post yr fav beethoven string quartet
youtube.com
btw I just chose von Weber because I like the pic, not because it is related to string quartets. What a sexy beast he was.
What instrument would you choose if you could go back?

Weill (good string quartet)
youtube.com
is dvorak just a meme? never see him posted on /classical/ but his stuff is always in my recommended videos when I listen to classical stuff on yt
youtube.com
Bassoon if I can ignore the reality that it was never affordable for my parents.
>thinks something might be a meme because it's not posted on Sup Forums
You've spent too much time here, your thinking is all backwards.
lol. gotta give it to you, that was a good one.
my favorite string quartet from someone other than 'thoven
oboe
t. saxophonefag who will never get to play in an orchestra
I think I'd go with Viola, but I'm a manlet so I'm not sure I'd have the armspan for it.
>going from the butt of every orchestra joke to the other butt of every orchestra joke
nice, viola would be my 3rd or 4th pick (after bassoon and maybe piccolo)
W-What kind of jokes? It better not just be "they can't play our music lmao"
It is, also saxophone is the easiest woodwind instrument and (with the exception of bari sax low A) ties with oboe with the smallest range
Did the mods utosage the last thread? Seemed like it just disappeared rather abruptly. Not that I blame them, given the stupid prompt
that's strange actually that he didn't write a String Quartet
nah it hit bump limit
This right here? This is what is wrong with the world
>stupid prompt
>wanting to discuss American music
>autists get mad whenever they see an image of Trump
I take zero blame for anything bad last thread.
I know all about the range. In high school I used to make what was probably a very autistic point of playing in the altissimo register when it was uncalled for. And I agree the instrument has a very tiny learning curve, but even at university a lot of us still suffer from tone quality problems.
Why was Manuel de Falla so based?
>In high school I used to make what was probably a very autistic point of playing in the altissimo register
I don't blame you. Fucking around with trash high school band music was the best part about trash high school band music.
Cello but it's too expensive and I probably would've quit anyways like I did with trumpet
oboe/bassoon
t. every violinist who struggles to get into their favourite orchestra because they are mere expendables
I'm working my way through Rihm's quartets, I'm only on the first volume so far. The first couple were kinda ehh serial things, but 3 and 4 are amazing. I can tell I'm gonna have a ball listening to the rest of these things.
Here's a playlist: youtube.com
Anything that isn't a picture of a composer, performer a classical album cover, an ensemble, a venue or an instrument is just tasteless
>Saxophone
>easier than recorder
surely not
What you see in this image is the entire Russian Flowers tanayev Quartet CD issue of the Myaskovsky String Quartet cycle . Each flac file is a full cd rip and they are all on the .cue file...
I can pop that on ,lay on the couch and listen to all 13 of his string quartets end to end
isn't bassoon really hard to learn
every instrument besides memes like piano, vocals and percussion takes skill and effort to play
I think I might have liked trumpet
>extremely versatile
>easy to transport and hold
>mechanically simple
Though I suppose playing the wrong overtone every fifth note gets tiring
Yes, there's a reason I'd want the viola over violin
Yeah some of the pieces I enjoyed were marches, probably because that's all bands are good for.
True but recorders at least force you to cover holes exactly with your fingers, while saxophones do not. I was talking about the main instruments anyway (transverse flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, saxophone). Obviously more niche stuff like ocarinas, pan flutes, etc are easier.
better not neglect the Villa Lobos string quartets,user.
yeah I wouldn't bring up those but there is quite a bit of repertoire from the 1600s for recorder
>Debussy: Sonata for Flute Harp and Violin
Why? It sounds like the background music to an episode of Ironside

Why is the shape of the tubing on the french horn so convoluted?

its a high definition recording from AIX performed by the Chamber Music Palisades

I downloaded it when I was giving HD audio a try.
>t. every violinist who struggles to get into their favourite orchestra because they are mere expendables
why expendable? because a huge supply over limited demand?
why does the gui look so 1997? regardless, that's pretty damn great
I'm not a regular in these threads or anything, but I just wanted to share that as I was scrolling past this thread, I thought the guy in the OP's thumbnail was Spike Spiegel.
Ok, that's it. Carry on.
beautiful
had a friend who loved the violin and resented having to play the bassoon to join an orchestra
Really? His hair is not bushy enough to be Spike
Well, I was looking out of the corner of my eye.
well I guess everyone just agrees that this is indeed the best and fav of all patricians
XP set to best performance
gotcha.
here's another good one:

15 is better.
close call for me. no doubt 15 is up there with it

agreed. And Trout Quintet is pretty meh honestly. Overrated as fuck.
Two Radulescu quartets. I posted #5 in that "avant garde" thread today, I swear I wasn't trying to show off my e-peen. This was very enjoyable.
youtube.com
youtube.com
what's up with the score on the second vid bruh. looks like an indie rock poster
Luigi Nono
youtube.com
Shostakovich
youtube.com
Yep, that's Radulescu for you. The score goes minute by minute, each frame is divided into 15-second "measures". Each line in each part is one of the strings of the instrument (in alternate tunings, obviously), and each symbol on the line is telling you to do something wacky on that string. It's like tabs, but instead of just playing the note you do a weird scratchy sound. Throw in some more weird symbols and some kind of 3D axis thing and there you have it.
Aw, I like that one. It's so happy and peaceful. You can't have your classical music be bombastic world-ending drama all the time.
thank me later
I'm sorry I'l never do it again
I so wanted the Vagn Holmboe sq cycle to blow me away becasue there are so many... it just took me out into the bleak snowfields and left me to wander lost and alone..
nah, I'm not a Minorfag or anything, I just find its lacking in motivic material.

you will leeesten and hear... forever and ever ..ahahahahha
off topic but what are your favorite chopin recordings?
listening to pollini's recordings of his etudes/preludes made me realize i need to hear more of his stuff
Y'all know this one I hope
youtube.com
I meant those Opus ones. Youtube has region-locked that service for some bullshit reason.
>
sorry I fail in understanding is Opus the uploader or is merely listing an op.# causing it to be blocked?
Anyone have some really good solo violin or violin concertos that aren't well known?
>VERY few people know who wrote the first string-quartet, but there is no doubting that the earliest one known to us is that written by Gregorio Allegri (1582-1652) (Hull, 1929).
Its just all the videos that are formatted like this for some reason. It doesn't matter. Obviously I don't mind if you keep posting them, I just wanted to blow off some steam and shitpost, its the Canadian way afterall.
ravel - l'enfant et les sortilèges extract
>The string quartet in its now accepted form came about with Haydn.[4] If the combination of two violins, viola and cello was not unknown before Haydn, when it occurred in chamber music it was more likely through circumstance than conscious design; certainly the string quartet enjoyed no recognized status as an ensemble in the way that two violins with basso continuo - the so-called 'trio sonata' - had for more than a hundred years. Even the composition of Haydn's earliest string quartets owed more to chance than artistic imperative.[5] During the 1750s, when the young composer was still working mainly as a teacher and violinist in Vienna, he would occasionally be invited to spend time at the nearby castle at Weinzierl of the music-loving Austrian nobleman Karl Joseph Weber, Edler von Fürnberg. There he would play chamber music in an ad hoc ensemble consisting of Fürnberg's steward, a priest and a local cellist, and when the Baron asked for some new music for the group to play, Haydn's first string quartets were born. It is not clear whether any of these works ended up in the two sets published in the mid-1760s and known as Haydn's Opp.1 and 2 ('Op.0' is a quartet included in some early editions of Op.1, and only rediscovered in the 1930s), but it seems reasonable to assume that they were at least similar in character.
Some of the most popular works for string quartet include:
>Joseph Haydn's 68 string quartets, in particular Op. 20, Op. 33, Op. 76, Op. 64, No. 5 ("The Lark") and the string quartet version of "The Seven Last Words of Our Saviour On the Cross" (Op. 51).[12]
>Luigi Boccherini's more than 90 string quartets [13]
>Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 23 string quartets, in particular the set of six dedicated to Haydn, including K. 465 ("Dissonance")[12]
>Ludwig van Beethoven's 18 string quartets, in particular the five "middle" quartets Op. 59 nos 1-3, op. 74 and op. 95 as well as the five late quartets,[14] Op. 127 in E flat major, op. 130 in B flat major, Op. 131 in C sharp minor (in seven movements), Op. 135 in F major and the Grosse Fuge in B-flat major Op. 133, the original final movement of Op. 130.
>Franz Schubert's 15 string quartets, notably his String Quartet No. 12 in C minor ("Quartettsatz"), String Quartet No. 13 in A minor ("Rosamunde"), String Quartet No. 14 in D minor ("Death and the Maiden"), and String Quartet No. 15 in G major.

wtf feldman
>von Weber
I agree. However, he did write a clarinet quintet, which is a string quartet with a clarinet added to it.
youtube.com
Yes, and a piano quartet which is why I found it odd
It's really good. Not a bad way to spend a lazy weekend afternoon, though maybe you wouldn't want to spend that whole time just listening. It's a good choice if you're reading or cooking or doing housework. Really accentuates the blandness and mediocrity of whatever you're doing at that moment.
No Patrick, Feldman is not good
what about corey feldman?
that's a lot of replies for only 18 people posting in the thread
The only good Feldman is a dead Feldman
