I want to get into classical music, but I'm not sure where to start. What are some good recommendations for the different 'sub-genres', if you will, in classical music? Thanks.

Paganini's Caprice no. 24... This guy, in my opinion, was METAL before metal. He can play the violin so well that it sounds like a feverish energy.

I love Wagner's overtures and preludes. When the opera singing starts, I am no longer singing. I don't know anything about classical music but I also have no interest in solo tinkling piano. I like Wagner because of the bigness and the seamlessness of his music. Maybe it is violin. Something about it is organic. It's annoying though since most of his stuff is opera.
Anyone know anything similar to what I am attempting to describe.
Caleb Taylor
Thanks, will check your suggestions out once I have more time!
Jason Jones
maybe listen to rachmaninoff's 2nd symphony
Gavin Smith
Try Bruckner's symphonies and the tone poems of Liszt and Richard Strauss.
Daniel Torres

God, why was he so ugly? Yuck.

Because he was beautiful inside. No wait, he literally compared himself to Nero and performing musicians to insects. Great composer though.

>Symphony of Psalms
>Ebony Concerto

>Symphony in C
>Firebird
>Petrushka (Suite)

But Beethoven's 7th symphony is his best and Dvorak's New World Symphony is awesome too.
Landon Perry

Th 8th is much better, but only a few conductors know how to pull it off: Scherchen, Leibowitz, de Sabata and Immerseel.

Sounds good. What have you been listening to? I've been digging through recordings of Liszt's pupils, will anyone ever be more GOAT than Rosenthal?
Robert Lopez

Sorry for having different favorites from you

Lots of Bach cantatas (Harnoncourt/Leonhardt), Edwin Fischer playing Mozart and Nicki Minaj.
I've also started introducing my professors to Desormiere, Scherchen and Leibowitz.

Does he have much recorded besides his GOAT Pelleas et Melisande?
desu I haven't even been listening to much music recently, I've started trying to get more into literature. Currently reading the Iliad and Brave New World.
Gavin Rivera
I also meant to add, what has /classical/ been reading?
Juan Johnson
Quite a bit. A GOAT La Mer, early Boulez and some other stuff.
I've mostly been reading for classes - lot's of anthropology lateley. But I have plans to continue reading and excerpting the Phenomenology of Spirit this summer.
Bentley Lopez
I'm also a certified French reader as of this quarter so I'll buy some Rousseau and Voltaire to stay fit/get better.
Gavin Cruz
I think I've only shitposted so far ITT so I'll shill some William Grant Still. Neat composer, hopefully he'll be properly revived and get some good recordings.

>tfw no full recording of Stokowski conducting this symphony
I wonder if Beckett is better in French, I'm a victim of American public education so I can't speak another language worth shit, nor do I have a decent understanding of basic works of the canon.

This is a great version of Carmina Burana!

Disgusting, lnyd. I expected better. Of course, the Marxism is also disgusting, but I expected that from a degenerate academic.
Did you also re-evaluate the Harnoncourt cycle after his death? I was always a bit dismissive of it, but wrongly so, I think. It's a lot better than its reputation.
Well, technically the Ring is about a female getting cucked.
She gets cucked so hard that she burns everyone alive.
Benjamin Ramirez
I did write out a response about why cucking isn't the central plot point of the Ring, but in the process of writing it out I realised that many things can be tied back to Fricka getting angry that Wotan cucked her. And whilst there is some slight anti-cuckery (like Alberich being a sort of MGTOW stand-in) it doesn't seem to balance it out.
But anyway, cucking is a fairly central plot point of a huge chunk of literature/theatre/opera, so it shouldn't be that surprising.
Ian Moore
Alright /classical/, what is the best individual piece by each of the following composers:
>Bach
>Mozart
>Beethoven
William Stewart
I'm looking for some Chopin. I know some of his pieces and enjoy them, but haven't heard too much. What should I check out?
Jackson Cook
Nothing in common between both composers, m8.
Janacek is amazing in his own right tho, but Bartók is THE composer of the 20th century.
Angel James
This, Weill was a fucking genius ;_____;
Hunter Reed
It is. I know several plebs who dislike Satie.
To me, his real masterworks are his Nocturnes.
Here, have a listen.
youtube.com
Incredibly nostalgic pieces.
Austin Rogers
The Preludes are a great starting point:
youtube.com
Then you can move to the etudes, waltzes and nocturnes.
Finally, you can enjoy the fucking ballades, including THE magnus opus, Ballade No. 4 in F minor.
Landon Butler
Why is there no /classical/ general anymore?
John Taylor
It always comes back.
Brandon Butler
Brandon Garcia
I like Wagner are some other good degenerate music to listen too? I'm getting into Hans Pfitzner.
Jason Rivera
His opera Palestrina is great. Not sure the connection but perhaps Florent Schmitt's Seventh Seal or Karol Szymanowski's King Roger
Elijah Ward
What's the best leitmotif in Tristan? I think when "Tristan's Honour" first comes in… I think its first appearance is when Tristan first comes out to meet Isolde in act 1. Obviously everything related to the prelude…
youtube.com
Christopher Fisher
So is this the makeshift /classical/ general for now?
