>German. German. Composers are always German.

>>2593339
And which composers from this list are german?

>>2593324
None of these composers are great

Vodka

>>2593324
>Tchaikovsky
>Stravinsky

Good.
The rest are literally who (?) to me.

>>2593392
You know Stravinsky but don't know Prokofiev and Shostakovich?

>>2593335
Retarded.

>>2593367
Edgy.

All I know is Russia was on its way to becoming a major economic, political and military power when the Bolshevik revolution arrested its development.

>>2593417
And cultural as well.

>>2593417
Soviet cultural policy in music made an emphasis on composing folk-inspired music, this killed off most of the russian classical tradition, don't forget that many composers fled after the revolution

>>2593324
Enlightenment took roots. Peter the great and Catherine the great did a good job of setting Russia on the course of greatness.

>>2593406
Stravinsky, a staunch anti-Bolshevist, said he didn't blame the soviet government for condemning Shostakovich's opera Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District. That's how awful he thought it was.

>>2593487
That's an interesting piece of information

>>2593324
Never heard of any of these guys or their music

>>2593565
You probably have, but you're not associating the name with the music. Anyway, check them out on JewTube, you might like it.

I'm getting fed up with this meme, and your rear will be holding court with my boot should we ever meet.

>>2593324
>why did russia suddenly produce so many nonames in XIXth century?

>>2593633
>Stravinsky, Prokofiev better than Tchaikovsky
>am I edgy yet?
Prokofiev is pretty mediocre aside from one symphony and two violin concertos.

>>2593665

Russian composers are overrated. I challenge you to prove that any of these composers wrote good music, pro-tip: you can't

>>2593633
Shit bait

>>2593693
not baiting, you just have shit taste

>>2593633
Edgy

>>2593680
>Stravinsky
Le chords
Le syncopated rhythms
No substance
No counterpoint
Literally vacuity: the composer.

>>2593697
Care to explain your superior patrician taste then?

>>2593701
>no counterpoint

t. has never looked at a stravinsky piece

>>2593633
Please elaborate on how you came to this conclusion

>>2593633
This post is autistic on so many levels

>>2593679

it is true that inner city schools under-perform, but outside of that it isn't the case, the private alternative also exists

>>2593633
What do you listen to? Penderecki?

>>2593633
nice one m8

>>2593729
>2017
>has still only listened to threnody

>>2593705
>embellished accompaniment

ITT: rampant /his/trionic hipsterism

>being this much of an edgy ironic hipster

>>2593681
What makes a composer good to you? Are you one of those edgelords who thinks that classical music begins and ends with Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven?

>>2593877
The ability to compose complex, rich music. Tchaikovsky or Rachmaninoff are like babies compared to great european composers.
