>Aho >Saariaho >Salonen >Sibelius >Rautavaara (eh) What are other Finnish composers worth caring about? Is Segerstam actually good or is he just a meme?
They just dont know that actual contemporary classical exists.
Colton Jones
>tfw working on the same score for the last 6 hours
fucking hell this is a nightmare why cant fucking software be as easy as fucking pen and paper FUCK
Eli Miller
That's my favourite recording of Kullervo desu
The work is a little bit too long but when you're in the mood for it, it's like all the fun bits of Sibelius put together. Makes me wish he'd had more of a go at writing operas
Joshua Torres
Oh no wait, wrong one. I prefer the Segertsam recording. Will have to have a listen to that Vanska one though
Jose Peterson
Why don't you just use pen and paper then ?
Jackson Williams
desu when I feel like Sibelius I usually got for the violin concerto. Not the biggest fan but he's a good composer.
Joshua Murphy
How does Finland have so much great music for such a small country?
Sebastian Clark
actually tis grime lol xD
Luke Perez

Juan James
Answer to both is autism.
Juan Nelson
That's the answer to literally everything in the universe according to Sup Forums.

Play the best Saariaho song in the world.

>I don't think governments will ever have to make laws like that, because wealthy patrons have always realized the importance of making art accessible and fund music halls, orchestras, composers, etc.
That's kinda apologetic. Most western countries are funding contemporary music, but their support is laughable at best.
>It's not a communist idea, because access to art and access to food and housing are totally different animals It is ultimately a communist idea, but it is a very pragmatic one. We've had about 80 years of actual music business, so we should be free to talk about the current situation (wich have been static for half a century now) as an actual phenomenon, and not just what's happening know. And what's this actual phenomenon? A complete decadence of the art. You won't find any resemblance of craft or true meaning in any top 40 song of the last 50 years. They're garbage and the public has been completely alienated from what music appreciation is, to a point where you actually have to explain to people how you should listen to Chopin (you actually have to say that listen to beethoven on your ipod while doing laundry is not a good way to experience his art). The complete mercification of art has bought only decadence and dumbing down to our public repertoire. I'm pretty sure that everyone here has abandoned every sort of delusion on any composer becoming as famous as Shostakovich was in the '40s, yet no one is ready to be radical enough to just say that this system is simply not compatible with art.
It's not about being a libtard or a rightwing-nut, it's more about assessing the reality of the situation (the public is simply uncapable of promoting thoughtful music).
Eli Edwards
Nah, it's just because metal has access to certain moods and emotions, and those emotions are always the most accessible ones to the modern public. People are really not equipped to listen to a Bach cantata and make something out of it, but whenever they hear the third movement of the Moonlight Sonata they'll just go ''wow, that's the death metal of the 1800s'' only because the only thing they understand about that piece is the fury, frustration and fast-tempo.
Landon Collins
FUCK. OFF.
Aiden Green
We're on /classical/, you're allowed to build an argument. I will take it seriously and respond respectfully without assuming that you're a retard. You can do the same.
Jaxson Parker
Why does Janacek like tritones so much reee

Sibelius symphonies are excellent! What else of his works should I hear?
We all know our textbooks are full of them. But what about an entire college course that features nothing but dead white men? I took a survey music history class last semester, and I was just archiving my notes when I noticed the overwhelming dead white dude factor. (We did not use these textbooks, by the way. I just used the pictures.)
To be fair, this course attempts to whip through about a thousand years of western music in less than four months. To be fair, we did cover Philip Glass in the last week, and though he is a white man, he is not, in fact, dead. To be fair, our instructor did mention in passing that Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel (dead white women) were also talented, just like their more famous husband and brother, respectively.
The instructor explained that there just wasn't time to delve into other areas of music such as women composers, jazz, or ethnomusicology. (I've recently figured out that ethnomusicology means any music that wasn't made by a dead white man. It's also not required coursework for many masters programs.)
The message, in case you missed it: dead white men make the most important music. The other stuff is cool, but we can only talk about it if we have time left to kill.
Juan Torres
Everyone who uses "woman" as an adjective is subhuman
the sad part is that rich people dont even care about art anymore. The old aristocracy has been replaced by nouveau riche stem-fags, that would rather spend a million dollars on a private Katy Perry concert rather than help fund an opera house.
I'm a communist so I ofc don't think the arts should be dependent on rich people, It's just pretty fucking sad that neither the government nor any other institutions don't give a shit about contemporary art.

There is no such thing.

You're a very unique snowflake then, one of a kind subwoman

What the fuck are you trying to say?

>discrediting leftists on /classical/ It's like you hate 80% of the guys in the OP filedump
Evan Perez
none of them were communists, shlomo
Xavier Allen
>none of them were communists, shlomo Nice delusions you've got there mate.
Jaxon Morales
Enjoy living in your shit capitalist world where the only music that's deemed valuable is the kind that makes the most money.
Tyler Reed
What is some essential commie-core? There's Shosty I guess but he hated Stalin.
Nathaniel Cook
Ustolvolskaya, but she was probably in the same boat as shosty
Angel Sanders
He was against stalinism, but he still was a communist at heart.
Tyler Kelly
Beethoven's 9th Symphony is objectively a socialist symphony. Also I know that Ravel was a commie too. Most composers from the second Viennese School were Frankfurtist.
Not that metal is, but how is jazz remotely similar to classical?
Logan Davis
You might as well ask how contemporary classical is remotely similar to classical classical.
Adam Richardson
It uses the same instruments and tonal harmonic system
Joseph Jenkins
fav part is the end where everyone is using the hammers
Chase Taylor
in this song i made, there's moments in the chorus where i "jump the gun" on the start of the measure, dont really know how to put it. what would this look like in proper notation regarding rhythm for the guitar? vocaroo.com/i/s16X5U5ixQj5 i'm just getting into score and music theory and stuff, and this is how the riff came to me originally, but i don't know how to translate it to score
Zachary Perry
can someone explain the Petzold meme?
Zachary Carter
It's silly that one of Bach's more famous compositions was actualy composed by someone else, whose name is Petzold, therefore it's funny to say "Petzold" randomly.
Jack Scott
>listening to Quatour Pour La Fin Du Temps >movement is titled "Dance of Fury, for the Seven Trumpets" >there are no trumpets What did Messiaen mean by this?
Adrian Jenkins
memessiaen
Nathaniel Perry
Wow! He was the composer of Anh. 115 and 114 I think. I love his style.
Adam Gomez
You are ugly.
Landon Gonzalez
It is a reference to the book of Revelations. But it was written and premiered in a prison camp so he didn't have much scope for including a large brass section.
Holy crap,That was amazing!I just wan to to use this in a vido with slo mo killing people.Thi is amazing.Eвaлa ти пpaaa
Cooper James
What software are you using? is the software the problem or is it just that scores take a while? I'm dreading having to score out my symphony, its going to take months. Almost Everything is written in DAW, just a matter of transferring it via MIDI into sibelius, then starting the fine orchestration details, dynamics, cleaning up, balance etc. Its a shitload of work.
*Contemporary classical is the closest thing to classical that exists today
Camden Lopez
Youtube commenters should realize that murder is a crime
Nolan Gray
Hi poly. Why do people here seem to hate you so much that you're a meme? Just curious.
Xavier Morgan
Holy shit, this isn't just a remix. A remix is usually just a beat put onto a sample. This is actual reinterpretation of the piece, and making it into a new idea.
