of course, feldman most jewish looking composer out there

>The main theme of the second movement [in Schubert's 2nd piano trio] was used as one of the central musical themes in Stanley Kubrick's 1975 film Barry Lyndon. It has also been used in a number of other films, including... Dear White People How will CLT ever recover?
Dylan Scott
I forgot about Reich and Glass. I just looked it up and I never knew Ligeti was a jew. It looks like there are more 20th century standards composers/writers that are Jewish than other composers.
Obviously you can't solely go off google but there are 50 listed and only 9 died before 1900
also whats your guy's take on John Zorn (on the topic of Jewish composers)
I'll check that out, thanks :)
Chase Rogers
Zorn isn't worth the time, but if someone else finds his music interesting then good for them.
Mason Diaz
I used to love him, but if I'm being honest he's been pissing me off lately. I think his biggest insult is he has 6 albums a year and they are basically the same thing over and over. Plus I think it's gimmicky to call yourself a composer and have album after album where you don't actually write any real music and leave the performers to play the music and come up with it
I can see on occasion or for the experiment to push your boundaries, but it's kind of bullshit. Plus all the genres he dabbles in, post 1990, feel like watered down versions of their respected genre

>be in shitty amateur quartet with 2 Tracys >class concert coming up >we don't even have a permanent cellist >ask if they wanna play 1st movement of borodin's 2nd SQ, which lasts 8 minutes >"but it's too long :(" said 2nd violinist I don't think they even like classical music, let alone know that string quartet is a genre. Only reason I haven't quit is because in my country I am at last year of "high school" and they are the only other string players in the class. The rest of the class are into pop meme shit. It's such a shame because being in an actual string quartet is the most amazing experience. Once that fucking 2nd violinist brought warm lunch to the practice session, so we had to wait for her to eat then spend our actual lunch time practicing. She even dared asking me if we could switch 1st and 2nd because she is just that dumb (I am clearly the best string player of us). Hopefully when I begin at a real music school I get to meet other people who are interested in music. How was your high school music experience, guys?
Brody Rogers
i play piano so i got to play solo pieces i also played the bass in my school's jazz band which was very fun and was probably the only time in my life where i felt i had a purpose
Samuel Morgan

>also whats your guy's take on John Zorn at his best he's very good
Besides all the already named, Michael Nyman is of Jewish origin too. I don't think he is religiously Jewish, or even culturally, tho.
Josiah Richardson
Why are Jewish women so God damn beautiful, guys? Why does Satan do this to me?
Jordan Foster
I truly believe is because the men make them that way to distract us Goys. But yeah, I also probably just have a Jewish fetish along side my British one
I think you're linking looks with religious belief / nationality / ethnicity when really you shouldn't They are as beautiful and hideous as any other religion / nationality / ethnicity.
Try to stay on topic. This is /classical/. Post classical or get out
Hey, everyone, I'm an absolute newfag to /classical/, to be completely honest. Where should I start? I've noticed the Mega folders, should I just start listening from the first one onwards? What happened to General Folder #2? Also, do you consider mastering music theory important or fundamental in any way to appreciate classical music? If so, are the books contained within those folders enough? I have an intermediate level of music theory knowledge. Thanks for your patience.
Austin Martinez
I somewhat disagree. Jewish people have made some good music, in terms of their folk music. And some if the scales they use are really interesting sounding. Which pertains to classical music
>I'm an absolute newfag to /classical/ Everyday on Sup Forums there's about ten anons asking how to get into classical. Someone should add a section in the OP for this. Not me, I'm lazy.
Luke Kelly
I used to just give them the old CLT image, but I lost it
Lincoln Hernandez
Also, General Folder #2: >General Folder #2. Mostly Romantic up to 20th century/modern, but also includes recordings of music by Bach, Mozart and others mega.co.nz/#F!lIh3GRpY!piUs-QdhZACFt2hGtX39Rw disappeared from the OP because the link is not valid. Someone should update it.
Logan Wright
they can just google it instead of looking to be spoon fed the official red pill approved recommendations
Logan Cox
I don't think the person who maintained that mega is around anymore, because it was pointed out for a few threads until I removed it.
Asher Collins
Found this
Christopher Fisher
...and this.
Henry Campbell
del
Jaxson Roberts
Fine.
Ryder Reed
i'm sorry

You don't have to be. I understand. I deleted them myself. Have a nice day.
Daniel Rogers
Here is how I did it Beethoven -> Mozart -> Handel+bach+vivaldi -> random composers
Listen to the most famous tunes and watch related movies like Amadeus and try to find the soundtrack again on youtube. Browse /classical/ and listen to the links posted.
Look up Erwin Schulhoff, I like his trio for bass, viola and flute. His career was sadly cut short by hitler’s ovens
Juan Martinez
>voicing of piano hammers manually with tiny needle instead of replacing the hammer with standardized material of choice. are tuners larping as 19th century craftsmen?
Ryder Lopez
My country has a national classical radio station. Should I listen to it or is radio as bad for classical music as it is for other genres?
Ian Stewart
Depends, Britain has two, one is shit the other is pretty good. But you are better off just browsing youtube usually.
What do you anons enjoy the most about classical music? I've been listening to a lot lately, and while I enjoy some, most don't appeal much to me. Maybe I focus too much on rhythm and tempo? I noticed a lot of players will start at a normal tempo and slow down in the middle of it, and speed back up, repeatedly; and it's in places that don't seem to make much sense either, instead of at the end, or during a climax. Is this in the piece itself, or are the notes difficult to follow after one another, or the musician's own inflection on it?
usually it's the musician's own choice. it's called "rubato" and some performers do too much
Jack Perry
> Mahler was Jewish
Jayden Barnes
How can you not know, his music is all about being a jew
Ryder Foster
What I enjoy the most is when operas and symphonies and whatever just fucking blast you with intensity and volume. There is no other place you can access those emotions other than a really great piece at it's peak.

stupid, irrelevant frogposter
Cameron Jackson
There is nothing wrong with what I said.
Eli Johnson
You don't think that's a very surface-level way of appreciating music?
>irrelevant Certainly no more than you. Heck, I have my own page on IMDb! ;^) What about you, what would make you relevant?
Ayden Johnson
have you guys seen The Pianist?
Nathan Carter
>You don't think that's a very surface-level way of appreciating music? No? Why would it be? I don't have to ramble on about music theory and be pretentious to describe what I like best. I like the emotional peaks of long pieces, I like it when the dynamics are loud and it cuts through all the intellectuality and cuts right to the heart. I like the intricacies and subtlety of classical music too but I would be lying if I said that was what I liked best. I'm not here to impress people on the internet with how advanced my tastes are or anything, I like when the whole orchestra and the singer (if there is one) is giving it all in the emotional peak of the performance. That's what I like best, and that was the question. I also occasionally eat fast food, too. I guess I am a pleb, then.
I can't really explain why. I mean I like how it can change when playing. one minute you could be playing in 4/4 then the piece can change to 3/4/ or 6/8 and you just have to be prepared. it can also start at a b flat concert scale and the piece can just change it up to a c concert scale. Not to mention how the pace can change.
