>tfw listening to Gaspard de la Nuit and knowing I will never ever be able to play it Why the fuck did my parents not force me to learn piano when I was a kid
Gabriel Lee
Yes and he was tasked with creating Music Entartete
Daniel Williams
Absolutely degenerate
Robert Hall
their all Jewish. That seems kind of prejudicial
Eli James
I love how somebody can parrot propaganda memes about entartete kunst while ignoring the fact modernistic tendencies was brought to music by Satie, Debussy, Ravel, Richard Strauss etc. But they aren't Jews so it doesn't count, I guess!
Degenerate scum is what you are for not thinking with your own head.
Mozart (underrated God of music) sold the most albums this year. Sup Forums absolutely destroyed.
Henry Perry
So I just finished listening to The Ninth Symphony by a fellow named Ludwig Beethoven, and I've gotta say, that's a DAMN fine piece of music. Who agrees?
Christian Davis
>He forgot Mendelssohn
Pleb. Jews are great at music for some reason.
Alexander Jenkins
Don Giovanni.
That's wrong. Possibly the greatest 20th century composer even, top 5 at least.
Ayden Perez
but the 4th movement should have ended halfway through
Gavin Sanchez
Of Beethoven's Ninth? Fuck off.
Elijah Hernandez
Meme symphony. Come back when you've developed a refined taste.
Jacob Diaz
It may be the greatest symphony of all time.
Joshua King
Wasn't here for it, but what did you guys think of Stravinsky's Funeral Song?
Camden Robinson
It isn't even his best symphony.
Asher Lee
then what is?
Jaxson Price
I was just messing with you but you fucking went full retard on me.
Christopher Ramirez
What other symphony can compare? Seriously. . . .
Grayson Richardson
Eroica
Eli Long
pretty goddamn hard but if I had to pick one it'd be ballade no 4
Are there any good books about the history of classical music? Going from the beginnings till contemporary, something like that?
Joshua Hall
There's the Oxford History of Western Music by Richard Taruskin, if you want something really long and in-depth (five volumes). If you'd prefer something a bit shorter in just one volume, you could go with A History of Western Music by Donald Grout instead.
Camden Perry
When did you grow out of Bach /classical/? I was 24 when I did
Elijah Fisher
I'll check both but I was searching for something like the former. Thanks!
Mason Adams
Read Rosen's criticism of Taruskin and keep it in mind while reading.
Angel Collins
never have, never will. After 30 years, he's still one of the greatest composers.
Isaac Stewart
Bach is supposed to get better as you get older. You're opinion is shit
Aaron Baker
Batch is autistic lmfao
Jordan Perez
Zappa's "classical" music is awful, and you should feel bad for promoting it in a thread dedicated to actual art music.
He could play guitar pretty well in a sleazy way, and he could write mildly amusing come-music that would make a 10 year old smile awkwardly, but thats about it.
Jayden Wood
Only because you become more autistic when you get older, lmfao!
Liam Richardson
no he isn't. He's a master improviser who knew his shit. Autistic people dont tend to hold kappelmeister positions, have 2 wives and 20 children
Sebastian Morris
I don't think aging works like that.
Noah Sanders
All good music is tasteful
Jeremiah Torres
Well think again lmfao!
Nathaniel Edwards
But is it good music? I don't think so.
Nolan Cruz
You mean Zappa's? As far as classical, no; as far as popular music, sure.
Sebastian Rogers
Popular music is bad, though.
Colton Miller
>lmfao >can't into Bach Once you mature, you might appreciate, or even begin to understand Bach. Then again, you may stay a pleb your whole life.
Jordan Ross
I was the biggest Batch fan for a long time until I grew out of autism and realized it was shit lmfao!
Jordan Hill
But wait... if you get more autistic as you get older, then how do you grow out of autism...?
Asher Harris
Because I haven't reached the age of nervous decay lmfao!
David Foster
Well Alzheimer's isn't autism
Jace Reyes
he's still better than glass and most other post 60s composers
Jason Perez
no he's not
Carson Sanders
yes because they are all absolute shite
Carter Butler
they're not and my quads don't lie
Blake Taylor
you are too dumb to operate quads desu
Caleb Barnes
well that's just mean
Ryan Brown
He's at least better than Glass, give Zappa that much.
