Just getting into solo piano.
So far my favorites are Chopin, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Scriabn, and Prokofiev (who I dislike). In that order.
Who else should I listen to? And what the fuck is wrong my preference for Tchaikovsky over both Rachmaninov and Scriabin? Isn't that all wrong?

>Isn't that all wrong?
wrong in what sense? is it wrong to enjoy things?
>Who else should I listen to?
Debussy, Ravel, Satie's nocturnes
Idk isn't tchaikovskys sp supposed to be if infinitely inferior to someone like Rachmaninov
And thanks for recs. Can't quite get into Debussy outside of Claire de lune.
>isn't tchaikovskys sp supposed to be if infinitely inferior to someone like Rachmaninov
huh, no. it's rather the other way around
>Can't quite get into Debussy outside of Claire de lune.
perhaps start with the Suite?
youtube.com
In terms of solo piano material? I think most people don't even know Tchaikovsky composed for SP, let alone thinking he's superior to Rachmaninov, in that regard.
honestly, I don't give a rat's ass about what anyone thinks
...
This suite is fairly decent thus far.
It's not really mind blowing stuff for me though. I don't know why.
Actually it's getting better
Meh, try this one. youtube.com
I don't get it
check kill yourself quick starter pack
Better... but it just feels so floaty.
Chopin does floaty, for instance, but there's always an essence of melancholy to his work. I just feel as though Debussy generally lacks that depth. It's like the music is tailored more towards a girl readying herself for a date with a prince or something. Idk.
>Debussy generally lacks that depth
Yes, it was just a pretty rec. Give this a shot - youtube.com
How do you like this? It's not as complex as most of his work but it's solo piano. I think it's on spotify.
Jean and Aino is my favorite.
Unlike anyone you've listened to so far, Debussy is an early modern composer, he was one of the revolutionaries who fathered the modernity.
>Debussy generally lacks that depth
For me depth is not necessarily romantic pathos, an act of contemplation has its own depth, often more than pompous tragedy, it's simply not obvious to people who are accustomed to emotional excess.
Nothing beats Chopin OP, you've already experienced the best
>For me depth is not necessarily romantic pathos
True. I don't think anyone denies that.
>an act of contemplation has its own depth, often more than pompous tragedy, it's simply not obvious to people who are accustomed to emotional excess.
It does to some extent but whether as perception or as reflection, contemplation doesn't reach the depths of understanding or tragedy proper. It's simply not obvious to people who are accustomed to justifying their own preferences regardless of merit.
Check out the works of Grieg.
youtube.com
I don't understand.
lol
>contemplation doesn't reach the depths of understanding or tragedy proper.
It never tries to, they exist in different domains. Contemplation belongs to music, tragedy to theatre.
Op here and I don't even know what's going on
Going to listen to the Grieg rec
>It never tries to
Never said it does.
>Contemplation belongs to music, tragedy to theatre.
Both have musical representations.
Grieg is p spicy. Way better than that faggot cunt talentless hack deboipussy
Tbqh yet to see anything that would challenge this.
I've delved extensively into his work and it's virtually all just flawless.
Too contemporary
Also not solo piano.
I can't do this
It just keeps rambling on and on. It's the kind of solo piano I actually just can't listen to for any extended period of time, let alone enjoy.
LISZT
I
S
Z
T
youtube.com
Promising thus far
Also, to elaborate on this: this is the kind of music people kill themsleves to
Where's the lie tho
Okay, there were some slower parts, but this overall was superb
art tatum, liszt
What did he mean by this
Art tatum was a famous jazz pianist known for virtuoso technique, Liszt is famous for his Hungarian rhapsodies and other solo piano stuff. I recommend their music to you.
I don't want no jazz piano tf man
Idk what to tell you about Debussy OP. Try his etudes, but I guess he really isn't for you.
youtube.com
Imo if you really want to see what Debussy can do you have to go outside piano music, his string quartet and La Mer are unparalleled
Listening to more Grieg rn. Will try it out
But yeah, outside of what you already like, I can second Liszt and Ravel
youtube.com
youtube.com
Here have an underrated Rachmaninov (variation 6 is one of my favorite things for piano 3:37)
youtube.com
I changed my mind, have two. Early Rach is underrated in general Imo
youtube.com

>Idk isn't tchaikovskys sp supposed to be if infinitely inferior to someone like Rachmaninov
lmao
Just in terms of piano solo dude
It's not wrong, just odd. Tchaikovsky wasn't a particularly prominent pianist, so his solo piano output is not only more limited, but less dense.
What do you like of his sp works, anything in particular?
To say something you could try Gaspard de la Nuit by Ravel, or the suite Goyescas by Enrique Granados, but i'm just throwing them there to contribute anything to be fair.
Dumka, June, valse sentimantales, chant elegiaque, to name a few
And I will add those to my playlist
Lol get out CLT-senpai
kek

Also CLT told me about griegs quartet
And holy FUCK
PLASTIC BOTTLES ARE TURNING ANONS GAY!
The number of Debussy fanboys ITT being a testament to that
Borodins and Francks are superior, but Griegs is good as well
I'm so impressed with Grieg everything
Why the fuck didn't you faggots say Grieg to begin with. I think literally one person even mentioned him
always finish on the Bach never on Debussy
holy fuck
This comment is legendary
Sup Forums help this is too good fuckkkkkk m.youtube.com
this easily rivals Chopin
This is now a grieg thread
Post your rare griegs
