I was wondering what would you say are the most idiosyncratic works by composers usually thought of as being conservative. For instance Handel, Mozart, Schubert, Mendelssohn and Brahms.
James King
wtf I was listening to that exact work right now
Joseph Taylor
I can see Ravel and Debussy being compared, but how is Grieg relevant in this context?
Connor Carter
The Debussy Quartet was heavily based off the Grieg and Ravel's was more heavily inspired by Debussy's

part gypsy part n*rwegian

Blake Cooper
>The Debussy Quartet was heavily based off the Grieg Source?
>The work seems to be influenced by the style of César Franck. The result is a cyclic structure with the four movements connected by thematic material. Other influences include Borodin and Javanese gamelan music.
>The quartet is considered to be a watershed in the history of chamber music.
>Its sensuality and impressionistic tonal shifts make it a piece absolutely of its time and place while, with its cyclic structure, it constitutes a final divorce from the rules of classical harmony and points the way ahead.
>"Any sounds in any combination and in any succession are henceforth free to be used in a musical continuity," Debussy wrote. Pierre Boulez said that Debussy freed chamber music from "rigid structure, frozen rhetoric and rigid aesthetics."
>g*d obviously doesn't exist Wrong. >what would his favorite composer be? I think you meant to say: "who do you think His favorite composer is?" But it's ok, I can look past your errors, for it is human to err. Your question is a good one. Maybe Bruckner?

>God's favorite composer >a pedophile with 8 and 3/4th symphonies plus some odd choral works to his name Clearly the answer is mozzart (underrated)
If you look at the circumstances surrounding that composition its easy to sense some divine inspiration. The composer wrote all of his works in a thoroughly romantic milieu all the way into the 1940s. Furthermore the timbral elements, orchestration and manipulation of sounds seem to implicitly involve techniques pioneered by Ligeti and not fully understood until half a century later.

well it IS literally who edition

Where was that?
Cooper Lee
make the next thread about him in case I'm not online when its time for a new one.

The answer to your question is, without a doubt, Liszt.
