upon without losing any sense of influence or Individuality

Late Liszt is best Liszt

>those digits

top kek,

Stravinsky was a disappointment after 1945

He was best when he was Russian, not a Frenchman or an American

hey who wants my dick in their body?

(while bach is playing to keep it music related)

((women only))

(((okay maybe really passable Ames to but I have a high bar)))

no

>women only

also can anyone hook me up with LSD?

to the sound of mozart

drugs are bad for you

being a huge fucking faggot is bad for you

>very much like Mahler in terms of conducting style and ability
>in terms of conducting ability
Mahler was the greatestconductor of all time you know

We'll never know for sure

How can you know it since there are no live recordings of his?

>LSD

Whatever makes Mozart tolerable

Alcohol, Cocaine, and Absinthe are the patrician drugs you degenerate

>Alcohol, Cocaine, and Absinthe are the patrician drugs you degenerate

Yeah, if you're a Frenchman in 1910 with no access to better drugs.

Buy either 1P-LSD or AL-LAD. They're both legal, the first one is basically LSD (nobody I've ever met ever found any difference), the second is a more bearable and shorter LSD (6 hours instead of 12, but the visuals are stronger).

LSD is the best drug to listen to music and this is a fact.

>no access to better drugs.

And yet the music was 20 times more interesting than anyone amounted to LSD

>And yet the music was 20 times more interesting than anyone amounted to LSD
What did he mean by this?

Cocaine is the true artist's drug.

Eh, cocaine and alcohol is heavily involved in most music that came out in the last 60 years. Do you really think that Debussy or Beethoven would have turned to shitty psychedelic rock after their first LSD experience, especially considering that LSD is perfect for classical music appreciation?

It allows you to be yourself 10x and doesn't turn into an introspective faggot like LSD

Cocaine will just make you psyched up on uninteresting things. It's a terrible drug for any kind of activity.

>implying that music doesn't require introspection

LSD is for navel-gazing pseuds. Cocaine is for people who want to get shit done.

Fuck off Gould.

Spoken like a true coke-head.

how does it feel classical cucks

Haha yeah, he's basically on the level of Barney the Dinosaur.

I don't really care about it, the modern concept of genre doesn't really apply to classical music.

>white patriarchy trying to devalue the music of Black composers

...

Bump.

>Claire de lune will always be taken out of context of the suite

Shame, the Suite along with the Forgotten Images are the best of the early Debussy pieces

>Philip Glass never composed that opera on the life of Adolf Hitler
>or the one on Charlie Chaplin
Honestly, those would probably be far more interesting than any of the other shit he made on Akhenaten and Gandhi.

>LSD
No. You should go the Berlioz route and do Opium.

How does /classical/ feel about

Holy fucking shit lads the Chorale in this is actually amazing. Why did I doubt bog?

>scriabin died young
>julian scriabin died too young to continue his fathers legacy
>you will never recover the burned Geirr Tveitt scores
>you will never hear Sibs 8
>you will never hear prokofievs 6th piano concerto
>holst died just when he started to experiment heavily with polytonality

Totally serious here...
Whats the point of listening to classical music when progressive rock, jazz, metal and avant garde do literally the same thing but better in every way? Voice can add a whole other instrument to the movements and jazz and avant garde are well, more technical and complex. Is classical music the ULTIMATE poseurcore?

...

>Voice can add a whole other instrument
>there's a Bach cantata literally in the previous post

>Holst
Who cares. Give us a finished Bruckner 9.

it sucks though

Bruckner 9 ends fine the way it is. Bruckner's finales were almost always the weakest link of his music anyway, (aside from the 5th where it's actually the best part).

True. Bruckner is a GOAT.

Holst could've wrote great music though but he chose to be a neoromantic cuck.

youtube.com/watch?v=C_DsQFfehGE

>Bruckner is a GOAT.
sounds like a goat too

Holst is more very late romantic than neoromantic I think

None of those use the same instruments, sound good or use the same techniques. They also all suck.

lol
let's find out what animal is your favorite composer
Stravinsky - Platypus
Rachmaninoff - giraffe
Beethoven - wolverine

>Purcell died at 36
>Pergolesi died at 26
>Lully died at 54
>Corelli died at 59
UMM?!?!

>year of our lord 2016
>still wasting time listening to other composers than Mozart
Explain yourselves right now, you philistines.

>tfw Ravel was a "painstaking" composer
>tfw you can easily listen to his entire ouevre in under a week

I don't know what to do. He's my favorite composer, but I feel like if I finally listen to literally everything he made it'll be like killing him. I don't think I can deal with knowing there's nothing left by Ravel for me to hear. Please help
