Listening to serialism is a highly dangerous and ultimately pointless exercise, but unfortunately for some people it constitutes part of an academic syllabus. Even worse, one may have to learn to 'appreciate' it if one is to ever take up a teaching post in music. What follows are some tips on how to carry out this difficult task:
Performing serialism live is in fact impossible so you will need to purchase a recording performed by robots.
When putting in the CD or tape you will experience excessive sweating, dangerously high heart rates, and an impulse to scream. This is perfectly normal and is part of your body's natural defense against viruses and bacteria.
When playing the music you must find some way to minimize the sound that you actually hear. Some recommended methods are: earplugs; humming; regularly going to raves and standing in front of speaker stacks. What is important is that anyone else listening to it with you does not notice these measures, otherwise they may believe you are not "appreciating". Suitable ways to describe the music after it has finished are: "moving", "intense", "so representative of the pain and complexity of modern society". Under no circumstances should you say anything related to the truth.
Analyzing each and every tone row of the piece is also recommended. Although a worthless and soul-destroying exercise, it will help you better "understand" and "appreciate" the piece. By this stage the urge to kill will probably be spiraling out of control so you may well want to have a sitter to watch over you and tie you down if necessary.

We live in a time when many people experience their lives as empty and lacking in fulfillment. The decline of religion and the collapse of communism have left but the ideology of the free market whose only message is: consume, and work hard so you can earn money to consume more. Yet even those who do reasonably well in this race for material goods do not find that they are satisfied with their way of life. We now have good scientific evidence for what philosophers have said throughout the ages: once we have enough to satisfy our basic needs, gaining more wealth does not bring us more happiness.
Charles Long
if there's something you enjoy doing that satisfies a social need, you can derive fulfillment from doing that, as long as the action itself is the main goal

why are most singers utter shits I think I've met a grand total of about two "pure" singers who I actually like and who actually know something about music
Also I discovered that Kaufmann is singing an Otello (as the title role) this summer at ROH. what the fuck
Joshua Harris
her instagram account is basically her roleplaying as her violin case
but now that she's had a baby and posts political stuff about Trump she's not as interesting as she used to be
Yo I'm a first year music major and I want get a good grasp on composing simple phrases with diatonic chords before doing things like secondary functions, modulation etc, but the thing is I am having trouble practicing. I have been reading fundamentals of music composition by schoenberg and he says to start with 2 bars of I-V and sketch like crazy but i feel im just writing arpeggio forms rather than motives and phrases. Help please ill suck your dick

ive no idea, no knowledge or experience with this, but could the following be helpful? start by writing down music you like whose score you haven't read and analyzing what makes it sound the way it does, then let that inspire your own ideas
perhaps writing it down will connect intuitive and explicit understanding and reveal structure to you
Ian Richardson
Where to go for more rhythmic, percussive stuff after Reich's Drumming?
>piece I want to play I can play most bass rep pretty comfortably by now. Later bits in this are still hard to play in tune and smoothly though youtube.com/watch?v=_o9ta5wz6Gc
Adam White
This is a classical thread retard, go back to your children's music thread
Levi Green

Jordan Taylor

>When all I did was fap to porn, do drugs, and sleep, I wished I had a successful life and someone to share it with. Now that I have a career and a fiancee, I wish I could fap to porn, do drugs, and sleep all day.
