why didn't you tell me about this version of Allegri's Miserere before /classical/?
>>
>>73274874
because the Allegri is the memiest piece around. Although this particular recording is interesting because it doesn't go for the usual "aesthetic" we associate with the piece.

Still, I have an aversion to the piece based on the fact that for a depressing amount of people it is what they think of as representative of Renaissance music when it isn't.

Why did I have to pick opera as my niche? There's so many voices to take into account not including singers, and all the good ones are from the Romantic period that is incomprehensible without knowing how things worked a hundred years before then, not to mention that these pieces are three hours long.

Thanks ever so much, anon for your very constructive accolades and also your very keen insight into what are probably misfires here and there in what I was trying to accomplish. First the orchestration: yes, true. On reflection once I put out this video I had some misgivings about certain things I'd done in the orchestration and changed them. Seems I will never get a final version because every time I read through the score I end up making a few more changes here and there. I'd never had any formal education in orchesrating something. I was basically just winging it based on years of readings orchestral scores of my favorite orchestral works. But nothing is a substitute for a good grounding in a classroom with a good teacher. Now to your very insightful observations:
1. yes, it's true I got the orchestration texture too thick here probably way down in the bases and cellos, if you're referring to that arching melody played by the violins. But I was up against making it sound too much like Rachmaninoff and the problem is that if I'm going to imitate someone why not go all the way instead of using half-measures that only gum up the sound.
2. The 1st mov. reveals a obvious structural weakness and that is that I have all these themes that run one into another without any really good allocations to the piano. As you point out, both the main theme, the secondary theme AND that strings under horn soft passage are all done by the orchestra. I didn't give the piano enough room to breathe on its own with a few solo passages rather than the couple of cadenzas it's allocated. It's something I'll have to seriously ponder should I decide to completely redo the entire concerto.
>>
>>73292890
3. Yes, I think I ran out of what to give the piano after that cadenza to the upper register but I wanted to get one last statement of the opening motif in before closing the movement. I actually thought this would be a separate concerto because I composed this backwards (4-3-2-1) and this was the last movement I'd written before deciding I just didn't want to get involved with a 3rd Concerto.
4. Well, you caught some things that others have caught as well: that I wrote out of the range of certain instruments out of negligence. One person caught that I'd written below the range of the viola starting at mm 35 which I hastily thanked him for and corrected.
There's no doubt I'll have to fix several things as I read the score more and more, which is why I have four revisions on YT. But people were so kind to me I just didn't want to delete their comments. And once again, thanks much to you as well, Sam for pointing a lot of this out to me. Write again if you have suggestions. They're very much appreciated. PS After Op 3 I just gave up composing. I didn't feel I had any real talent and musicians simply don't want ultra-Romantic music. It's just not taken seriously.

>>73293772
Thanks much for sharing, John. I have to reluctantly agree with you. I'm kind of like the kid who starts composing in his favorite style when he's 16, emulating his favorite composers and styles, usually Romantic ones. Except I got a really late start after having been in the business world for a number of years, only recently coming back to music in 2005, first to do some piano videos here on YouTube which weren't too good and then turning to composing to fulfill a teen ambition to write a piano concerto. I love Liebermann's 2nd Concerto too. He is a pro, of course, and has had a varied career so he's built a solid reputation. I'm a kind of musical chameleon; because of my musical knowledge I could write in nearly any style including ultra modern but I don't see these concertos going anywhere (Liebermann's 2nd is a rare exception) after they've been given their splashy premiere...Ronald Brautigam premiered a modern piano concerto by a composer about ten years ago whose name I cannot even recall. I've never heard it since. The name doesn't even come up when I google "RB gives premiere of new piano concerto by..." So unfortunately I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. That's the state of music today.

Somebody post some good Bartok

Here's a nice contemporary piece by John Luther Adams- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGva1NVWRXk
>>
Saw Suzuki with a chamber group and a few soloists last night - Full concert of Bach pieces. not bad, although not my favorite pieces. Orchestral suites 1 and 3, Concerto for 2 violins in D minor and an extract from Cantata 82a "Ich habe genug"
The concerto for 2 violins was pretty decent, and the sound quality overall was 10/10 - could hear everything and it was quite a small venue, packed out. The soloist for the cantata extract was pretty good and there were certainly some magical moments. Still can't complain too much about an entire concert of Bach. The Orchestral suites, while not being my favorite pieces are still quite charming and had nice moment, well played even if the bassoonist sounded like a bleating goat at times.
Nice to hear period oboes, flutes and bassoons too - they have a great sound that is perfect for Bach.

>>73282970

This was the first Bartok piece our professor showed us. he had studied at the Bartok archives in Hungary and was a bit of a Bartok nut:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATQIBolNstc
His string quartets are still considered one of the high points of 20th century chamber music:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTnbrLXEGjI
Can be difficult listening if you're not used to somewhat harsh dissonance. Might be worth starting from the first quartet if this one is too much for you.

Well, I don't think everyone would quite agree with your hasty assessment. I showed it around to a few conductors. One conductor of a pro orchestra told me, "JJ, it's a beautiful concerto but I could never get this approved by the Symphony's Board of Directors because to give this a premiere would cost the orchestra somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 to 300-thousand dollars with salaries, rehearsal time, auditorium rent, publicity, cost of a pianist to learn it (I don't play piano anymore) parts reproduction for the musicians, and a dozen more things." So after hearing that I pretty much came to the realization that the only way this was ever going to be premiered would be if a miracle happened like Lang Lang stumbled onto it and said, "I love this! JJ can I premiere it?" Lang Lang, are you reading this? Dream on, JJ, dream on!

Thank you much, anon for your very kind critique and for sharing the video. This sound quality is terrible because the screen capture program I used seriously mutilated the sound. The SoundCloud audio is much much better. Yes, the orchestra comes on strong in that opening theme. Balancing the sound is pretty difficult because the mixer works on whole movements and not measures, so once I set the piano at a certain strength it has to stay that way even if it gets swamped by the orchestra in certain spots. Glad you like the neo-Romantic genre. I, too, don't care for the modernistic stuff too much. Some of it is horrible, but contemporary Romantic music is not taken seriously these days unfortunately, which is why only a few of us write it. Musescore is a good free program. If you have the money try either Noteflight for $59/yr or Notion4 for $299. I use Notion because it is the best sound for the least money. If you have any questions run them by me. I'll try to answer them. Good luck. J Joe

Hi anon, nice to heart from you again. You're a sweetheart. Thanks so much for your encouraging words. I'm always glad when someone tells me they enjoyed listening to the concerto because then it lets me know someone is appreciating it and then I feel like all the work going into it wasn't in vain. There is a new audio of it labeled "2016" which is a much better audio than the one attached to the orchestral score which got murdered in the screen capture process. The 2016 has the 3rd waltz movement removed because it was transferred to my Opus 3 "Ghostly Waltzes" which are 4 waltzes with a spooky atmosphere. Hope you have a listen to it. It's my trailer video on my Youtube Homepage but might not play for returning subscribers. You might have to click on it to get it going. Hope you enjoy it as well. Stop by once in a while and say hi. I'd love to know what you're doing. The life of a composer is....well...lonely as hell. ;-) Take care in the meantime.

I certainly did enjoy writing this one much more than I did the 1st Concerto as I'd never written anything before it and getting the hang of orchestrating was a challenge. But if you've read the bio info above you'll note I've wanted to write a piano concerto since high school, but I never got around to it after severely injuring my finger and then giving up music for most of my life. But I digress. I actually got it written rather quickly after my extreme disappointment of not being able to accomplish what I'd intended to do in the 1st Concerto. I immediately dove in right after completion of the 1st and wrote the first draft in a matter of 3 months or so which is the one on YouTube labeled "2014 version" This video was the 1st revision a year later and then came the audio labeled "2016 Revision" in which I dropped the waltz movement and made it a traditional 3-movement concerto. It WAS inspired by the Rach 2nd, my favorite piano concerto, and does have elements of both composers in it owing to its neo-Romanticism which also makes it radioactive far as hopes for a premiere goes. As one semi-famous conductor I showed it to noted, "Yes, it's lovely, J, but do we really need a 5th Rachmaninoff Concerto?" Thanks again__JJ

I see what you are saying. It is a shame there is such a divide between traditional composition and modern electronic composition, good luck, anon.

Thank you, anon. Yes, I self-taught myself. While in business for years I read orchestral scores in my leisure time to keep music notation/transposition/etc alive in my mind and to learn how great composers did what they did. I still have a whole closet-full of Dover editions of all the major orchestral works. So I just wrote the concertos in my mind first and then transferred them to score, changing a flute to a clarinet, etc until I got the sounds in my head reproduced in audio.

Thanks so much, anon, you really made my otherwise boring Saturday night a real treat for me. I rarely get such nice comments. There are several on my description but they are collected over 2-3 years and are strictly for promotional purposes, not to brag or anything. It is SOOOOOOOOO difficult to interest a pianist in doing a romantic contemporary concerto these days. They are anathema to the music industry. No pianist has expressed an interest in doing them so I've all but given up. I'll write something if it pops into my mind but I've been dry for awhile. Trying to keep my spirits up. Thanks much for your uplifting comments. Keep in touch.

Yes it was, but after listening to Schiff's version for the last 3 or 4 months pretty much every weekend at work, I decided it should be on the chart.

Don't know, how should i test this? I can instantly hear if something is off key, even a little
>do you like microtonal music?
Not really

They never get performed because they fucking suck.

>>73303444
>how should i test this?

Here is 2 pairs of notes:
https://clyp.it/5szjeh5n

the first note in each pair is normal, the second note will be either 1 cent higher or 1 cent lower.
If you can tell which it is, let me know what the direction of the mis-tuning is for each pair.

If you're mostly right, its likely your hearing is accurate down to the cent, which is pretty decent.

Is the Mozart hate a meme? New to /classical/, genuine question.
>>
>>73305512
There will always be Mozart hate from those who are frustrated that they haven't yet reached the point where they even partially understand Mozart's genius. It's just a phase that most people eventually outgrow; those who don't are referred to in common parlance as "pseuds"

Mozart probably would play metal, not even trying to troll here. The only reason he played classical is because piano and shit was all the musical instruments they had back then. It was either piano if you were a solo artist or an entire orchestra if you wanted to play in a band.
once mozart got hold of a true electric guitar he would probably compose some kick ass metal shreds and form a metal band unlike any you ever seen. I would describe his sound as somehwhere as a mix between metallica, pantera, and slayer, definitely some heavy stuff but I feel like he would go a different route and as his music evolves you would hear more lead badass solos and less rhythmic heavy riffs.
His later works would probably be almost entirely shredding solos played underneath screaming vocals that would go together like bread and wine. It would be beautiful masterpieces I wouldn't even be able to describe, but imagine the most eligant and beatiful guitar tone imaginable shredding so fast he goes through every scale ever invented, and then goes beyond that into scales that haven't even been thought of yet that require a 15 string guitar to even play.

Because he's the only classical musician you know of?

Do you get bored of your favourite music if you listen to it too much? I try to reduce the amount of times I listen to my favourite music because I'm scared I will get bored of it. Am I just being stupid?
