Reminder Bach and after, before and not including Ives.

>– I think it was András Schiff who said that Bach belongs to everybody – not just the harpsichordists!

>– Yes, and another thing Schiff says is that the main reason he plays the 48 on a modern piano is the F minor prelude from the second book, because it’s almost impossible to do that kind of appoggiatura on a harpsichord.

also
>– You seem to take great interest in Bach’s use of number symbolism.

>– Yes, I find it fascinating to note how Bach uses numbers to put his signature to things and tell us of his intentions. The theme of the first fugue, for example, is made of 14 notes, Bach’s own number (B=2 + A=1 + C=3 + H=8). And then this theme is played 24 times, once for each major and minor key.
>Another interesting fugue in terms of number symbolism is the C-sharp minor fugue in Book I. For me, this is a choral fugue. In the WTC, there are only two fugues with 5 voices, which is what you find in the big sacred works. This already gives you an idea of the spiritual significance of this piece. And for the first theme, he uses the four-note “cross motif”, with its obvious reference to Christ. All in all, he uses three themes in this magnificent fugue, which I think should be interpreted as a symbol of the divine Trinity.

Because it's a large list of assembled materials of music theory, music recommendations and help in getting into stuff other than romanticism. I am interested in getting further into classical music. The initial post I replied to was saying that nobody uses the link, and because I came into this thread and l literally used the link seconds before reading that post, I responded to it. I don't understand why you're being such a huffy little bitch, but I don't see what the point of you posting in this thread actually is, other than to pretend to be a dipshit, or maybe you're not pretending.

Hollow Knight Silksong is a beauty of a game. An absolute work of art. Christopher Larkin has cited Wagner as his main influence, and it is very evident in the craft. Remember children, everything good and great which exists in this world came from Wagner.

Why does German music besides Wagner, some Beethoven and Bach lack any sense of passion and sensuous feeling to it? Every time I listen to music like Brahms, Bruckner, Mahler Schumann, or Haydn I get the ick. The Surprise symphony, Schumann's simp songs or Brahms incel chamber music, they all sound like they've been written by men who never touched a woman or had them desire them. Compare this to Bach, Marais, Franck, or Faure, all of whose music has an understated sexual feeling to it, a restraint of it, or a memory of an encounter. I don't get this with the Germans at all, it seems like the lack of sexual encounters have made their music so irresolute, isolating, and will ostracize anyone who likes to have sex. The French and Italians don't have this issue for obvious reasons.

Why do G*rmans make such icky music /classical/?

reading a review for a Beethoven piano sonatas cycle by a pianist I'm unfamiliar with (HJ Kim), and I found their division and ordering of the pieces really interesting, take a look

My feelings on this kinda go back and forth -- I get why people don't want to just do chronological, they want to mix it up, add their own personal spin, and indeed, ordering and context can change and add new meanings and reveal fresh insights, all of which increase enjoyment, but sometimes I do get annoyed when trying to find the sonata I want on the playlist lol, and sometimes it backfires when I'm more in the mood for the breezy casual fun of the early and middle piano sonatas and instead one of the weightier one comes on, ruining the mood and forcing me to change it

That said, still really cool, and opening with the Hammerklavier is a bold mood. It was almost enough to get me to listen to the cycle but the tempos seem too brisk for my tastes, so I'm gonna pass, but here's a sampling in case anyone is interested

That of course bugmen would enjoy her robotic, objective playing with focus on precision above all else. Correction: precision with nothing else. And then this objective precision gets mistaken for, because they genuinely prefer it, tasteful expression, when really it's the equivalent of detecting faint brainwave activity in a coma patient and declaring it promising if miraculous mental stimulation.

Banter aside, nothing wrong with liking Hahn, just keep the sound of her performances in your own home.

I cannot stop listening to The Bible. By which I mean the Old Testament and New Testament. By which of course I mean Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier and Beethoven's Piano Sonatas. I am positively obsessed. I am obsessively in love. I am lovingly ensorcelled. I am under the spell of two of the greatest minds in all of human history. Much like Shakespeare's plays, these two piano cycles span the gamut of the human condition. The mind and body, heart and soul, heavens and earth, divine and personal, comic and tragic, ebullient and pensive.

I uh disagree. Sure, an early romantic piece? Probably not for her, but some pieces were written to be performed at 300bps. Composers, when they originally wrote them, didn't knew these kind of tempos are possible (or rather sustainable). Hilary provides an essential service and we all should thank her for it. Would I want to hear her interpretations every day? No. But sometimes I want to know how does technically perfect x1.25-x1.5 sounds like and there's a short list of people delivering on that and Hilary's name on top of it. Plus she's beating asians at their own game. Surely that counts for something?

Chopin does plunge and articulate the depths of man beyond that of any other composer, but I wouldn't describe any of his music as divine. Which is fine, again, he is the master of the heart, of human emotion and all of its vicissitudes and shades and tones. Anyone who comes to Chopin's music without knowing love or passion or happiness or tragedy or excitement or any other facet of the timbre of human sentiment leaves an well-molded expert. But he lacks divinity and transcendence, and for that I give the edge, even if slightly, to Liszt.
