Yes, apologies if this has been done before. I have been listening to Beethoven's late string quartets and those along with the late piano sonatas and the Diabelli Variations. Surely these works are insurmountable and music could never be improved on after these were written? The pinnacle of all music.
Although, I regard JS Bach as equally important as Beethoven with his Mass in B minor, WTC, and the chaconne in D minor.
Let's be honest, no other composer comes close to what these two achieved. I love other composers and find Haydn and Mozart's symphonies intriguing and enjoyable but alas they don't reach the levels that Bach and Beethoven peaked at. They are contemporary forever.
PS
The last minute of the 1st movement of the 15th String Quartet is not of this world.
Jaxon White
fuck off
Jackson Turner
why?
Xavier Peterson
Mozart's mature piano concertos > everything you listed except the chaconne. The chaconne is legitimately the best thing ever penned.
Elijah White
Are there more composers like Borodin? Sunday composers, that is.
Hudson Lewis
>Mozart stopped reading there go troll somewhere else
>implying petzold was capable of writing anything good
Christian Watson
Fuck off. He wrote something so good that Bach, one of the most famous composers of all time, plagiarized it, and it became one of the most famous works attributed to him. Petzold is a genius. Fucking deal with it.
Hunter Smith
uh... other way around Bach wrote something amazing (as he always does because he's Bach) and through some poor bookkeeping it gets attributed to some nobody
mixups like that are the only reason anyone even knows petzold's name show me something good he did that has undeniable authorship
Levi Myers
What the fuck. I can't believe you'd say this. How dare you take Petzold's accomplishment away from him. You are one slimy piece of shit.
His Nocturnes and Polonaise were written for a very specific context. Imagine being in a Parisian Salon in 1845, and on the background you can hear his Preludes. I would sell my mom into slavery to live such an experience.
Of course they lose most of their appeal when you're listening to them in recitals, but they're still comfy enough to be appreciated in your mom's basement.
Also: his Piano Concerti are underrated. Sure, the orchestration is shit, but they're still fenomenal.
>his Piano Concerti are underrated. Sure, the orchestration is shit, but they're still fenomenal. They're rated correctly. A concerto is a dialogue between soloist and orchestra. If the orchestra is written like absolute trash, the dialogue breaks down. also >fenomenal
Christian Foster
Henle says grade 6/7 (difficult). If you want something easy from Schumann, Album for the Young is for you.
>le inflated melodramatic cuck jew composer its you who is the pleb
Kevin Peterson
Morton Feldman duh
Robert Nelson
cringey af
Dominic King
>including non-musical criticisms >accusing a late romantic composer of being melodramatic Its like you don't know what late romantic music is - its all melodramatic son
Henry Ortiz
>buzzwords lmaoing @ your life mahler cuck
Dominic Reyes
cuck is a buzzword
Bentley Lewis
most romantic composers can control their inner firetruck though. grieg is a good example. even rach wasnt as overblown as mahler
griegs music is like a nice bowl of ice cream after a good dinner. mahlers music is like stuffing your face with an entire tub nonstop
youre mom is a buzzword
Angel Kelly
>Firetruck Ah you're one of those, opinion discard (although I knew I would be discarding it as soon as you used the word cuck).

>tfw all the greatest composers were manlet >tfw in order to get that good at composing you necessarly have to be shunned for your entire life
I don't know guys, it seems to me that Mahler got the better deal: a magnificent brain and a pathetic body. He was built for success
Justin Bennett
Mahler was an avid hitchhiker and swimmer
Austin Ward
>Zinman Nice, he's a good Mahler conductor
Evan Thomas
fuck, that's heavy
Isaac Price
He was 5''3, and had you read his diaries you would know that he was extremely self-conscious about his height, to the point where, for his entire life, he feared abandonment from his wife cause of his appearances, wich ultimately happened.
The fact that he was a great hitch hiker means nothing, if anything it makes him even funnier and more pathetic. Can you imagine 5'3 Gustav Mahler swimming? I'm sure it would be hysterical
Cooper Howard
Why are you making fun of Mahler?
Jonathan Anderson
not him but probably because he was such a manlet that he compensated for it in his music
Tyler Myers
isn't that all of us?
Sebastian Brown
no
Josiah Edwards
definitely everyone who uses this website
John Carter
damn
Christopher Bailey
Sup Forums is the biggest hive of insecurity on the planet

I'm making fun of his height, while pointing out that this inherent ridicolousness guided him into artistic success, and we have biographical facts to prove that. Chad Mahler may have ended up being a jock ufficial in the imperial army, manlet Mahler instead ended up being one of the most important composers in our canon. I'm glad that Mahler was a manlet.
