Speaking of Don Giovanni, what's the best video performance of this opera? I've got a libretto handy in both italian and english, and I know a few other romance languages so it's not difficult to understand.

Can someone explain to me why Japan has a bit of a boner with Bach's Little Fugue in G Minor?
I don't give 2 shits about anime music/j-rock, but that fugue is fucking great. It's probably one of, if not, the best things Bach did in my opinion. It's so ominous, glorious, and cool at the same time. Here's the best version of it youtube.com/watch?v=2ABFjQbazUQ

Is it just me or does Tchaikovsky look a bit like Bill Murray in that pic?

Excuse the poor playing and probably inaccurate notes, but the chords were something similar to that. I'm not too sure about the second part, but maybe there was something like that also.
I would listen to this old cassette I found and it was my favourite song, but I lost it and don't remember the name.
Thank you so much.

If you aren't sure of the notes, maybe Rach C# minor prelude?
Jaxson Torres
Yes it is! My quick 1 minute Ableton recreation of it was terrible, but I'm glad you recognised it.
Thank you again, I've been dying to hear it for months now.
I'm pretty much a massive newfag when it comes to classical. When I was younger I used to fall asleep to Chopin or Bach. That's about the extent of my knowledge. Also Liszt's Dante Symphony is amazing. But The Divine Comedy is my favorite book ever so I would say that.
I enjoy it. You listen for timbre, rhythm and unusual harmonies more than melody. Its just a different way of listening. Schoenberg's five pieces for orchestra are based, and all very different.

Bump.

it it, probably because it sounds modernist but was written in romantic period

Forget spookiness, what are you listening to for All Saints' Day?
Agreed Japs love Bach Nah, Turn of the Screw+Owen Wingrave are great spooky-core. And he wrote lots of other good stuff too outside of the operas which are consistently great. I mean, Adorno is mean about him but Adorno is a meme Cultural conditioning. You can't listen to the vox humana and think that it's spooky Heard this live as a voluntary a couple of weeks ago. Brilliant piece I like Dvorak but I find his requiem intolerably boring. But since you like the commedia I'll give you a pass. Read it in the original or in translation?

What makes something a nocturne? What makes something a prelude?

Why was Schubert so bald, short and ugly? He should have worked on that body.
