Better yet, lets post alpha pianists which thus weren't jewish
Dylan Wood
This is now Stravinsky thread.
Evan Torres
Reminder that stravinsky (with no capital s) composed at the piano
Mason Sanders
SHOCKING TRUTH
Anthony Gray
Just getting into Bach, what is his best String Quartet, Requiem, and Opera?
Parker Gonzalez
Just getting into Mozart, what is his best chorale prelude, his best work for solo violin, and his best work for solo cello?
Jose Martin
Just getting into Lizst, what is his best piano work and transcription?
Oliver Collins
>Schubert and Schumann early works
They sound more like exercises, rather than works of art I wonder to what extent they've appreciated their first pieces in their later years, especially Schumann.
Landon Collins
Schubert probably didn't have much time to reflect on it since he died super young
Grayson Harris
>Schumann's early works >exercises have you listened to them at all
Mason Sanders
Yes, and they are amateurish at best up to Op. 13 and 14, and even then they are still clueless and borderline laughable (Schumann in these years was actually a laughing stick for French composers) if compared to his later works.
Still, he started composing in his 20s, so I think it's excusable.
Hudson Thompson
how do i make a musicc
Adam Carter
is this /pseud/ general?
Benjamin Russell
read fux's gradus ad parnassum, do the exercises, read schoenberg's fundamentals of musical composition, go to university / college
Aiden Carter
Y-you take that back, op. 14 is lovely.
>laughing stick for French composers Sauce me on this pls.
Levi Taylor
If you don't listen to at least a little bit of classical, you're not a music fan at all
Henry Hill
Can anybody recommend me some joyous sounding organ music? A few days ago I heard >Schumann's Six pieces in canon form, op 56 and I enjoyed the first one.
Jayden Martin
Yes, everyone who doesn't listen to your pop trash is a pseud. So true.
Thanks. I'm just getting into Brahms big time now so I'm looking forward to this.
Evan Rodriguez
He got insane when he was 46, that's not super young (unless you're talking about his bipolar personality disorder).
Mason Baker
Strauss bump youtube.com/watch?v=oXIsMt-FPhw Most people don't go crazy at all and if they do it's because they get Alzheimer's at an old age.
Adrian Clark
Well, it's still 18th century Vienna: lots of people in Schumann's generation went cracy way earlier than him due to syphilis. People of his time would have not said that he died young.
Grayson Cox
Les Noces > Rite of Memes
Justin Flores
What are some really melancholy stuff to listen too? Or tragic sounding? I've been listening to a lot of Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 6.
Would like to be bombarded with recommendations.
Lincoln Ramirez
reminder that Stravinsky was a one-hit wonder who never recalled that original success
Christopher Wood
Mahler's sixth symhony
Alexander Reed
ha .. ha
Carter Clark
Neither of these pieces are melancholic.
David King
>Or tragic sounding
Carter Kelly
Then recommended me some that are.
Jordan Garcia
Why do people like Tchaikovsky? I've listened to his last 3 symphonies, and they bored me to death: I always have the impression that too few things are happening in any given passage. Even if I still have not memorized his music, every passage of his appear to me as stale, generic and overly simplistic (sorry if I'm stressing it, but it was way too uneventful for my taste, there was not even a single moment that really fired my neurons).
Another similar case is Chopin. My mom, who is way more naive than me as a listener (she mostly listens to pop music) will actually cry while listening to Chopin: on me the most common reaction is boredom. There is a big chunk of the repertoire that pleases most are actual magnets for the general population, real crowd pleasers (Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Mendelssohn, early Liszt), and I simply don't understand it. The only link I can see is that most of these artists uses often repetitions, are not that radical in their thematic treatment (if it's there at all: Chopin, for example, frequently adds unrelated ideas to his musical flow, not that I've ever seen non-musicians complaining about it), and the amount of actual content is fairly low in quantity. how many complex pieces have been written by the aforementioned composers? Their composition may be sophisticated, but they're all simple in nature (not wrongly so, since this simplicity seems to be a prerequisite if you aant to reach the general public). If you think that I'm too concerned about complexity, I'll admit that it is probably a prejudice, based on a purely phisiological response. I'm not interested in complexity for complexity's sake, but past a certain treshold simplicity becomes almost untolerable (for the same reason I have always has troubles listening to popular and underground band music, since those repetitions that are usually not a problem for most listeners, were truly irritating to me).
Andrew Stewart
The Adagio from the Hammerklavier Sonata, played by Pollini.
David Smith
>ywn never have the makings of a varcity academic
Luke Cooper
What?
Cooper Bailey
Its Schumann, you don't listen to the Sonatas, symphonies or anything with classical forms, you go for the tone poems he composed on the piano
Sopranos reference faggot, that's Junior in your picture
Andrew Bell
>Schumann was an amateur until he composed his third piano sonata >"not true, to prove my point I'll post here 4 composition he composed after his third sonata"
Nicholas Thompson
I'm not that guy, I just did not get that reference. Chill out.
Jacob Lopez
I'm agreeing with you faggot, Schumann starts to get good when he disposes of classical forms and writes miniatures and songs
Papillons and Fantasistuck are the best pre Op 15 Schumann compositions, Schumann was trying to find his footing that's all
Blake Davis
Schumann was still in the middle of his formal training (which he always valued immensely, always taking pride in the erudition that he attained later on his life): the favt that there are decent compositions in those years do not really discredit that user's point, which is that Schumann was an amateur until his Opus 14.
I'm pretty sure Schumann thought the same in his 30s and 40s.
You and some friends are having a discussion about techno being edm (one of your friends doesn't agree). His argument boils down to: I'm right because I know more about music (because he listens to more music genres according to him). So you ask him what an interval is, he doesn't know.
How do you respond?
Aaron Barnes
How do you respond to the question of what an interval is or to your friend not knowing what an interval is?
In the case of the prior, why would you respond? You've made your point.
Jackson Barnes
Latter, prior, same thing.
Colton Torres
>How do you respond? You unfriend the shitstain. Plebs need to be gassed.
Joshua Walker
This is even more triggering. Feels good.
Brody Sanchez
It's popular because it was what he working on when he died so everyone knows it for that.
Henry Edwards
Are you a bad enough man to use a grand piano as the continuo instrument to perform the Brandenburgs?
So I'm depressed, Sup Forums. Real life has mostly been a bitch, from early bullying to a life full of failures, and I'm in one of those days where it's hitting me. That being said, what would you recommend for uplifting early music? I know, I should become an hero, kms, all those nice memes that Sup Forums always have for disgraces like me; but if you have it in your soul to feel at least a little bit of compassion to a fellow /classical/ listener, share with me what you listen when you need to feel better. I mostly listen to baroque music, some classic and romantic here and there, so that's my preferred frame of reference, but if you have anything from either before or after I don't mind. Have a nice day.
