Granted, it probably also has to do with me more often seeking out recordings that observe the repeats so I tend to skip over ones that don't. Probably should do that less. Though it is a genuine gripe I have when recordings do that.

I like on average everything up to the Romantic period, then I get really picky with composers
>>127320748
On one hand, I am already so extremely familiar with these works I could play them in my head, so it doesn't bother me too much when a recording skips it. But on the other hand, I do think it's important to be observed just for the fact that the composer wrote it in the score for a reason, and I haven't really heard any solid arguments as to whether these symphonies were ever performed with the repeat skipped in their time. I like romanticisms in my classical-period music, but blatantly ignoring the composers instructions is taking it a bit too far

There's a lot of hidden gems with these pieces, and a lot of potential for original interpretations and performances because they haven't been done to death already for a century.

In a way I admire Schoenberg more than Bach. Schoenberg was at least an innovator and showed true inspiration in his work. True the 'system' he created was idiotic and abritary hatched from the wellspring of a neurotic mind and the dark not altogether unfounded fantasies about what lay behind the passing glances of the goyim; but at least it showed he was a real artist. Bach was no artist but a mere musician. His style was outdated even in his day and he merely worked in the existing well established forms. He was highly prolific but only because his work was highly formulaic. He could pump out his work very fast but there were no surprises or genuine creative outbursts. Even his ideas such as they were, were entirely conceptual.

Hello just visiting here, questions for euros. since when do we tolerate those kind of high pitched "wooos" from the public at the end of symphonic concerts to cheer? I always associated this with female public in american televsion late show and such. But why is this now accepted instead of an onest bravo.

This is a silly thing to bring up, but man, the names of lesser-known, lower-tier symphonists are so hard to remember for me. I'll get into the mood of listening to a non-standard repertoire symphony and I'll end up going, "Fuck, what was the name of that one I came across by luck that one time, which only has one recording... damnit," it's impossible, I should've started writing them down or something.

On the flip, the argument is, of course, if they were truly worthwhile, then one wouldn't have any problem remembering them, but sometimes you want variety for variety's sake above all else, even if the symphony is 'only' a 7/10. Anyway...

>In that intimate circle of artistic friends to which Ravel belonged — Les Apaches — he was nicknamed Rara. This was, no doubt, derived from the first syllable of his name but, of course, it carried with it the most apt Latin connotations; did it also, I wonder, remind them, as it reminds me, of ‘Maestro Raro’ the nickname that Schumann gave to himself to denote his integral artistic identity, Florestan and Eusebius held in perfect equilibrium? It has become a commonplace to talk of musical ‘split personality’ in the case of Schumann, increasingly, too, in the case of Liszt (Faust/Mephistopheles, Franciscan/Gypsy, and so on), and yet a detailed examination of the complex of attitudes that make up Ravel reveals a duality quite as pronounced as either. (Significantly, he venerated both the older masters, and their influence on him, particularly that of Liszt, is incalculable).

>Ricardo Viñes, his friend from childhood, described Ravel aged 21 as “…very complicated, there being in him a mixture of Middle Ages Catholicism and satanic impiety, but also with a love of Art and Beauty which guide him and which make him react candidly.” That is but one way of characterising this fundamental antithesis — ‘light’/‘dark’, ‘Apollonian’/‘Dionysiac’, ‘Aesthetic’/‘Decadent’ would be equally appropriate antitheses, all of them in some way limited and limiting. What is really remarkable is not only Ravel’s ability to explore separate sides of his personality in individual works, but also the absolute necessity of holding both sides in equilibrium so that he almost invariably had two works on the go at the same time.

and to me it looks like you're the one who's insecure enough to feel compelled to set up otherwise needless/arbitrary comparisons to find the "superior" choice among non-mutually-exclusive things, so that you feel as though you like the "correct" or "superior" one.

i like the sound of it. i tried piano for a bit and got a cheap keyboard (which was more detrimental) but piano is too sentimental and ive never really connected with it, i'm more into baroque sounds. i'd prefer harpsichord instead or organ, but they are impossible to get. i could go for a nice keyboard but the portability of an acoustic instrument is nice

since im a neet i thought it would be good invest my time into an instrument though im in my 30s. dont know anyone who plays it and im afraid i'll never find a teacher in my small city --- it will be extremely tough to learn by myself i know but it shouldn't be impossible with enough dedication. (my neighbors will possibly suffer in the beginning)

Man, it really is all chemicals, huh? I wake up, put on a recording and it sounds great, take my daily medicine, and over the next hour and a half as the medicine begins to take effect and change my brain chemistry and affect my entire conscious experience, my feelings toward the music change dramatically, and by the time the medicine has fully kicked in, I no longer feel the same way about the music at all. I then change to something else which wouldn't have sounded as good to me an hour and a half before because I was, strictly speaking, essentially a different person then before the medicine changed who I was for the day.

It's more so on the surface you would think something which requires aesthetic contemplation would be immune to such chemical vicissitudes, like we're not talking about a pregnant lady having cravings for new and bizarre foods, but it is more similar to that than we'd think. This is more akin to finding different philosophies and logical arguments appealing based on your chemical makeup at that moment, which is also the case! But again, would be surprising to some. I don't think most know or would admit if you gave them the right meds, their entire political and aesthetic beliefs can be turned over in a week.

Plus, of course, it's just jarring to experience in real-time. Sorry for the rambling, gotta get all this energy out before the medicine sedates me for the rest of the day and makes me dumb -- if I had to estimate, it easily shaves off 15-20 IQ points. It's worth it though.

Or to put it a better way, one normally has the view of aesthetics as belonging to that higher, immaterial realm of ideas, which is delineated from and immune to chemical changes in the body, but it is not so.

Well, metaphysical questions aren't really what's at hand here. I didn't mean only chemicals and strict physicalism exist, but rather everything is filtered through apparatuses which are thoroughly controlled, moderated, and influenced by chemicals, thereby affecting or even outright determining your entire experience and notions of truth. In other words, I'm talking more epistemology and aesthetics here, not metaphysics.

Schubert's D.960 is surely belongs among the utmost peak of solo piano music, but I gotta say, it gets old pretty fast. Franz really milked the theme for all its worth and then some, and it ends up dragging a bit.

And my issue is I haven't listened to it for months, yet whenever I make the attempt, as soon as I hear that main theme I'm like "ehgh," y'know?

idk

Maybe it's too powerful of a work.

I only listen to 4, and Kempff is by far my favorire, Perahia is pretty close one. I should definitely check out golden age recordings (19th century pianists), but after searching for 5-10 mins I can't find any.

That solo piano is better than orchestea without piano (e.i. excluding piano concerto). Technically orchestra is more expressive, has more dynamics, vastly more color, but still, for some reason, piano is the perfect instrument for me. I can't put into words why and it bothers me. Maybe it's just the timbre has some special effect on my auditory senses.

I like his Fantasie Impromptu recording, although I don't care very much for Chopin's études. Perahia also has a good recording of his sonatas.

Anyways, if you'd like a newer recording of his nocturnes, Maurizio Pollini has a very good record of all of Chopin's solo piano music, but I forgot it's name. If not, Rubinstein is the obvious classic option

not sure how to direct link posts there but it's on this page if you wanna see the lower tiers and cycles he doesn't like

nice to see heidsieck mentioned. that cycle is included in my treasured beethoven "collectors" box, one of my first classical purchases, years ago (it also has the cluytens symphony cycle, yay!). heidsiecks appassionata is tremendous.

that list also makes me despair that i failed to buy the el cheapo rudolf serkin beethoven set before it went out of print. i think it cost around € 20-30 then... now on discogs it goes for € 80-100.

other than heidsieck, i have gilels and gulda from that list, and that's really as many complete cycles as i could possibly need. (there's plenty of individual discs or smaller collections that i cherish though.)

I feel like time and the classical industry has filtered the standard repertoire and the lasting works too thinly. For example, someone into Rock or Hip Hop has thousands of albums and artists to choose from. For classical composers, it's really only the same few dozen we listen to today. Surely there have been many thousands of composers over the centuries? Why aren't there hundreds of composers with solo piano music I can listen to?

What the FUCK, /classical/; I've been on a Hindemith binge (yeah it's me, the "sell me Hindemith" fuck) and it's absolutely amazing. Why don't you ever talk about him? What is wrong with you? His Kammermusik and Konzertmusik series alone are some of the greatest music ever composed in the XXth century.

The reason that joke works is becuse it's referring to a Baroque composer who may conceivably lived in Ulm and it's a kind of funny sounding city. Whereas in 9753 Ulm would not have existed, nor would the cities have bore that kind of name

Edit 2: 327 upvotes for this? Haha wow that's the most I've ever gotten, thanks guys and gals and everything in between!

Edit 3: WTF 600 upvotes wow thank you all so much this is the best birthday ever

Edit 4: Thanks for all the birthday wishes fellow r/wooooshers. I tippeth mine hat to thee on this pleasant morrow.

Edit 5: Ok, so this went viral overnight for some reason O_o 2000 motherflipping upboats I really have no words thank you all so much it means a lot!

Edit 6: ok I'm noticing some toxic discussion happening in this reply chain and I feel the need to address it. Sexism and racism are not cool guys, so please cool it and continue the good vibes please and thank you!

Edit 7: ok so I don't know why but I've received a lot of downvotes on this post recently, maybe i got raided by 4chan.com/b?? (commonly referred to as the "asshole of the internet" for those who aren't aware). I don't really ask for much but I was hoping we could show those losers a thing or two, so please give this post an upvote if you haven't already, it would mean the world to me and show these bullies you cannot mess with a good person.

Edit 8: turns out my girlfriend cheated on me, so that happened :/

Edit 9: so people have been wanting me to clarify the previous edit. I don't have the energy to go into a lot of detail so the general gist of it is this: Yes we were in an open relationship, no that doesn't mean you can't cheat on someone when you're in an open relationship. If you are having sex regularly with someone and never mention it until they get you pregnant, that is definitely a betrayal of trust even if you've both agreed that she can have as many partners as she feels she needs to be comfortable.

Edit 10: FYI, taking responsibility for the child does not make me any less of a man than you, actually it makes me more, so kindly fuck off please and thank you!

I wasn’t implying that at all. I said “extremely urgent” merely because I want to know what the piece is and the film is far too obscure to just search the soundtrack list so I figured one of you autists would know.

Haven't enjoyed a new (to me) composer this much since exploring the works of Szymanowski, Bridge, and maybe even Milhaud. It's a riot. I'm so glad people were so wrong in conflating Neue Sachlichkeit with Neoclassicism (in the accustomed, heavily Stravinskian, awfully tepid and boring sense of neoclassical). Hindemith really sonuds like no one else, except at times the aforementioned Milhaud and pre-serial Krenek maybe

Well, Carmina Burana may fall under folk category to some but the question was more broadly if any musicians of note existed before Hildegard and not mentioning the Carmina would be a huge oversite because it is one of the earliest uses of neumes and thus one of the earliest music collections. Also the musicians and troubadours parodied within the work such as the Palestinalied are worth searching out.

Neumes are as I recall an extremely primitive form of notation where all that is signified is if the note is higher or lower in pitch than the preceding note, hence why all those guys before Hildegard aren’t as well known because with Neumes it is largely guesswork piecing together what the piece even is.

He was born in the Russian Empire, for Christs sake just call him Russian. We still call all the composers from the Holy Roman Empire German even if they aren't geographically German anymore. Fuck, we don't even seperate AUSTRIANS from Germans most of the time.

A backwater slav shithole does not deserve more care than fucking AUSTRIA.

Wagnerians have ruined this general? Only in the sense that the spiritual women here have been run through by the "Complete Artwork" of Wagner and turned into gibbering holes with Borderline Personality Disorder towards the composer out of sheer resentment for the sensual mastery with which he united all the classical forms in his music drama. That is the Nothung which has raped to death the Fagnirs of this general, leaving only the superior men.

um sister, >>127338461 is not me thoughever, but i would prefer any 30m+ symphonies as i use them for my 30m-round typing sessions typing the Old Testament, in case that helps with more reccs, because i couldn't think of another book with regularly-spaced numbers sprinkled in to practice numbers on.
Moses just died so I was just starting on Joshua.
