What's your go-to rainy day music? Mine's Prokofiev's 2nd piano concerto

The only Christmas song I enjoy is Carol of the Bells.

It's also the only classical song I enjoy.

ECM?

Now that Youtube has full albums uploaded at Opus 160kb/s, it's super easy to find almost anything.

Here's what I do now:

>Follow a reviewer or seek out reviews on Amazon or somewhere for an album you're interested in

>Search Youtube for the artist, filter by Channel, select the one that says X - Topic

>Click Albums

>Bam, you've got CDs and full fucking boxsets arranged in playlists automatically

I don't even know why people bother with Spotify or radio anymore. It's especially great if you're browsing different performances.

hey what do u guys Think of Gorecki's 3rd
I know it's a meme and it's really bad but something about those descending melodies at the end are sort of strange to me, has this lulling sense of calm with something horrible present, like a scene from a soap opera where Everything is covered in cobwebs and there's morning dew in the cobwebs and there's this mellow orange light over Everything and it's all gross and strange while still being comforting in some way. I feel like it has the emotional range of a soap opera, and doesn't express actual angst or sorrow like let's say a bartok string Quartet. But i Think there's something enticing in how it's so tame and eventless while still trying to be emotional and sorrowful, creates this gross sticky aura about it. What do yu guys Think

Wagner > Mahler > Shostakovich

this has been established already

Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District > Parsifal

Heifetz

I give it 5 out of 10, try changing the harmonic rhythm; perhaps with some anticipations, suspensions etc. You just dont want it to be clunky and awkward, make the listener want the chords.

Mahleranon are you here?
How is Oskar Fried's Mahler? Especially in comparison to Mahler's other groupies like Walter and Mengelberg?

He's definitely the best in that particular interpretive approach

My only problem with the auto-generated Youtube stuff is that a lot of it is incorrectly tagged/organized. I suppose this is to be expected with auto-generation, but it can still be kind of annoying.

But, yes, there's a surprising amount of stuff on Youtube, even some rarer recordings which I am surprised are on there at all.

He's interesting in the sense that he and the audio engineers of his time managed the feat of a full acoustical recording of Mahler's 2nd, but that's mostly it.

The only Fried I've listened to have been acoustic recordings, so I've always been a bit ambivalent about them, as they're only barely musical. I can tolerate acoustic recordings when it's a solo piano or a violin, but a full orchestra is rarely done justice, and the recording conditions themselves were often poor and very cramped. I remember reading an article regarding Walter's first time recording in the early 1900s, and he said it was one of the most unpleasant experiences he had.

I know there's a few non-acoustic recordings of Fried, but I haven't heard them. iirc Arbiter issued some of his stuff from the late 1930s, right before he died.

Oh, right, I did hear his Beethoven 9th, which was a very early electric recording.

Unfortunately I've only heard it in a pretty bad transfer, and didn't find it particularly remarkable aside from the astonishingly well sung finale.

Kill yourselves.

Score it for organ next time ; it sounds better in MIDI. Also post the score.

Two (2) parallel fifths between m.15,4 and m.16.

too lazy

Yes i KNOW about the parallel movement....which is why I said "pseudo" 4 part. The problem is its supposed to be the chorus of a metal song I'm working on and the chorus is a 3 chord progression (Em, CM, DM) so I had to fudge things to try and make it fit.

>the chorus of a metal song I'm working on and the chorus is a 3 chord progression (Em, CM, DM)
Kill yourself and never return here again

that's cute. did you write the midi and then use a website to convert with a soundfont or?

Classical music really brings out the conceited morons doesn't it. The once that think listening to Beethoven makes them an expert on everything else. There's absolutely nothing grammatically wrong with the construction "me and my..."

You just don't get New Complexity.

Damn I bet he had an orgy afterwards

Its gramatically incorrect. You wouldn't say "r8 my pseudo-4part harmony that me wrote, /classical/"

Here's another odd thingy I notated the other day. Roast me, /classical/

Yo my four year old niece can do that too. If you're going for a shitty interpretation of Ligeti you nailed it. Maybe post something when you learn how to use a fucking tone matrix

Thanks for the (You) lad. I just smashed my piano keys

Mahler is everything Wagner wishes he could be.

they both suck

What man, you don't value your self worth in how many Bird licks you know

ClASSical music is the worst meme of all time

2/10 for effort.

>Parallel fifth
yeah let's pretend we're in the 18th century

add more dissonances and you'll sound like Messiaen

If that was so he wouldn't have written only operas

Post a timestamped picture of your musicology degree along with at least ten (10) compositions that you've authored. Otherwise, you do not have the sufficient credentials to discuss erudite music.

Are Takács overrated?

That cover gave me cancer, looks like something out of a cheesy metal band album.

You first

Not them but here's a fugue I'm working on:
clyp.it/prcgzbcl

Doing something a bit different this time : second exposition is an inversion of the first theme. Not sure if I like it or not. Usually I intuitively write the second exposition, as a more organic permutation of the theme.

>musicology
>composing
musicology composers are somewhat rare. Composers tend to study composition, musicologists tend to study musicology. Occasionally you have ethnomusicologist composers like Bartok or Kodaly, or Psathas today, who study folk music and notate it out. The stereotype is that musicologists are very dry and scientific and don't have a creative bone in their body, whereas composers tend to be all creativity and 'just enough science to get by'

No they aren't

What are some good recordings without ridiculous dynamic range? I'm sick of fumbling with my volume knob and getting my ears blown off in the car

how long does it take to learn enough theory to be a composer?

a day
what you really do is learning other composer's pieces, not some abstract theories

Some composers don't know any theory at all. I would say to be recognized as a composer, you need to be able to write scores for classical performers without any help from an orchestrator, and have at least a basic understanding of music theory - chords, keys, instrument limits and capabilities.
You never really stop learning as a composer, there's always something you don't know, or an area you haven't discovered yet. I would say a 3 year music degree at a college or university would give you a good grounding for being a composer. I would only recommend that if you already write a lot of music. You don't really learn to be a composer, you learn to be a better composer. Being a composer is either something you are or aren't.

you're in the wrong genre

try some Phase 4 Decca recordings, i guess. they have very squashed dynamics

kys fucking pleb

Compression has killed music, and you let it.
Take this advice.

Get out of this general

Holy christ you normie fucking faggot
The loudness wars are cancer

I don't want very squashed, just not extreme.

Thanks

Yeah sure

Go back to your brickwalled pop music libcuck

In all seriousness, just put on your local FM radio classical station as there will be some dynamic range compression applied

just listen to baroque music

I'm having a hard time finding a full complete recording of Satie's Vexations to download, can anyone here help me out?

Vexations is a single page work, just because Satie added a comment about playing it hundreds of times, that doesn't mean you should. A few overly literal comedians doesn't make it HIP.

This is a good recording and has a lot of other similar works.

Or this one which has an interesting work by Hindemith for the trautonium, an early electronic instrument. rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4452753

autism

I'm completely aware of everything regarding this piece, and I disagree with the purpose not being to play it as instructed.
Either way, I want a full 840 cycle recording.
I already have that Van Veen collection; he actually did a full vexations recording but I cannot find a download link anywhere.

Hah, you do sound ridiculous, good luck beating your head on the wall then I guess.

It's amazing how well French trolling works.

Only truly retarded faggots need 840 repetitions to get the "point". It's the same as mediation, you can either do it, or deck out in scented candles, yoga mats and white noise machines.

Why is this guy so underrated?
