John Cage, I guess. I don't really despise him, just not a fan

>Leonid Ilich Brezhnev was a great connoisseur of Moria’s work. He even invited a French guest to the Kremlin. This meeting made an indelible impression on the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, he was so fond of this composer until the end of his days. They say that often when listening to the melody of Moria on the cheeks of the general secretary, tears streamed. I do not know, I personally was not acquainted with him
Why is Brezhnev in the OP? If anyone should be blacklisting, it should be Stalin. Brezhnev was too busy invading Afghanistan and being senile to care about blacklisting composers.
Whats the best recording of Mozarts Symphony No. 41?

Don't just post "depends" without telling me how it depends, user.

Gilbert and Sullivan is a cool introduction because you can understand the words and they're all like an hour long. After this move on to Mozart,
A lot of modern English opera can be a cool starting point. Check out Menotti's The Telephone or Adams' Nixon in China.
Bentley Lopez
Depens a lot of things, which are much important
Mason Murphy
Lehar's Lustige Witwe, Mozart's Don Giovanni, Zimmermann's Die Soldaten, Adams' Death of Klinghoffer, Weill's Der Protagonist, Hindemith's Neues vom Tage are all good starting places.

Kayden Young
Why do you guys keep naming legitimately good composers. At least say Debussy
Zachary Ortiz
Arvo Part and Carl Orff are both terrible, but I don't know if any classical scholar takes them seriously
Bartok isn't bad but a lot of his music seems really amateurish, like an exceptionally good student work.
Liam Evans
There's not much to into. He's a hack.

Hey My computer updated while I was at work :( I found a qt blonde opera singer. I think her name started with a D. I found her though a RYM Stravinsky album, not his own conducting but anothers. She was maybe Swedish. Does anyone know her? Or any idea what I'm talking about

>Mozart in God tier with 12 tone and early electronic music >Beethoven in Great tier, but worst of all same tier as Cage and Satie >Brahms in Good tier >Glass in Good tier >Lizst below Glass >Wagner not in God tier The "can't into /classical/, high school soyboy" is strong with this one.

Why's everyone too much of a brainlet here in terms of appreciating 20th century classical? This thread doesn't deserve to be called /classical/ it should be called /common practice/ instead because the only appreciation you have attained for the music is what sounds immediately pleasant or what your entry level Music Theory class professor taught you.
Ethan Thompson
Maurice Ravel

Gavin Campbell
But I'm not a brainlet! Just yesterday I was at a contemporary classical concert. Now please give me (You)s. Have you listened to any Georges Lentz?
Xavier James
I'm actually astounded that the names Ravel and Brahms have come up more than once.
Benjamin White
Is there a composer whose mission statement is to make accessible (maybe even kitschy) music composed using the twelve tone method? That's more or less how I feel the apotheosis of music can be achieved
Carson Hill
It's because most people here learn about classical music in school, from older professors with little understanding of contemporary music.
Zachary Robinson
>Georges Lentz
hmm, seems like a pretty decent composer. Thanks

>the classical music world objectively depreciates over the course of the 20th century and by the 21st its really a withered husk unrecognizable from the great artform to which it was once heir to >REEEEEE WHY WON'T YOU STAY ON MY SINKING SHIP WITH ME
for real though, 20th and 21st century music is heavily propagandized in university under the guise of cultural relativism so your argument about entry level music theory actually reflects more on your argument than the strawman one you put in /classical/'s mouth.
