Stealing is wrong, Anonymous, especially when you steal from someone who does valuable work for relatively little profit.

>bullying an autistic anime fag just because he uploads some baroque shit to his youtube channel
at least he lists the performers/ensemble. If anything, it's good for promoting.

>>72593063
Pretty autistic desu. That'd actually matter if the videos were monetized.

>>72593206
It makes no difference: you're still stealing from a small company that's most likely operating at a loss. But autistics are typically poor at empathizing with others, so I understand.

HIP is a meme

What is it about threads with OPs that are not shitposts that kills discussion so hard? Or is everyone too busy with final exams to post? The previous one also died pretty fast and its OP was pretty shitposty.

As soon as I found out about her and saw her in a photo I thought she is waifu bait. At least she seems pretty self-aware of the fact that her being a beautiful woman has helped in getting her known (see video above, she subtly hints at it). She wastes a lot of energy acting cute on stage instead of properly cuing the players. Example:

So how do frenchfags justify the fact that Germans were better at composing French overtures than the french?

Can anyone upload Taruskin's Text and Act? Some people were talking about it last thread and I'm interested.

this baroque weeb autist needs to fuck off

anime is invariably dogshit and so is just about everything written before Mozart (with exceptions but almost never whatever he posts)

nah, the problem with the previous thread was the OP was the most tryhard shit imaginable. I had to waste time on google to figure out who the fuck Lou Salome is and what she had to do with Nietszche and if that picture is real.

and I still didn't get what any of this has to do with classical music until I remembered where those notes are from.

I bet it was that pompous animeposter who made the OP fuck him.

Stop using anime bashing to hide just how much of a plebeian you are faggot. (You're sadly right about Baroque-kun; 9 out of 10 times he posts glorified pop music -- liberally ornamented melodies over a bass line.)

She starts with how she got into music, how many of her relatives are musicians, how being a woman conductor is different (the typical feminist spiel), some marketing-style bullshit about how she's more interested in collaborating with the orchestra than dictating to it, and the rest I don't know because I closed the video three and a half minutes in. There's nothing interesting in it.

>get more people in here
Why would you want to do that?

Alright, /classical/.

What's the best new piece you've discovered recently?
Good new performance of something you like?
Anything scheduled that you're looking forward to?

>>72596633
>best new piece
I've been listening to a fair bit of Franck. It's all fairly easy to listen to, but well-crafted. His piano quintet is interesting enough, and his Seven Last Words has some nice moments as well

Not really any concerts I'm attending. I'm starting rehearsals for a production of Cunning Little Vixen soon, which should be pretty great because Janacek.

>>72596722
Hopefully no retarded gay robots plague your production
Cunning Little Vixen is great fun, I think it's often overlooked because of House, but it's a pretty solid opera too.

>>72596722

>>72596742
It's being slightly reimagined to take place in a modern era (i.e. Forester isn't living in a hut in a forest but rather operating from an office), but animals are still animals etc. Lots of interesting usage of paper/origami too. Although the way Janacek lays out rhythm and tonality in the score is a real headache and often needlessly complicated.

>>72596781
This is a neat ballet. and it should be played with the full act more often Just listening to it I get some dance ideas (brb, grabbing my pillow).

I try really hard to like 20th century compositions but I feel nothing about them.

>>72597242
What've you tried so far?

>>72597342
Schnnitke (mostly his chamber music), some Scelsi, Ligeti, Xenak'is.

>>72597361
Xenakis*

>>72597361

try some stravinsky or shostakovich.

>>72597404
I like them better; sorry for not making it clear but I had in mind the more avant-garde, post war composers.

>>72597424

John Cage then?

>>72597448
Well, at least the ones I mentioned made actual music.

>>72597464

>wants avant-garde
>"John Cage isn't music"

??????????

>>72597472
I don't want avant-garde, I said I tried to like but it's not my cup of tea apparently.

>>72597424
I'm at a loss then. What is it about, say, Ligeti that leaves you hanging? What is it that you seek in music?

>>72591580
seating according to early Boulez: just fuck my concert hall up

>>72597567
Structure, I like rigidly structured music which I guess is why I'm drawn to baroque and classical most of the time.

>>72597600
Anon, now I'm at an even bigger loss because if it is anything, Ligeti's music is very intricately structured. If what you want is rigidly structured work where the basic building block is a clearly audible pitch, and one that doesn't come off as an instance of neo* recidivism, you're shit out of luck.

>>72597849
To be fair I only listened to Ligeti a couple of times.

>>72595480

>>72595562
Nietzsche was a composer so it was classical related.

>>72595562
hardly. Unless it's something like that Beyonce memery, then the OP is not going to significantly affect the thread traffic. It's all about time of day and whether there is potential for conversation happening

I like Ligeti's music a lot myself. I think he's another antibody against serialism. So, I don't know. You have to unlearn the habit of looking for a clearly identifiable melodic structure, and follow the resulting sound mass as it changes instead. At least that's what I'm doing when I'm listening to his music and other music like it (e.g. spectralist compositions). Ligeti's music is very dense, it's impossible to perceive all its layers in performance.
You should give up on Xenakis though. The thing with Xenakis' compositions is that their structure is not "music-y". He's more interested in replicating various general patterns with sound. He has his own idiosyncratic definition / goal for music. He's more interesting for the challenges that he raises and the methods that he uses than the end results, although he did occasionally produce stuff that sounds good by itself.

Schnittke's hodgepodge / recapitulation of previous composition styles can yield the occasional interesting piece, like the Gogol Suite. A similar 20th century composer is Charles Koechlin, although Koechlin tries to mask his collage-like method. The Seven Stars' Symphony is pretty neat --
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW-1uigZ-14
(I think it's worth linking again.)

I'm apathetic towards Scelsi myself, and I think people like Cage and Varèse were more interested in their own notoriety than making music.

But anyway, how does one get into this kind of music? I really don't know.

Which isn't quite right, since 199 exists

What's your favouite compositional technique?
The more I listen to classical music the more I become a sucker for canons.

From 1.30, one of my favourite contemporary canons.
