>The White Mass is closely related to its predecessor, the sixth sonata. Both works were written in 1911–12 and have structurally and stylistically more in common than any other pair of Scriabin sonatas. Scriabin reportedly feared the sixth sonata, considering the work to be corrupted by demonic forces and going so far as to refuse to play the work in public. Scriabin composed his seventh sonata as an exorcism against the darkness of the sixth sonata, subtitling the work White Mass in order to reflect its celestial nature. He intended the mood of the piece to be ecstatic, evoking images of winged flight, voluptuous rapture and overwhelming forces.

Got a mate at music college who learned all of Ravel's piano works in one year to get one of their grants they give for being awesome and he got it, then the next year he did the same with Scriabin. He's awesome and introduced me to loads of cool music and I miss him. He has a bad track record with pigeons but I still love him and hope he's doing alright.
Cooper Adams
You absolute fucking pleb, I hope you were ironic!
No but he was close I guess, he stretched romantic tonality as far as it could go I think.
Colton Jones
Hello, I am relatively new to listening to classical and I don't really know how to approach it. I really like Die Kunst der Fuge (as play by Tachezi) and Georg Friedrich Haas' Limited Approximations.
Can you rec me some modern, relatively atmospheric/atonal solo cello or cello dominated pieces?
Michael Nguyen
Yikes!
Jayden Harris
We can all agree that Chopin's 4th Ballade and Rachmaninoff's 2nd piano sonata are actually good, right?
Luis Barnes
Oh come on, don't discourage me. I really have no idea how to approach (as in look for) classical music, it's obviously very different from pop music, but I saw a video of some guy playing cello and was wondering whether /classical/ could help me. And yes, those two are just things I read about while lurking on this board and actually liked.
Ethan Brooks

Charles Morales
in 2014 i downloaded some scriabin midi files and dropped them into logic and changed the instruments around. also added "automatic drums" track consider this a low-effort homage to switched on bach clyp.it/0vry3jfn
Adam Perry
Very entry level but give Bach's Cello Suites a listen maybe? I think they can be quite atmospheric, I guess. Rostropovich's recording would be a good starting point.
Jordan Murphy
I will, thank you.
Hunter Evans
Oh shit, sorry. You wanted modern. I don't do modern, I'm still getting there. Benjamin Britten's cello suites are the farthest I came, they're from the 60s/70s so I guess it's relatively modern. Again, Rostropovich...
Sorry, I'm still quite entry level myself.
Nathan Young
I'll take that. I liked Britten's violin concertos.
Eli Peterson

fuck i forgot about the caption
Mason Lee

Daniel Robinson
Daily reminder that the chromatic scale so closely approximates the primary members of the overtone series that not even microtones can save us from the protracted musical stagnation that started at the midpoint of the 20th century.
Music for this feel?
Protip: There isn''t any because I've already heard it.
Jackson Butler
I love you user

This but
>inb4 Poly posts some tacky popist extended technique bullshit as a refutation
Mason Cooper
>implying either of you are able to satisfactorily comprehend even one (1) of the great composers of history The problem is not that there's not enough exciting, complex and beautiful music, but too much.
Kayden Diaz
I didn't say there wasn't anything to listen to dummy. But the availability of fundamentally new musical paradigms (emphasis on MUSICAL) is quickly drying up.
Adrian Rivera
Listen to birdsongs in your city, they evolve as the world around them evolves. Their mimicry of hip-hop beats and traffic noises is weirdly unsettling.
Leo Morris
>I really have no idea how to approach (as in look for) classical music try listening to it, stupid
Nathaniel Hughes
>But the availability of fundamentally new musical paradigms (emphasis on MUSICAL) is quickly drying up. Incorrect. New things are always in short supply. There is always only a small amount of legitimately "new" things happening. Every 100 years there's a burst of new-ness, but in between its just the usual - a few innovators who aren't well known in their lifetimes.
Benjamin Peterson
>oh wow this Muhly guy is a genius! Reggae in classical? Who could have thought of that!
Sorry, all that's left is various stylistic permutations that might be good for a chuckle at best.
Jack Hughes
But I was talking about birdsongs...
Juan Torres
I honestly had trouble figuring out why you quoted me in the first place.
best composers weren't catholic anyway, so who cares
Eli Lopez
Which composers used opium the most or drank the most? I know Beethoven loved wine but I'm sure some Romantic composers were total druggies.
Oliver Morales
>Mozart >intellectual
Not all geniuses are intellectuals
Landon Reyes
why would you post such a slow recording?
Nicholas Watson
I was listening to an archival recording of Symphony number 7 online and I turned it off because I there was more audible audience than music at times
Landon Carter
Kurt Weill isn't classical Arthur Sullivan isn't classical Karlheinz Stockhausen isn't classical John Cage isn't classical Moondog isn't classical Conlon Nancarrow isn't classical Frank Zappa isn't classical
Liam Perry
It looks like the one I listened to first was removed. I just remembered it being long as fuck
Jose Reed
>implying Zappa's symphonic works arent classical
Chase Garcia
they aren't tho. They are prog with an orchestra. Also I rolled dubs so I am right.
Nathaniel Long
Have you heard the LSO records. Theyre not amazing but they're symphonic straight. Yhere isn't any guitars or anything, I think he overdubbed in drums but still. Listen to it
Guys so I am listening to Bach's Solo Cello Suites, and I don't get them. They don't develop all that much, and most of the cadences end in a very similar manner. Idk but it's just not as engaging as his other stuff I have listened to so far. What am I doing wrong?
Cooper Lee
Hows it prog retard. I bet you havent even listened to it
Jordan Turner
Anyone know any good late Romantic/Early 20th Century stuff similar to The Planets?
Andrew Smith
I'm only saying that because I did. I listened to something that was literally Uncle Meat for orchestra.
Charles Fisher
as someone who isn't racist, my only question is how can someone reasonably articulate dedicate 9 months to this idiotic project?
Mason Roberts
If you like The Planets then you are beyond hope
Daniel Turner
Go on a walk at night with them Mahler's symphonies probably
Juan Allen
he's obviously trying to con the stupider dindus into giving him money
Ian Hill
Berlioz took opium.
All of those are false but the last one
Logan Allen
>Mahler's symphonies probably The Planet's really isn't comparable to Mahler's work.
They are the absolute worst "classical" ever made. Only technically classical because they're written down in a score and played by classical musicians. In every other way they are pure trash
Dominic Miller
Which album was that? I think your referring to Bogus Pump. Did you hear the rest of the album
stop posting English composers. They aren't even good when they hail from Germany
Tyler Wood
You're just saying that because you've seen other people say it. Elgar and Britten clearly prove your assertion wrong, I willing to bet you've listened to neither of them.
>want to get into more classical >have no idea where to start as the downloads are 50GB
Liam Ortiz
Start anywhere. A lot of people start with Beethoven - just grab something that gets you into it and keep listening.
It honestly doesn't matter what gets you started. Here's an old chart if you need a guideline.
Isaac Garcia
You could try compressed audio formats such as MP3s
Aiden Lewis
>Posting Clinically Lobotomized Trylobytes charts
Tyler Torres
unironically "best of bach" > "best of mozart" > "best of beethoven", 2 hour long videos on youtube
Ryder Edwards
What are the best ones from that first general folder?
Cameron Wright
Whatever gets people on the path. Everyone's tastes end up being completely different by the end of it anyway. Hell, I got started on fucking Scaruffi recommendations and I think back on how retarded those were.
Lincoln Hall
Grab the Leibowitz Beethoven set. Good interpretations, good sound, and good for beginners
