Alright, the abridged guide was finished earlier today
>Best decade? >Shittiest decade?
John Hernandez
huh, not too bad. I would include Schoenberg's 5 pieces for orchestra in the 1900 instead of Puccini.
Get some Ferneyhough in the 70s instead of glass - time and motion study 2.
If you want to do 20th century right, you want to include the most cutting edge stuff from each period. Schoenberg instead of late romantic opera, ferneyhough instead of doubling up on minimalism.
I would exchange kancheli with Arvo Part's fratres in the 90s too
Ian Turner
1910>
Chase Hernandez
>Martinu Replace Martinu with Carter's first two string quartets.
Parker Baker
if you're not listening to HIP you're doing it wrong
Gabriel Smith
Is posting images of women with shitty opinions some sort of social experiment?
Anthony Garcia
who's gonna represent the importancy of italian opera? pierrot really marked an important period.
glass is really important to the later decades even if a sellout i wouldn't remove it
Jaxon Diaz
Classical Music lost itself after Bartok died. No real leader after him. Everything pretty much sucks after Bartok
Lucas Nguyen
where are all the shitty spectralist composers you shill all the time
Nolan Jenkins
personally I can do without most of Bartok...
If I want sharp, incongruous cacophony I'll break glass
Kevin Perry
>personally I can do without most of Bartok... t. hasn't listened to enough bartok
Blake Murphy
REPLACE GLASS WITH RAUT RIGHT NOW REEEEEEEEEE
Hudson Rogers
They're both already there... Grisey and Murail
fair point about pierrot, I think complexity is worth representing in the 70s instead of 3 minimalists (rothko being the 3rd - kind of minimal) Drop glass or Reich or Rothko for some Ferneyhough. You could also drop Boulez for some Penderecki in the 60s
Hudson Ortiz
>mfw plebs think bartok is all about sharp, incongruous cacophony
David Smith
Post your top 40 essential string quartets and quintets.
Lol who are all these people outside of Torelli, Corelli, Scarlatti, and Biber?
Noah Ward
r8 my renaissance snippet, i tried to break out of the species counterpoint and sound more like the famous composers. mostly made it by ear, not really following rules
>Bach wrote music a long time and had over 40 years to perfect his craft. Mozart mastered and exceeded some of bachs writing in only 10 years. Even though mozart still had a little ways to go to match all of Bach, it's pretty obvious he would e exceeded everyone if he lived just 10 more years. There is no debate in my mind mozart was the greatest composer ever, but that's because I'm the only one who seems to factor age and the fact no one during his time even came close to him. Thank you mozart. You were truly a gift to this world.
I'm mad
Cameron Ward
best recording of Dvorak's ninth?
Lucas Nelson
>Why do people listen to Ferneyhough? To hear a performer pushed to their limits, playing music full of micro details that almost never repeat. Its high density and probably best in small quantities, but if you listen for the tiny gestures nestled in the music you can get something different each time you hear it - kind of like zooming into different areas of a fractal. Its probably best experienced live - seeing the cellist nestled among wires and microphones, and realizing the player is at times trying to be heard over their own past being played over speakers...
