Tourist here, who are the metalfag's composers? Wagner, Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Mahler, Scriabin? I like the cooler, sinister parts of Holst's Planets if that helps.

>>126733296
There's a Scarlatti that sounds like metal , I can't really remember which though.

There's also these two pieces by Royer(the rest of his stuff is not worth it and it might be partly the player who makes it sound so thunderous)

Some of the Scriabin Sonatas 5 in particular are crying out to be played by multiple instruments but no one does this, they just keep playing it on the piano leaving it trapped in a very limited sonic register

Someday in the future, perhaps decades, this recording will receive the recognition it deserves. Hearing the Goldberg Variations performed like this has the potential power to end wars and cure mental illness.

favorite Dvořák 9 recording? so far mine is Kertesz London, but i haven't heard many others.

>>126735796
Dvorak 9 is a piece almost everyone does well, so really just go with your favorite conductor for it. Giulini, Karajan, Kubelik, Dohnanyi, Szell. All great, I'd be happy to listen to any of these and more. That said, if I had to name the absolute best one I've heard, it's Bernstein's (sorry Karajan).

I'm convinced 99% of the critical acclaim for Ancerl is a result of his recordings being really good for their time, when his was often the only quality recording you could find at your local record store. His Prokofiev, Janacek, Dvorak, Mahler, Shostakovich... it's all so standard. Competently done, but standard. idk

I went there and the first result was 4chan.org/mu/classical/

>>126737205
Prelude is just a short piece that serves as introduction. Fugue is a polyphonic form, which uses imitative counterpoint. Meaning it has multiple melodies of equal worth (not merely accompaniments, like chords) played simultaneously, imitating each other, with slight variations and development. They are harmonically dependant(sounding good together), but rhythmic and melodic contour is free so they differ:

Thank you. So a Prelude can be and do anything?

>>126737913
Idk, I just don't think pre-Chopin etudes are worth listening. They're always just an exercise/gimmick, but here, the "lyrical" parts sound uninspired, and the transitions are clunky.

>>126737927
This etude is from 1840 whereas Chopin's op.10 is from 1932. I like it because it's so unique especially for its time. It's full of energy, hypnotic rhythm, and really sounds like 8-bit music. It's not very melodic but that's not the point.

>>126737944
>1932.
1832* bruh. Actually published in 33. So before Alkan's.

>>126737944
What I meant with pre-Chopin wasn't necessarily tied to chronology, but method. Alkan was clearly on his own path, but composers that came after and were influenced by Chopin directly started writing etudes with more musical "substance". That's what I meant. But sure, while it's an interesting piece, it's one where I go "that's cool" and don't really want to listen to it anymore.

We may, but in the far future. We are currently in decline, heading towards times similar to the dark ages or the middle ages. Renaissance-like period will follow shortly after.

>>126738363
if by "decline" you mean an era of sorting out all the theoretical problems relating to music I would agree.

>>126738411
I mean intellectual and cultural decline. We can barely solve anything anymore, let alone innovate.

>>126738451
decline is a meme. The possibilities of music are very far from being exhausted and I have no trouble coming up with new ideas.

fortunately, none of my ancestors were from the lower classes and I can trace them back to the Victorian era but I doubt Dutton's theories are true anyway.

>>126738552
>Dutton's theories
They aren't even his. He merely put them together. All great thinkers including Darwin have predicted intellectual decline. I suggest you read his book, and it will leave you with no doubts. You will be able to draw parallels to art, and how it affected music from every possible angle.

>>126738256
What does that mean, in concrete musical terms?

>>126738586
I doubt it because there is certainly a caste of European professionals (engineers, doctors, etc.) that has not degraded since circa 1900. That is the caste I belong to and if anything it has systematically weeded out its weaker elements since then.

read Bernard Shaw.

Is it me or does the first movement of Mahler 4 sound slightly mozartian at points? Was that intentional to facilitate a child character to the piece? If so, pretty smart if i say so myself.

Why does he like CPE Bach, Haydn, and Rossini so much?

>>126738669
he's also a big fan of Dvorak.

>>126738675
That too, yeah.

>>126738669
why do you keep posting him here

>>126738629
>caste of European professionals (engineers, doctors, etc.) that has not degraded since circa 1900
It actually has, but not in a way you'd expect. There is certainly some progress still, and even some innovation, but not to the extent of 19th century. And it is progressively worsening, the caste of European professionals you're refering to do not reproduce, or do not reproduce at the same rate as the lower, working class. When this happens for an extended period of time, we get less geniuses and highly intelligent people.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfXkr1YheXk
What's more interesting is how the class fertility changes, creativity and innovation per capita correlate strongly with simple reaction times, color discrimination, use of high-difficulty words, backward digit span, spatial perception and more (all very good proxies for general intelligence, and some of them, such as SRT are measured since 1800s).

>>126738719
/classical/ is outer /hurwitz/.

>>126738669
Because they're just as good as your Mozarts and Wagners and underrated, relatively speaking. No one means CPE when they say 'Bach'.

>>126739196
>No one means CPE when they say 'Bach'
Yeah because his father is much better.
>underrated
That word is overused. CPE Bach, Haydn, and Rossini are perfectly rated. They're not as good as Mozart or Wagner.

>>126739324
CPE was just as good as JS, arguably even better. And Haydn is definitely the genius of classical era. He came up with the sonata form, so there's no contest. Only Beethoven outsmarted him by manipulating forms in more ways than previously imagined. No one is "perfectly rated".

>>126739324
Haydn was better than Mozart at the symphony, piano sonatas, the quartet, and non-opera vocal music.

>>126739100
that's double the lethal amount

>>126739394
>CPE was just as good as JS, arguably even better

agreed. I love Mozart's masses but Haydn's are generally superior.

>>126739483
Bach had decades to come up with something new, but did nothing except his usual fugues. CPE revolutionized harmony. How is that retarded?

>>126739496
>quality=innovation
lol

Man, why did so few symphonists do what Mahler and Bruckner did? If the symphony is truly a worthy artform then it should be as grand as the opera in scale and not be limited to light 40 minutes slop pieces

Bruckner 2 is a good symphony, why do people always say it's one of his weaker ones? I think it's way more consistent than his third.

>>126739394
>CPE was just as good as JS
How so?
>arguably even better
'Arguably' is a strong word. You're going to have to argue it very well
>And Haydn is definitely the genius of classical era. He came up with the sonata form, so there's no contest
Haydn is very influential, a great composer, and highly regarded, mostly for inventing the symphony and string quartet. But he certainly didn't "cope up with the sonata form". He helped develop and standardize it, along with Mozart (balance) and Beethoven (expansion), but CPE Bach, JC Bach, and Stamitz were already using forms that resemble sonata form.
>No one is "perfectly rated".
Those three are. It's completely fair and reasonable they're rated as being a tier below composers like Mozart or Wagner.
>>126739416
This is all very debatable.

Putting Mozart on the same tier as Wagner is laughable

>>126740225
I think B3 is the better work as a whole (definitely has a much better first movement) but I do really like the slow movement of B2.

>>126740455
Because?

>>126740455
yes you need to really underrate Mozart to do that

>>126740455
True, Wagner is trash

>>126740500
>>126740506
Come on, Wagner is good. I think he's as much a genius as Mozart in different fields. Just because he has an obnoxious cult around him shouldn't take away from his music.

>>126740176

>>126740176
Why does something have to be big to be good?

>>126740549
His focus was on the Opera. A composer can be highly focused on one thing or he can do a lot of things well. I don't think the former is an issue if the composer makes genuine masterpieces in the form that he chooses, which Wagner did.

>>126740588
More narrative space to express wider ranges of emotion. A Mahler symphony is truly like the world, as he describes himself

>>126740610
He wrote 13 operas, 4 of which are good. That's a pretty bad ratio of success.

>>126740633
he has 10 good operas

>>126740653
Der Ring, Parsifal, Meistersinger, and Tristan are the only good ones. The rest are boring trash

As I already explained, more forward thinking, less jerking off to the same rules.
Haydn is the godfather of sonata form as we know it. And I disagree, no one is perfectly rated - that is an impossibility.

We have lost the plot if we are now saying Wagner is better than Haydn.

>>126738723
Just from a layman’s perspective this not a very fair chart since in 1900 the population was 1.6 billion which is just slightly more than todays Indian population. I’m fact the population increase is nearly entirely in Asia and it’s never happened in human history and it’s caused by innovation.
Secondly you have in 1400 you have horse drawn cart, 300 years later you: horse drawn cart. Whereas in 1900 you have engine on 4 bicycle wheels chugging along at 8 miles, slightly over 100 years later you have rocket ships deploying drones on Mars that link video back to earth.

Karl Böhm is my favorite overall conductor of Mozart. Sadly he didn't do many of his piano concertos, so for those I tend to go for Kurt Masur and Annerose Schmidt's recording, that one is my favorite complete-ish set. If I feel a bit more HIP that particular day, maybe Hogwood and Levin as the improvisational angle of those recordings is fun.

Isn't Wagner rather underrated among the general populace? I mean, aside from Neo-Nazis and the occult circles that Wagnerians move in.

Are there any more symphonies formatted like Tchaikovsky's fourth or Mendelssohn's Scottish symphony where the first movement makes up the bulk of the symphony?

>>126748990
Bruckner or Mahler probably did that at least once.

>>126748979
He is a household name, even my rockist boomer dad knows who he is and he has almost no knowledge of classical music at all. As far as people actually listening to him, yeah that is difficult. Wagner's "no numbers" philosophy ironically lead to his work being a lot harder to appreciate by the general populace, even compared to symphonists who were inspired by him like Bruckner and Mahler.

Generally, people like musical works to be smaller sections of musical thought that make up a cohesive whole rather than a giant singular musical statement. Wagner decided to make 4 hour long works that can't really be split up into digestable smaller segments that you can isolate, even the individual acts have little to no musical seperation and are way too long to appreciate on their own. This also makes it difficult to use in concert settings, because aside from overtures/preludes, there aren't many ways to perform works by Wagner in a standard concert setting like you could for any other opera. Der Holle Rache can be performed individually inbetween two symphonies in a concert and it would work quite well, as can any other aria from that opera. Good luck trying to find something like that from the ring cycle that can do that besides MAYBE Ride of the Valkyries. It's why "wagner concerts" are a constant stream of preludes, interludes and more preludes.

I am not saying this makes wagner bad, just that it makes wagner harder to appreciate for most people.

>He is a household name, even my rockist boomer dad knows who he is
I'm really surprised to hear that. I've never met a single non-classical fan that knows who he is.

What about the so-called 'bleeding chunks'? Entrance of the Gods, Magic Fire, Forest Murmurs, Siegfried's Rhein Journey and Death and maybe a few more. But in general I agree with you.

>>126749032
Wagner (PBUH) is understood only by the most esoteric Logierians.

>>126741881
>Scriabin, however, did not use the chord directly but rather derived material from its transpositions.

Who is the Bruckner of every country? I mean less in style and more in personality. I really like his unpretentious nature, and him just being a simple hick who wrote music because he loved God. It makes his work really endearing to me. Which I rarely find in most other composers. Especially from the east.

>>126749308
>caring about biographical details over the music
cringe

>>126749314
I care about the music. But the composer's life definitely impacts the music to some degree.

Take Schoenberg for example. Imagine, say, his string trio
So it being written by an autistic jew who wanted to advance the tradition gives it one vibe
Now imagine it being written by a serial killer and the piece is meant to capture the sound of his victims, the piece suddenly becomes way different in character

>>126749842
Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya also contains Mahler excerpts. Japs seem to like his music quite a bit.

>>126749849
>Japs seem to like his music quite a bit.
I really don't know why.

>>126749881
The colorfulness is quite Asian.

>>126749881
Might be because his music has a sense of narrative progression to it which resonates with japs a lot. For example JPOP (I know, not classical) notoriously uses more complex progressions and modulation compared to any other nation's pop music. Their soundtracks are also war more often symphonic in the modern day compared to the west which has adopted Hans Zimmer fart noises.

>>126749899
Sounds like a rather odd statement to me.

>>126749903
But narrative progression in itself isn't necessary for complex progressions and modulations.

>>126749050
>What about the so-called 'bleeding chunks'? Entrance of the Gods, Magic Fire, Forest Murmurs, Siegfried's Rhein Journey and Death and maybe a few more
These often don't really feel like full pieces and don't work in isolation that well if you never saw the opera's they're from. At least an overture works well enough as a standalone symphonic movement that Liszt created an entire genre that's essentially just overtures without an opera. But the Ring doesn't have any real overtures either besides sorta half-overtures of 5 minutes max.

>>126749939
>But narrative progression in itself isn't necessary for complex progressions and modulations.
Yes, but that is how the Japs use it for their music. The average JPOP song utilizes it's complexity far better than, say, Jacob Collier

Though this is turning into a >>>/mu/ discussion. This'd better be a seperate thread

If I like Bruckner, should I listen to Meistersinger, Tristan or Parsifal?

Parsifal imo sounds the closest to Bruckner, but then again Tristan was responsible for inspiring Bruckner to be a symphonist. Meistersinger is so comical and light-hearted and 'pretty', and does that describe any of Bruckner's music?

What Made Alfred Brendel Larger Than Life

I don't understand the importance of a good conductor. Can you guys give me examples of the same piece being conducted by a good and a bad conductor so I can hear the difference?

>>126755692
Since good and bad vary from person to person, I'll instead post examples where the difference in the conductor and their vision is readily apparent and obvious:

>>126748970
>Annerose Schmidt
Ah right, that's why I vaguely remembered Suitner coming up. Thanks for the rec.

>>126755734
I think I like Klemperer the most. The main difference I notice is the tempo. I don't know music theory, so I don't know what else to look out for.

>>126755979
Tempo, the way the orchestra plays (though part of that is on the orchestra itself, the conductor plays a large part [note the fullness of Klemperer and Karajan versus Chailly]), repeats, and how they play specific notes, bars, and moments, which all add up to working in service of a specific vision, and the question is if their vision and their way of going about it works for you. So, no music theory knowledge needed, all that matters is which sounds the best to you and resonates in your heart and soul the most. That's the effect of the conductor.

>>126755997
Why I like Klemperer's version is because whenever there's a build up, it just seems to have weight to it. It actually seems like an effort to get to the climax (or whatever it's called). Other versions sort of give it to you too easily.

>>126756101
Yeah Klemperer's 3rd is an all-timer. But yeah, see, you get it, those are the differences the conductor makes.

And thus begins your journey of caring about the specific recording and the performers (conductor/orchestra/soloists) :)

Personally I think it's fine having multiple favorite recordings because sometimes I like hearing pieces done in different ways (for example, for the 3rd, sometimes I like hearing it performed with a faster tempo with taut and agile playing), so I don't see the purpose of listening to new recordings as to find the ultimate best one and discard the rest into the recycle bin, but most here are like that, so you do you.

>Maya Beiser x Terry Riley: In C

>For Those Who Like: Steve Reich, cellos, magic mushrooms
>The Story: It's pretty gutsy to take on a revered, pioneering piece of minimalism designed for a couple dozen people to play and reduce it to only a stack of cello loops and a pair or percussionists. But cellist Maya Beiser has triumphed, releasing one of the most groove-laden and listenable renditions of In C, Terry Riley's enduring 60-year-old score. And it's fitting that Beiser deploys loops for her version, given that the seeds of In C were sown in Riley's earlier experiments in cutting and looping tape.
>The Music: Beiser's vision is all about pulses, drones and the low C string of her instrument, which tends to ricochet off drummers Shane Shanahan and Matt Kilmer. She likes to unfurl long, singing cello lines over oscillating beats, creating grooves with the power to intoxicate or get you wired for an all-night road trip. In one section, she interleaves her voice with cello in a nod to the medieval vocal technique of hocketing. In another, she distorts her instrument and amps up the beat, creating a kind of headbanging grunge moment. Along the way, Beiser cuts the engine to provide a couple of calming rest stops.

explain why rach is bad without using slurs or being nationalistic

>>126760645
uhhhh he just IS OKAY???????

>>126760645
How can you explain that something good is bad? The common fallacies when criticizing Rach include: bad counterpoint (he can handle 4 voice counterpoint perfectly btw), bad form (his form is as good as Mozart's, the "problem" is not that it's bad, but not innovative for modernist circlejerk), and no innovation, which is quite laughable, as any sort of innovation after early 20th century has led to nothing but ugliness and downfall of classical music pretty much. Rachmaninoff is god tier (high S tier) melodist, and that alone scares the krautslopper who probably jerks off to Simon Sechter. His structural brilliance and seamless harmonic flow exceeds expectations from 20th century sloppers. To claim otherwise is no different than to claim late Beethoven isn't good, you are moving into post-modernist, subjective nonsense territory. Both can be justified by pseudo-reasoning, but neither can be justified by logic and common sense.

>>limited harmonic language
Scriabin's harmonic language isn't better, original =! better.
>>virtuosity as an end in itself
If that was the case, Rach could write unplayble music and 12ths all over the place. A lot of his music is actually pretty easy for beginners (e.g. his famous c# minor prelude). And same argument can be applied to any other composer, Beethoven's sonatas are excessively virtuosic and sometimes harder than most Rach.
>>historical redundancy
As is all music today? Lol. There is no great innovation anymore, we are in cultural and intellectual decline. Modernists did not innovate in any serious manner. It's safe to say Beethoven and Wagner were the last major innovators.

He is criticized because he's more popular than his contemporaries. It's like if SaIieri (Schoenberg) had fans that were jealous of Mozart's (Rachmaninoff's) supremacy

>Nonsensical argument.
Not at all. Lyricism is a part of music, but I'm talking about OVERRELIANCE. It's a valid critique. Mozart, Chopin, and Schubert never fell into that trap because their lyricism is integrated into highly sophisticated forms, motivic development, and structural variety. Rachmaninoff too often leans on broad, sweeping, sentimental melodies without the same level of developmental rigor. Too much of one device, however beautiful in isolation, becomes repetitive and uninteresting across works.
>Scriabin's harmonic language isn't better, original =! better.
The question isn't simply "better" or "worse", that's quite subjective, but rather about variety and exploration. Rachmaninoff largely remains within a narrower late-Romantic idiom. Scriabin is basically Rachmaninoff but more = clearly more interesting and varied. Rachmaninoff = less varied = limited.
>c# minor prelude
Firstly, you don't know what "for beginners" means. Try an early Mozart minuet, not that. As for virtuosity: you're missing the point. It's not about writing "the hardest possible music", but using virtuosity as a gesture and substance, as a kind of content in itself. Compare that with Chopin or Scriabin, where virtuosity is more tightly fused to the musical substance rather than being a self-repeating surface effect.
>>>historical redundancy
I'm referring to his position within his own time, not today. He was already redundant back then. And no, Beethoven and Wagner were not the "last major innovators", whatever that means. Entirely new developments occurred in orchestration (this is a big one), rhythm, harmony, and texture well into the 20th century. Stravinsky, Debussy, Ravel, Schoenberg, Bartók, and others radically expanded the language of music.

>>126761381
>provided absolutely zero sources or proofs for said claim.
You never asked.

Educated and knowledgeable biographers like John Eliot Gardiner and Christoph Wolff support the fact Bach was a devout Christian and not an atheist. To quote some passages from their biographies respectively:

>Religion was central not just to his upbringing and his education but to the locus of his employment and to his general outlook on life. For him it went beyond dogma, having a practical as well as a spiritual application, and was underpinned by reason.
>The dedication of his art to God’s glory was not confined to signing off his church cantatas with the acronym S[oli] D[eo] G[loria]; the motto applied with equal force to his concertos, partitas and instrumental suites.

(from Bach : Music in the Castle of Heaven)

>Bach annotated in his study Bible Abraham Calov’s commentary... writing in the margin: ‘NB. A splendid demonstration that… music has been mandated by God’s spirit.’
>...the ‘Soli Deo Gloria’ at the end of Bach’s scores provides vivid testimony to his own stand in this respect.
>He also grasped the metaphysical dimension of music, as we can deduce from another marginal comment in his Calov Bible... ‘As the glory of the Lord appeared upon the beautiful music’... Bach added his own comment: ‘NB.

Define it.

Absolutely same goes for Rachmaninoff. Your lack of exposure to his music and some other biases are showing.
>without the same level of developmental rigor.
Rachmaninoff's contrapuntal development is far superior to Schubet's and farily superior to Chopin's. You are pulling all this out of your arse.
>that's quite subjective,
I disagree.
>Rachmaninoff largely remains within a narrower late-Romantic idiom.
Except it isn't narrow at all. It's like saying Bach's harmony is "narrow". This is all pseudointellectual nonsense. And you fell for it.
>you don't know what "for beginners" means. Try an early Mozart minuet, not that.
I'm just pointing out how beginners often start with Rach pieces and succesfully pull them off.
>but using virtuosity as a gesture and substance, as a kind of content in itself.
Except that isn't the case with Rachmaninoff. He uses advanced techniques to develop textures. This is not merely a "virtuosic show off". And doesn't explain his orchestral output, where is virtuosity in his symphonies? In Isle of the Dead? In the Bells? Your argument falls apart right there.
>I'm referring to his position within his own time, not today.
Many great composers weren't recognized in their own time either. Anyway, this has nothing to do with the quality of his music anyway.
>Beethoven and Wagner were not the "last major innovators",
Oh yes they were. The innovations that occured after were not nearly as substantial.

Between his symphonies, string quartets, and piano sonatas, man, Schubert really loves his repeats. It's fine because his themes and melodies tend to be among the best ever composed, but man, when he likes something he wrote, he tries to get everything out of it, and then some!

A good way to think about it is comparing a conductor to a translator of literature. I'm sure you'd agree different translations have a completely distinct result, even if the underlying source material and meanings are the same, the equivalent of performing from the same notes. Every translation and performance comes with myriad decisions, all of which affect the color, mood, flavor, meanings, music, rhythm, emotion, and length of the text and music.

Got-DAMN this is a leisurely, slow tempo performance of Beethoven's 7th String Quartet, never heard anything like it lol

Generally, performing these middle quartets are all about emphasizing the verve and dancing melodic lines, so hearing it performed this way is quite a shock. Gotta respect it tho

I accept your concession.

Any suggestions for a highly expressive, romantic set of Beethoven's Piano Sonatas? Barenboim's and Gilels' are in the right vein, but looking for others. Please and thank you.
