I forget how good Dido and Aeneas is. One of those operas that really deserves the number of performances it gets

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Why are these people successful? Why can't society as a whole see these guys as the obvious hack they are?
Chase Wright
>tfw you actually got some guys from the piano ensemble class to play your duo Feels good
Ethan Nelson
>piano ensemble As in multiple pianos?
Carson Campbell
>tfw studying composition in a great conservatory >counterpoint teacher is stocked with some of my compositions >a piano concerto ends up being played at the main yearly conservatory recital >terrible reviews, everyone in the crowd hated it
This happened 5 years ago, i haven't composed anything ever since.
Are these kind of quotes as deliberate as they seem?
Nathaniel Hughes
As in piano 4 hands mainly. But my piece was for 2 separate pianos yes. I'm sorry to hear that user. Depending on what style it was, maybe it just wasn't their taste. In all honesty what I wrote probably sucked too, but my teacher and the people that heard it seemed to like it.
Tyler Scott
Every time Beethoven wrote a fugue it was just strange
Adam Ross
Can somebody upload the image featuring all the tripfag's favorite composers?

Eli Martin
>"People that don't listen to baroque music on harpsichord are absolutely disgusting. If any of you out there prefer the piano, refrain from spreading your seed and neck yourself."
wow... Rousset really went off the cuff there
Blake Campbell
Somebody said that Beecham quote to him one too many times. It's understandable
Dominic Hall
something like this
Parker Lewis
I immediately like this guy
Although Bach's WTC played by Schiff is still pretty nice
discovered 3 years ago in random streamin site in harpsichord ver(dissapreared) but it's great in my opinion
Luke Scott
>it's great in my opinion
good to know your opinion is worthless then
Benjamin Cox

Camden Hall
Can you not?
Isaiah Miller
Yeah, Dido is great. I really like the Currentzis performance, but it's a shame the singers have garbage diction.
Jacob White
If the opposite is romantic style like Barenboim then it should make you appreciate toned down interpretations. The biggest advantage of piano is being able to bring out different voices and it's helpful to not have huge dynamics overall.
Nathan Murphy
>Bach pianists apologists on /classical/
I want them to GTFO Harpsichord, Clavichord, Organ. Nothing else is acceptable.
Ayden Murphy
>HIP apologists The real problem,
Michael Myers
I would mostly agree with this, but WTC really suits piano beautifully
I didn't even have to include more difficult-to-digest composers like Ferneyhough or Lachenmann
Ryder King
stop man please
Easton Nguyen
All awful.
Juan Hughes
Not an argument.
Andrew Allen
Don't think it was meant to be an argument, retard

Check and mate.

I guess you guys aren't into 20th century music? those are some of the most accessible pieces (beyond the exclusions already listed by )
Just accept contemporary music isn't for you and stick to [whatever it is you do listen to].
Jordan Wilson
I enjoyed your postings

You should take your own pompous advice and stop listening to art music altogether.

Tbh, the "classical music" genre most folks know only encompasses the baroque, classical and romantic eras, as established in the euro-centric tonal system. You're gonna lose a lot of people here if you crank out compositions with atonalism, electroacoustics, or abstract graphical scores like this one: youtu.be/wbLcI9-Js0U
Zachary Perry
where are my freeleech tokens
Henry Allen
what cd is fucking dead mate
Luis Thomas
>you will never transcend the barriers between artist and listener like Beethoven did in the late quartets
he didn't transcend the barriers between him and me tho, kek

> Gershwin's condition was judged to be critical and the need for surgery immediate. An attempt by doctors at Cedars to excise the [brain] tumor was made in the early hours of the 11th, but it proved unsuccessful, and Gershwin died on the morning of July 11, 1937, at the age of 38.

Luis Sullivan
good riddance
Bentley Evans

Jayden Foster
"no"
Anthony Roberts
yeah arranging some overblown jazz tunes doesn't make you a good composer
Christopher Hughes
Settle down, Vulcan.
Wyatt Harris
how does he do this in the late quartets pls explain
Carson Ortiz
Anything of note that has come out within the "classical" realm since 2010?
Jeremiah Brooks
Become Ocean by J.L. Adams won a Pulitzer and Grammy. It sucks though.
Gavin King
Bloch is good
Austin Allen
for nothing.
Robert Martin
:(
Jeremiah Anderson
They were asking for contemporary music, I supplied some of the more tonal and easier contemporary pieces. The Pärt piece is almost baroque, and the Jenkins piece is more like a traditional church hymn with a bit of solo improvisation.
Its fine if people don't like 20th century music, its not for everyone. As long as they don't complain when they can't understand it.
Has anyone seen Rautavaara's opera "Kaivos"? Supposedly the premiere was "uncensored" which is intriguing. Lera Auerbach released some pretty good shit in the last few years. Her Ballet The Little Mermaid, and her 24 preludes, sonatas and postludes "Celloquy" for piano and cello. Eve de-castro Robinson's "Releasing the Angel" Anthony Ritchie's "Gallipoli to the Somme" premiered this year was spectacular, as well as his opera "This other Eden" from 2014.
Hudson Ross
GOD, discovered Rautavaara on this board, this is great!
Listening to his 8th symphony
Caleb Jones
New to classical music, my favorite pieces so far are:
Toccata and Fugue - Bach Piano Sonata 16 - Mozart
I want to try some orchestral pieces but I have no idea where to start. Any recommendations?
