>"Gee, wonder what's going on in /classical/
>More fedoratippers vs people absolutely horrid at apologetics
I sometimes forget that this general is about music and not a off-topic /his/ thread about religion. Please take that shit there.
Either way, was curious about something: Is there any particular reason as to why, at least in the english speaking space our view of classical music is as germano-centric as it is? Not to give any shade to the big German composers, I hold them all quite dear. But I was curious why the big names tend to be associated with Austria and Germany when arguably Italy and France provided more contributions in the Renaissance and Baroque period. I know we do hold plenty of those composers to high regard, but they're nowhere near as talked about as Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms Wagner, Haydn, etc

>Like all these musicians, The Beatles and whoever you like, Lennon, Jagger/Richards, can't read a stick of music. I can't read or write music. Nobody could. Hendrix couldn't read or write music
And it shows in their music and their understanding of it. This retard apparently thinks that all music has to do is have a memorable tune, most Jazz and Classical musicians have already moved on from that notion and instead want to tell a musical story with these tunes, rather than just repeating them ad nauseum. But when your brain operates like a rockist, you cannot imagine music being anything more than a flamboyant homosexual in make up prancing around on stage singing about how he sucked a producers dick.
>No, you just do it. It's like being able to write a book in another language, although you can't read or write in another language because it's verbal."
It's not really like that. It's more like me using limited knowledge of words in another language to write a poem. Is it a good poem? In these people's retarded relativist worldview it probably is. But anyone who actually speaks the language will just tell me that it sounds retarded.

And if we're talking just subject matter, every composer who ever wrote a mass or general sacred piece of music (90% of the people in the Classical canon)
Retarded that you assume that Christian music is bad because all you heard was crappy pop music made by protestants, some of the greatest masterpieces in the classical repertoire are sacred works
