Scarlatti has nothing like the Goldberg Variations

I can't get into Wagner for the life of me.
Do I have to hate jews to get it?

No, you just have to have a reasonable attention span and a love for great music.

>>70351076
For me that's Schubert. I understand what I'm supposed to be listening for in his stuff but it doesn't make the journey any less boring lol

>>70351042
which scarlatti?

Sadly none of these. It was by a composer that i don't think is widely known. None of the relatively popular names. I think the name of the composer had double consonants like "dr"

It's like it at the tip of my tongue, but i just can't think of it.

I think the most defining thing about the recording (i think it's an original recording, not a recorded interpretation, thats why i think it's from the 2000s) was the sound of seagulls or other birds constantly in the background, like a swarm of birds traveling.

If it helps, i don't think they made any use of Pizzicato or Staccato on the strings, the strings mostly just played very harmonic, long chords, while brass played the more prominent loud accentuations.
The melody the flute plays basically goes up and down, if that makes sense

>>70351145
Death and the Maiden quartet isn't even slightly boring IMO

>>70351146
THe one mentioned in the poll...

I want to hear Brahm's Rhapsodies. Can anyone rec a good performer/album to listen to for this?

Even his songs which are only like 2 minutes long? I understand the symphonies at least because it's Classical repeats bullshit.

Anyone know any text written by composers on how they make music? I don't mean musical theory, just the creative process itself. Where they get their ideas, how they go about putting them on paper, etc
So far I was only able to find these:

Oh come on, everyone knows Rautavaara...

>>70351358
I was judging by how he described the music not trying to impress by how obscure my taste is like the majority here.

>>70351338
Oh my fucking god anon, this is it, thanks a bunch

>>70351358
I didn't know Rautavaara was a known composer.

This is totally tubular. I don't normally follow scores but I noticed Maria Callas singing melodies differently than other people. I have no idea how heavily embellished a lot of recordings must be.

>>70351525
He's probably the most famous of the late 20th century neo-romantics. He also died about a year ago and /classical/ was sad

He reminds me of David Tennant as The Doctor <3

Bach stole some guy's toccata & fugue, took credit for his wife's cello suites, and, worst of all, stamped his name on Petzold's masterpiece. The dude was a total fraud.

Banksy

Why come whenever I see all 12 semitones of a scale written out it's always with Bb, C#, Eb, F#, G# for the enharmonics?

Are there any pieces that inspire in you a feeling of dread or anxiety?

>>70351023
No single greatest but these are among them:
B Minor Mass
St Matthew Passion
Well Tempered Clavier
The Cantatas (start at the beginning)

>>70351076
Listen to the Immolation scene from Goetterdaemmerung and Wotan's farewell from Die Walkuere, if you only need convincing of Wagner's greatness.
