Just got into classical

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tajje4pRMbQ

from what I've heard (which isn't a lot) I've enjoyed Brahms and Strauss, I didn't really like Beethoven or Stravinsky, it was I bit too heavy.
what would you recommend?

don't listen to classical it's not for you

>>68582598
I always listen to "best of [composer]" tracks. Nearly all tracks in those are good and comparing them comes down to taste.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwp9JkaESdg
like this.
1 hour is not that much. Whenever I listen to classical music I usually do it for atleast 20 minutes. It's not like you have to listen them completely at once.
You get everything nicely sorted by the composer. I have like 7 different ones of those on my phone which is ~12 hours of music

>>68582717
>"best of [composer]"
This is the worst thing, kill self

>>68582736
actually it is a great way to get a complete overview of a composers works.
Can you tell me what's bad about it?

>>68582717
cool, thanks
I guess it is a little silly to ask what your, or any other persons favourite it because it probably isn't going to be mine
suppose I've just got to listen to a lot

>>68582764
different anon, but more often than not, "best of" translates into "most mainstream", which is not always identical to "most intricate, meaningful"

>>68582764
>actually it is a great way to get a complete overview of a composers works.
This isn't, if you would listen to "the best of Wagner" you would have a feeling that he is good composer, because you listened his good things only. And selection of works is shit in the most.

>>68582780
this is pure elitism.
There's a reason why the selected songs are the most popular ones. And I can assure you that most of those terrifying normies don't know 2.5 hours of Rachmaninoff pieces so you can safely listen to them, phew.

>>68582796
I wasn't talking about an overview to start your analysis of a composer for your bachelor in music or whatever you do in this field, I was talking about an overview to get a feeling of what kind of music the composer creates. If you aren't into classical music you might have no idea if a piece is from Beethoven or Bach despite them being a century away from eachother.

>>68582798
not meaning to be condescending.

As an example, a Beethoven Best of would certainly have Für Elise and the Moonshine sonata, both which are immensely popular, but by far inferior to alot of his other works (Beethoven even said so himself). On the other hand, stuff like the Hammeklavier Sonata or the Große Fuge won't make their way into such collections.

Or for Bach, Best Ofs usually have that one violin Partita, that cello suite, the Aire, the Toccata etc, but the real signature compositions like his Goldberg variations or the Passacaglia and Fugue, or the beautiful Canatas.

Of course, those Best Ofs are good as a starter, but I'd take a deeper plunge into the oevre of a composer to find his really interesting works.

>>68582417

>>68582905
those guys are all fags im glad they aren't fucking up this thread

>>68582881
I agree that you obviously miss out on a lot of good stuff but I disagree that you miss out on better works. For example Bachs Prelude No. 1 is one of my favourite pieces despite the fact that it is extremely simple. You have stuff like the Große Fuge which I find really interesting to listen too and whch is obviously really complex but if you are simply looking for joy through music it definetly isn't superior to other stuff from Beethoven.
I see though that one should look beyond basic compilations. But if a composer really catches your attention you will probably do that anyways.

>>68582995
agreed, I really didn't mean to dismiss the smaller/simpler works as omittable. Making a simple piece stick with an audience is true genius.

People often tend to fall into that trap of listening to one compilation and then leave it at that, resulting in a rather cliche and superficial idea of a composer's oevre. If you like a composer, definitely dig deeper.

my fav simple piece (as in short and light-hearted):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24H6fWRcj44

Let's discuss Strauss family. Why are they so perfect?
https://my.mixtape.moe/phkvml.mp3

>>68583132
Strauß, not Strauss, I assume?

They're very proficient at instrumentation, and use folkloristic melodies.

>>68583132
I'm not really well versed. Which Strauss is this (I didn't really know there were several related ones)

>>68583132
That's just entertainment.

>>68583097
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjcYfJuLiXY

>>68583154
this should be Johann Strauß jr.
The only popular piece by his father is the Radetzi march by Johann Strauß senior.

Then there's Richard Strauss, who's not related to them at all.

And, basically this, >>68583162
but I didn't want to be called elitist again.

>>68583148
You say Tchaikovsky or Чaйкoвcки?

>>68583178
I mean write
https://my.mixtape.moe/mtrlup.mp3

>>68583178
the thing is, I'd rather call them father and son Strauß to make a clear distinction to Richard Strauss. I don't think there's another composer that tends to get mixed up with Peter Tchaikovsky.

>>68583210
Normally you would only be talking about Richard Strauss anyway because he's the only of them that matters.

>>68583250
yes, sure, ideally.

>>68583210
Don't forget about Josef and Edward

>>68583250
>Richard Strauss anyway because he's the only of them that matters
No.

>>68583283
right. I'm really not that much into folkloristic dance music.

>>68583331
in a context of concertant music, Richard Strauss is rather more prominent than the Waltz and Polka Strauß family, I dare say.

Why? Just curious.

Bonus points for no watered-down commercialist crap for uninformed masses.

>>68590756
Other stuff just doesn't interest me. It's not that I dislike it, just that I'm mostly ambivalent towards it.

I listened to metal in my teenage years, then the summer after my first year at uni I realised that everything I could conceivably want in a piece of music can be found in the realm of classical music, whether it be intellectual or emotional stimulation (and often the two are combined, which I can't say I've ever really encountered in other genres).

As I say, it's not done out a position of snobbery: I've listened to a lot of /mu/core in the past and can vaguely sustain a conversation about it, but it just doesn't grab my attention in the same way.

Not an argument.

>>68592139
Here's my argument: rock music is boring. Is that good enough for you?

Was Paganini good-tier or just a boring composer who could twiddle his fingers quickly?

>>68592139
Where is your argument confirming that classical music is pretentious and pathetic you twat?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPA31kvEUyY

if you want a laugh

>>68592236
good tier virtuoso, meh-tier composer.

>>68592236
He was able to twiddle his fingers in new and interesting ways which is pretty noteworthy. Wrote some nice themes which leant themselves very well to usage by other composers, but I can't say I know his music well enough to comment beyond that.

But dismissing virtuosity offhand as a bad thing is something I try to avoid. Yes, virtuosity can sometimes be used to cover shortcomings in music, but that isn't to say that is its only purpose.

Kindly leave this earth.

Am I supposed to understand what opera singers are singing? Yesterday I was at this concert where they inserted a couple of orchestral songs between two Beethoven symphonies, and I understood like 5 words total. They weren't even in a foreign language.

>>68610477

>>68610547
It wasn't Purcell, and I'm not even Anglo.

>>68609793
He was though

>>68609861
Goldberg

I like the structure. Every 3rd variation is a canon, with a constantly growing interval gap, and that quodlibet at the end - so nice.

Of course WTC is great, but Goldberg is more colorful and has more layers on top of the music itself. (and as a keyboard player, I'm slightly biased towards pieces that have à 2 clav parts)

Passacaglia and Fugue

Yes, the wedge might be more interesting as a composition. But again, p&f has some other qualities that makes it a significant work, since it's more or less the prototype passacaglia of the baroque era that inspired later composers, see passacagliae and fugae by Reger, Kosenko or Godowsky.

>>68610971
>since it's more or less the [...] passacaglia [...] that inspired later composers, see passacagliae and fugae by Reger, Kosenko or Godowsky.
I agree.
>prototype of the baroque era
No.

>>68611146
Prototype as in referenced most. There's lots more great passacagliae out there, mostly for harspichord, like Handel's G minor or Fischer's D minor passacaglia.

Well i wouldn't give her 1st prize myself, thought Okamoto should get it. But her Shostakovitch was way better than Bomsori's so at least im happy she didn't win.

>>68612869
They just gave it to her because she's a girl.

Just listened to A Child of Our Time and the only parts I liked were the Negro spirituals.

>the Wedge
has my favorite Bach fugue become /classical/'s too?

Just listened to Herreweghe's Bass in H moll. Very nice. THE Bach interpreter for choir + orchestra works

>>68615389
Le Grande Macabre, 6 Bagatelles for wind quintet, his requiem is great even if you're probably already familiar with it. Continuum, Atmosphères, Apparitions, Volumina.

the libretto is pretty good considering the writer was a composer who had no experience of writing text for an oratorio

Otherwise titty fucked a busty soprano tonight and don't give a fuck, thought I should share w/ classical

The Goldberg is mostly suicide inducing unless you're really into it

Did she sing while you fucked

>>68615699
no. she's not a very good singer. But has good boobies, so I went with it.

wrote stuff mostly about harsh weather, hunting, wooing nuns and fencing

he was a composer for a grill school because no one else would have him, please do not defend his mediocrity

Simply stop giving it so much importance.
>delete all
It only means you still think it's important. Just leave it be and then you will realise it's neither bad nor good, it is only what it is.

It's awful and realise that all the spiritual and intellectual fulfilment you can experience can be found in classical music

>>68615841

If you have a memory span of about ~30 seconds then Vivaldi is great, otherwise not worth your time

Its subtle. Thats my problem with it. you never know if he's humming or not. Its like the panopticon, he could be humming all the time, just very very quietly, but you would never know. Just the possibility of him humming ruins the experience.

Schiff is the superior Bach pianist

>>68616836
why would someone hum during recording in the first place?

>>68616811
>>68617251
Both are mediocre to awful Bach pianists and people need to recognize the superiority of Richter.
>>68617291
Autism. It's hardly noticeable most the time and is hardly the worst thing about Gould's performances.

Classical? I'd rather say shitsical.

I don't know much about classical music, but I'm /r/ing something that sounds like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kobaepcz2gA

>>68617251
weissenberg is better

>>68582656
I love reading along with the sheet music. It's actually my favorite way of listening to music.

>>68595583
Etudes, Sarcasms, and Peter and The Wolf, along with everyone else's suggestions.

>>68597895
Related to this, what were some good Greek composers other than Skalkottas and Xenakis? Why were there so few anyway?

>>68599806
If Adolphe Adam and John Adams had a child it would be Johlphe Adam(s).

>>68615389
Etudes, Piano Concerto, Musica Ricercata, Hungarian Rock, Sonata for Solo Cello

>>68617380

I need more pieces like Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain.

Yes. I understand classical singing in my language usually. The whole point is to get their voices to echo so that you can hear what they're singing better.

>>68617853
O Protomastoras is some good Greek music.

Anyone who likes classical music will at least appreciate Bach Beethoven or Mozart. But it's composers like Mahler, Rachmaninoff, Wagner, and the like, who are for those whom truly enjoy their classical music.

Both were manlets but Ravel could at least shave and made better music so my vote is on him

>tfw i cant find sheet music for my favourite current piece anywhere at all

>/classical/ is completely dead
SAD

>>68617399
lol i have asked this same question several times
anyway there's nothing like this, and even the pieces on the rest of the disc sound nothing like it
anyway did you hear this in humanite?
i still don't understand the point of that movie /not afraid to look dumb

Looking for something I heard on bandcamp about a year or two ago.

It was really nice strings, violin and clarinet, the album cover was some sort vector dressing with shades between grey and red.
It had a really haunting style, and the bands name was something sort of Gaelic or Celtic. Like Aether or some shit. I can't remember.

Someone please help me track it down and I will suck your cock.
