Such a cheesy and over-the-top reading, but fuck me if this isn't the first Pathétique that has made me feel something in a long, long time. Very good, overall. Visceral. Perhaps a bit too much so for its own good, but Currentzis continues to establish himself as probably one of the most original conductors to have come out in years. Making this absurdly over-played repertoire sound new again - that's something.
POWER RANKING OF STRING QUARTET SETS (More than 1)
1. Beethoven 2. Schubert 3. Bartok 4. Borodin 5. Ives
power gap
99999. Mozart (underrated, and couldn't properly rate since I am a brainlet, shit composer though)

Symphony 6 is greatest Romantic finale of all time, I can't think of a better way to close the era of Wagner, Schumann, and Liszt than Op. 74. Tchaikovsky, even with all his faults, is an incredible musician.
Do you prefer to listen with headphones or speakers? What is your setup?
Ethan Flores
I may be retarded, but what exactly is that distinguishes music from baroque to classical to romantic to modern? Is it just time period? Or are there specific musical features I can listen out for?
>tfw too smart to pretend to like classical yet i like ambient how
Dylan Brown
too much of a turbo brainlet to understand you're not smart
Owen Kelly
Just as bad as it was last thread
>Shitty version of tonal music >Welp now I'll play the inside of the piano badly
Josiah Edwards
10/10
Nathan Long
>pretend Exactly. When you're smart you don't need to pretend, you can explain exactly why you like classical and usually convince people to check it out
That percussive part was so shit holy fuck Italians need to fuck off
Owen Jones
They make me wanna listen to Webern
Julian Turner
concerto 6's larghetto 01:04:20 was pretty cool
Liam White
Why is there such an astouding similarity between Janacek's second quartet, Bartók fifth string quartet, and most of Schönberg's works?

BASED Currentzis, is there a better conductor going now?
Kayden Clark
usually headphones but I can't listen to Renaissance music unless its speakers

Obviously the thing user posted upthread is gorgeous, but I'd agree there's a lot of rote stuff in the piano sonatas. Then again, dude wasn't necessarily focused there. Reading back from your Liszts and Beethovens and expecting solo piano to be the heart and soul of someone's creative career doesn't make sense. Probably a bunch of that stuff was just filling time while he wrote an opera or a concerto.
I was going through the book Harmony and Voice Leading by Aldwell and Schachter, and wanted to try writing a cantus firmus and make its first species counterpoint.
There are a few things I'd like to know: 1. if it's possible for a counterpoint to make movements like in the bars 2 - 6 2. if it's possible for a counterpoint to make two consecutive leaps like that in the bars below the second C.
Aside from that I've tried to follow every rule from the first species counterpoint part.

treble cleff is counterpoint bass cleff is the cantus firmus

fuck my autism bros

They released this new device that can instantly tell other people that you're alt-right and you frogpost here.
Jaxson Davis
Just tell her that it wasn't, and then tell her that she's a great teacher and you want to learn a lot.

Thanks, bro.

Why do you think that it's so bad? I truly want to know, I'm not pretending to tell you to like him.
What is the best concert line-up that you've been to?

How do you know what to look for when deciding which performer to listen to /classical/? Do you just sample a bunch of different ones then settle on one? I'm autistically browsing discogs comparing different releases but I have no idea what I'm looking for.
Michael Hall
For the first listens of a piece, the performer matters very little. Beyond that, it depends on research and taste. For instance, I prefer the Alban Berg Quartet's interpretations of Schubert to the Emerson Quartet. Now, when I am looking for a performance of a piece I check if the Berg Quartet has done it.
Its just shit compared to any half decent tonal composer. The chord progression is limited in its movement and limited in its emotional content. The rhythmic element is ok, but a few syncopations aren't going to make up for the lack of harmonic and melodic content.
tonal music has dissonance. The music was shitty because it didn't have good chords, melody or harmony.
Bartok is excellent. He straddles tonal and atonal - often working in system called "bimodal" - playing in 2 different modes at the same time.
