Call me what you like, but Brahms's Op. 1 and Op. 2 sonatas (the first two) do not move me
Carter Cox
Listening to the first one as I type. Vivaldi dropping the incessant bombastic strumming present in so many others of his concertos in favour of more variation is welcome. Still nowhere as good as Bach's violin concertos though. Let's see what the other two are like.
It was the golden age of pianists definitely, perhaps not piano music
but then again, remember that the piano in the form that it exists today didn't exist until the 20th century. Neither did convenient means of recording work and selling it.

By the way, since we're talking Vivaldi, which are his best cantatas?
Anyone else prefer Boulez' version of Parsifal more than any other?
Jonathan Rivera
I got a classical guitar yesterday, any good resources so i can get good at this instrument? Nothing too basic, im advanced in theory and i bass playing
Juan Reed
Learn PIMA and just start picking pieces to learn.
Jaxon Richardson
>ywn be good enough to play one of Chopins sonatas
Justin Lopez
Some of his Nocturnes aren't too bad. You'll get there user! I took piano lessons for 4 years but was never into it, and then about 5 years later when I started really getting into classical music decided to start again and learned No. 19 as my first piece.

Wanted to bring some music for my campaign for a while and for the most I've been using chillhop, and future bass but I want to try with classical music as well
what kind of compositions would you say are particularly fantasy-like? both soft/mellow and hard/fast

Who is your favourite composer for violin sonatas?
Tyler Wilson
This makes me thing of Norwegian folklore and Viking mythology.
Yes they are. Art makes rules, not the other way around.
Soundtracks from fantasy games are probably your best bet as they're custom made to hit those tropes. If you want something fantasy-esque I guess you could try Stravinsky's Le Sacre or Bartok concerto for orchestra or some Tveitt or Martinu
Classical is often written to be the center of attention, and doesn't work well as background music - too quiet, then too loud, then too dissonant, then too quiet again, etc. Unless you're on the volume the whole time and have a playlist of appropriate tracks selected, it may be more trouble than its worth. Just put some Jeremy Soule or Matt Uelman playlist on.
Ian Fisher
Bach
Anthony Cooper

>Art makes rules, not the other way around.
Art only makes the rules to the threshold of your own perception. Beyond that, the rules exist and operate in sober immanence, Mathematical even, far from our senses or any augmentative devices that might lend them to observation sufficient enough to disprove the first assertion.
Do you even know what you speak of, my poor interlocutor? Why ascribe instrumental vulgarity to that ever so scrumptious core of beautifully diffuse sonata-ness? Your perception of the word "violin" in the score, far from confirming your oaf-like tumble down the epistemological ladder, only serves to further reinforce my point that - and here lies the unimpeachable beauty - the composer himself, yes my poor interlocutor, he fell for the very same temptation as you did! Thus, my point is further proved!
Isaac Flores
The rules themselves dont "operate" themselves. They are tools. Composers learn them and use them as they wish.
David Myers
>mfw I hear someone using an open fifth
Nolan King
Ah, but when you hear an open fifth it's most important that we hastily separate the wheat from the chaff so to speak and know that our perception of this fifth is merely a phenomenal flatulence so to speak, and that we should direct our utmost attention to that which is imperceptible instead. The more imperceptible it is, the greater this direction should be.
>Italians invented almost everything related to classical music >classical music is completely dominated by G*rmans
How did this happen?
Justin Peterson
Had no idea Friedman transcribed some Mahler. It's lovely
Alexander Garcia
There's this CD
Juan Flores
>Italians invented almost everything related to classical music Nah. English and Dutch started most of it, back in the 15th century. Maybe the English guy working in Paris who was probably Anonymous IV back in the 13th century
Wyatt Morris
Say what you will about Mahler, but the guy was a godlike orchestrator.
Nolan Rodriguez
The best!
Adam Mitchell
>Englishmen >having anything to do with music You probably also think that boomer rock bands are cool, amirite? >the English guy working in Paris Ah, you were only trolling. Carry on then.
The "H""R""E". Most italian musicians came from the northern republics and kingdoms, the ones that part of or bordering the "Holy" "Roman" "Empire", so they were mostly germans speaking italians by accident, or german-italian rape babies, or italians living in a germanic-italian cultural milieu.
Southern Italy was and is a pretty barren place, since they were raped by turks and arabs instead.

daily reminder to kill yourself if you actually believe this
Tyler Ramirez
Oh neither of you know anything about renaissance music? wow
Franco-flemish were the first real masters of polyphonic music
Italians were so damn dominant as a cultural force in music that until the second half of the 18th century barely anyone outside of France dared to write an opera in any language other than Italian. The English soil was so sterile for music that they had to import a german (Handel) to stay relevant on the scene. Handel wrote his operas in Italian.
Death to the Anglosphere! Fucking cultural destroyers. That's why 20th century music took such a nose dive -- the Anglos had to incite two world wars to sate their barbaric, envious bloodlust. And then they blamed it all on the Germans.
>Sup Forums >/classical/

Christian Anderson

Tyler James
But does being a "master" in something means you invented it? Germans are masters in terms of composers as well, yet they didn't invent shit related to it.
Dominic Ross
Oh please, every noteworthy Englishman is Norman (meaning French) by ancestry. The Anglo-Saxons are subhuman rats. We must clean the rat among us.
Bring out the rat poison!
Julian Ross
Well you could say the ancient Greeks invented art music, or perhaps the sumerians, or perhaps cavemen from 10,000 years ago playing pentatonic bone flutes.
Ayden Thompson
Italians are a bunch of cucks with oedipus complexes anyway, who get buttblasted the second you say anything about their mothers
Mason Thomas
Solid proof that the pentatonic scale is the worst scale. I'm not surprised that it's the scale of choice for rockers and orientals.
Connor Bell
English and French genes have been interbreeding for all time. Not to mention vikings all up in there. Whole place was roman at one point. The romans and myriad non-romans were all over both countries long before they existed.
English polyphony in the 15th century was up there with the best. Dunstaple was one of the main forces in the Burgundian school.
Andrew Walker
That's why it's called rock music. Its creators have the musical sophistication of a stone age caveman.
Adam Sanchez
Scarlatti (the first composer to transition into classical) was a terrone from Naples.
>The Italian composer Domenico Scarlatti was an important figure in the transition from Baroque to Classical style. His unique compositional style is strongly related to that of the early Classical period. He is best known for composing more than five hundred one-movement keyboard sonatas. In Spain, Antonio Soler also produced valuable keyboard sonatas, more varied in form than those of Scarlatti, with some pieces in three or four movements.
Jayden Walker
Hmmm
Dominic Barnes

Brandon Ramirez
>emotionally complex Define emotional 'complexity'. There's a reason why emotions are produced in the most primitive part of the brain you know. And who did Liszt influence anyway? He seems like a product of his times, utterly.
