It seems like you guys hate Shostakovich. Why?

why are we so dead at the moment? Maybe if I make some bait threads to lure /mu/ into arguments we can get some of them here and we can evangelize

I'm surprised that wikipedia lists Alberich as a baritone role: I don't think I've ever heard him sung by anyone who didn't sound at least a bass-baritone

Pisendel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOOBpATkN64

>>74456169
Maybe the power required for wagnerian roles is more easily met by bass-baritones singing a little higher in their register/They might have more squillo in this register than a baritone would singing the same notes? I know nearly nothing about singing, though,

Mozart = underrated

>>74456505
Mozart is one of the most popular composers of all time. How is he overrated?

>>74456598
Underrated, even.

>>74458337
no, mozart was romantic

I'm 21, I've never played an instrument before, but want to learn... Is it too late for me familia?

Have a nice chunk of income to get a tutor every week at the most.

But getting a tutor I've heard is the toughest part.

H-hey guys, I don't know if this is the correct place to ask but does anyone know the name of the song that starts at 2:10? I've tried Shazam and I've gotten 3 different results and none of them are right and it's not in the track list and /a/ was no help.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ICUnbipiN64

Is it just improvisation? I thought it could be classical since later on in this episode they use Chopin's Heroic Polonaise Op. 53

>>74458559
IMO the biggest difference between starting an instrument as an adult instead of a child is the self-awareness that you, as a beginner, sound like absolute dogshit, for months. It's difficult to get past and you'll likely never equal someone who started young without intense daily practice, but if you've got the money, then why not?

>>74458559
>>74459254
Also rent an instrument, but make sure it's not crappy, otherwise you'll be hurting yourself. Not sure if there's a place that has non-shitty rentals for cheap, tho.

Yikes. That is not a flattering Khachataurian photo angle desu. He looks like a fish.

>>74455708
No, we don't.

>>74458337
He was literally autistic. Also "Lick My Ass" was never intended for public performance.

Haydn is so underrated...by plebs

>>74458559
This same question again. No, if you truly have will power and interest it is not too late for that.

>>74459684
The Classical era as a whole is underrated.

>>74459684
the sound of silence

>>74459684
There are actually people snobbish enough to discount Haydn because his works are accessible. As if having beautiful and memorable melodies were a bad thing

I used to prefer baroque but after I heard Haydn's symphony 103 I preferred classical era.

One of the most hilarious mishmashes of musical styles I've heard. The cadenza is fucking hilarious--I'm not sure anyone else knew what he'd be doing.

>>74463598
God, I hate Goulda's compositions. I guess he'll get a free pass, given how unbelievably good he is and was as a pianist, especially in his youth.

>>74463598

That's because it had a grand total of 10 composers that actually mattered

>>74463963
I just listened to this on Tuesday, wtf.

>>74463982
Biber was a fucking giant

>>74463976

I challenge you to name 10 composers from the classical era without googling

>>74464018
I can think of 11 actually
Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Salieri, Boccherini, Paganini, Rossini, Gluck, Von Weber, Clementi, Cimarosa
Some of them are borderline romantic though

>>74464018
Mozart
JS Bach
Haydn
uh, Haydn
Haydn
Haydn
Haydn
Haydn
Is this 10 yet

>>74464060
Beethoven, Paganini, Rossini, Von Weber are romantic

>>74464066
>JS Bach
Baroque

>>74464075
more like precursors

>>74464084
Whoops, I meant good ole JC Bach

>>74464086
no, totally romantic

>>74464095
>>74464086 is right

>>74464125
what stops them from being romantic composers?

>>74464125
no, he should name totally 18th century style classical composers like Mozart, Haydn, Gluck and JC Bach and he couldn't

>>74464154
To be honest I feel as though you could have just named Bach's children until you had enough

Classical was a mistake. Baroque music had been developing varying styles in many different directions, french, german, spanish, italian, english baroque, and then classical came along to force music into an ideal, perfect form. It is amazing that anyone managed to write anything unique under those strictures, they may have killed their own genre. Romanticism was able to struggle out of that straight jacket but the music is for ever cursed with that title.

how long have you been playing and how have you managed to avoid learning how to find repertoire at this point?

>>74465230
Mozart, Strauss(both of them) and Haydn all wrote good horn concertos
Beethoven and Dvorak used the horn quite a bit in their symphonies
If you are actually good (don't know why you would be asking this question) you can play either the 1st or 2nd part of Konzerstuck for Four Horns by Schumann

What's the appeal of serialism

>>74463963
Wow, Justin Bieber is talented.

>>74466694
Good music.

You have to listen differently than other classical music. Don't listen for memorable melodies or chords that deliver a happy or sad emotion, listen for interesting sounds, interesting combinations. Listen for textures and timbres and unusual chords.

>>74464240
Classical is mostly about pandering to the upper classes. Giving them something relaxing to listen to and take their minds of the revolution/s.

It did have important developments in form and the strengthening of the orchestra. Without classical period there would be no romantic symphony or symphony orchestra.

>>74462043
I prefer 103. There used to be a version on youtube with Ton Koopman as conductor. I think that's better than the versions that are up on youtube now. A bad thing is it has a few cracking sounds in the recording. It seems to have been played on a French TV program with children in the audience. Only place I can find it now is here, and it seems you have to pay.

>>74466250
I played throughout middle and high school but unfortunately haven't played since. Repertoire was always given to us.

>>74467072
I played trumpet in school. Got tired of it. I'm thinking maybe because you can only play single notes on a trumpet. I'm thinking of starting violin or piano now at age 33. Don't know if I'll have the motivation though.

Mozart's 3rd horn concerto is great.
