>literally more varied and interesting than any other type of music.
Classical uses more chords, more independent voices, more forms, more instruments than any other genre. Even just by the numbers alone its more interesting - without looking at the subjective quality of "interest in music".
Henry Campbell
>Ludwig van "Independent voices? Not one of my choices" Beethoven >good composer
Fair enough. Its not really written to be danced or sexed to these days. Maybe in the 18th century, but not so much today.
Keep it normal my friend.

hey /classical/ long-time poster here but I have a request for the brit-anons (I know you're here I see your posts about Proms)
BBC has the ballet Woolf Works available on their website for UK residents and I was wondering if you could download it and upload it here. Doesn't even have to be a permanent archive thing, I'd just like to download it and watch it since as a Burger I'll never have much of a chance.
Thanks! Would appreciate it.
Joseph Moore
looks pretty gay senpai desu
Liam Lee
well I'm not saying that I think it's good (though this is definitely the best score I ever heard by Richter), I just want to see it
the album is only a fraction of the music and of course I'd like some visuals to appreciate how the music works with the visual

I just found Rameau and I like it. Who are some other guys that wrote like this, especially on harpsichord? I'm not into classical that much, and now I'm thinking the switch to piano might be one of the primary reasons. Harpsichord sounds much tougher and more alert. youtube.com/watch?v=hnWOFTADLd4 youtube.com/watch?v=S-JD5Kv2js0
Rajmaninov is hard, but Sorajibi is the fucking devil compared with him.

Rules should never be followed blindly. Early renaissance music didn't let you use the 7th interval, let alone lots of other fun intervals. Our ears evolved and so did the musical rules.
Parallel motion is only bad in the sense that you lose independence of voices. But that isn't always what a composer wants. Composers can do whatever they like provided it sounds good to them. No one will notice the parallel fifths unless they look at the score - usually composers hide these kind of things in rich harmony or use the parallel chords as some kind of "chord melody" - its less about the interval than the sequence of intervals.
Parallel 5ths are an excellent way to make something sound like traditional european folk music, so if that's what you're aiming for, there is always an excuse for them.

I suddenly got a piece on my mind that I've completely forgotten the name of, it's usually associated with sunrises or mornings but it's not Morning Mood but the instrumentation is pretty similar. This is the melody that plays after the first or second bar, anyone knows which I'm talking about?
being able to understand if a rule has to be used and if not makes a great artist. Similar cases can be found in the Waldstein sonata and in the second movement of the Appassionata
Chase Hughes
for you, too. There's also one instance in (I believe) the second piece of op 119 that actually has been corrected by publishers until not long ago
Jacob Sullivan
The iPlayer now requires you to register to use it, as they're trying to force people to buy TV licenses. I wouldn't be surprised if someone archives all BBC4 broadcasts though.
I'll have a long around in any case, was meaning to watch it myself.
>compose almost 140 opuses >uses parallel fifths like 20 times in 50 years >this makes Beethoven a bad composer
Sure thing, pedantic pleb.
Jayden Powell
Furthermore is Mozart utterly denuded of any instances of parallel 5ths? I doubt this.
Parker Bailey
Everyone used parallel 5ths from time to time, them being the sign of a bad composer is just a stereotype that random people heard from other mediocre musicians who had a couple theory I classes.

What's the best recording of mahler's 9 and Tchaïkovsky's 6 according to /classical/? Contrarian shit with 300 views on YT not allowed
Daniel Cooper
No it doesn't, there's a little button that says "skip the sign-up process" for the moment. And even when (if) they do try to make it mandatory, I imagine it will still be pretty easy to enter fake details since they're not asking you for any sort of documentation as far as I'm aware.
The main problem is that the beeb have made it more and more difficult to download things from iplayer for general dissemination. Not impossible by any means, but it's a harder job than it was a couple of years ago.
Xavier Hughes
For Mahler 9, any one of the following is /classical/ approved >Maderna, Kubelik, Ancerl, Horenstein, Walter, Kondrashin, Rosbaud

I forgot his name yesterday so I didn't memetion him. just as Couperin came right before Rameau, Duphly came right after. (Note the first piece here, La victoire is in an early sonata form) youtu.be/JPl2RUdlco8

If they post on Sup Forums they're poseur, that's it
Elijah Hall
if they can name at least 5 live recordings in god awful sound, then they are a real classical conisseur
Levi Campbell
This post is emblematic of what I don't like about the classical general. Not that there is anything wrong with the post or the trend of this general per se but I think far too much emphasis is put on comparing recordings in ways that usually don't relate themselves to classical theory at all. I wouldn't call someone a classical connoisseur someone who has opinions on various orchestras or performers. I would call someone a connoisseur who can read the score for a piece of music and have a very good idea about what is happening and why. tl/dr I wish this board was more about understanding classical music rather than knowing a bunch of recordings
