I disagree. If i do listen to classical these days its either stravinsky or chopin
Yea, most of current pop is trash.
Makes sense, Chopin’s Nocturne are not serious pieces. You should listen to his Ballades, Concertos and Polonaises.
Stravinsky is pretty cool too. But I prefer Ravel, Schoenberg and Shostakovich when it comes to 20th century composers.
Mozart is pretty much my only source of happiness. He wrote some deeply moving pieces too. Mozart is freaking amazing.
I didn't. I'm suspicious of any female performer anyway as I suspect the media will always prop them up more than they'll do to males. I did enjoy her take on some Bach sonata (or partita, whatever), though.
classical music is a true sign of inceldom AND riceceldom. When I tell people I play piano and only listen to classical music and early jazz normies look at me with disgust and hatred like I'm going to shoot their schools.
acquired taste for some
this motherfucker was my avi for years. It brings me tears to my eyes to see a chink outplay even Kogan
I never got the hate against jazz. It’s the only genre of modern music I listen to. What do normies hate about jazz?
Lol. Can definitely relate.
STUPID FUCKS think that jazz is kenny G or some shit.
I love that entire cycle. Have you listened to La Lugubre Gondole?
Yeah, I have the same source for my classical music knowledge
I should check that out.
I don't know much. In my youth I was quite a Stanley Kubrick fan so I was familiar with the piece 'thus spoke Zarathustra' used in 2001, A space odysee, but I assume the movie only uses a small part of it and I don't think I've ever heard the whole thing.
HAHA not at all. I think you would like Ein Heldenleben. It's profoundly epic.
Have you noticed sometimes how Bach‘s music almost seems like it’s Romantic era? Not all the time but a few pieces of his just seem so ahead of its time. That and the baroque tuning makes it really nice to hear.
That’s Johann Strauss II. I know that Richard Strauss wrote some nice pieces for the French horn
haha listening to it now, I forgot about that whole late Lizst phase where he got super experimental. The greats always die with ambition. Are you a fan of Albeniz?? Although he is famous for his guitar pieces, he really has a great oeuvre of underrated piano masterpieces. I just think he has a grasp of color and inventive rhythm (at the time) that makes him the master of that era in my opinion.
Havent listened to a lot of Albeniz just his famous pieces so I can’t really say. I’m not a huge fan of the Modern era except for Ravel, Shostakovich and Hindemith
the problem with the modern era, outside the experimentation for experimentation's sake, was that it just lost the general universal principles of art. There are interesting bits and pieces yet there is a general failure to unify these themes to be meaningful, well-paced, or consistent. I think the idea of what makes culturally "good" music got corrupted around this era too- in the sense that the "greats" all attended the same schools hobnobbed and promoted each other, and shut out the truly innovative outsiders, and only were rediscovered posthumously. In prior eras, only the best really floated to the top.
I think what you’re talking about the schools of thoughts started from the whole War of the Romantics and classical music split into two ‘factions’ (not sure of the exact word) and the New German School dominated the post-Romantic era. The conservatives (Brahms, Schumann, Mendy) faded into obscurity and ‘old’ music was never really revived.
By corruption, I am talking about guys like Schönberg, Cage, etc. I think they are overrated hacks that are propped into relevancy by academia. That's not to say they don't know anything about music, but they are just that-- pools of theory and knowledge. They are academics masquerading as composers.
this tbh>listen to X genre of music
>feel motivated, le'quirky, and unique
>remember im an ugly khhv subhuman with no foreseeable future
>stop listening
>repeat
Well, Bach was such a genius it's not too surprising he inspired composers of the romantic era.
Schönberg wasn’t bad tbh, just very dissonant and jarring. He’s written books on music theory and his twelve tone system so I think he’s a better academic but not a bad composer. Cage is awful ngl
I’m not talking about harmonies and stuff. Just the overall texture of some pieces seems Romantic
