Always listened to a lot of things: punk, indie, soul, reggae, idm, trance, techno etc. I don't really listen to pop but it seems to me to be more complex than ever, picking and choosing elements from all over. Doesn't necessarily make it good but I don't think it lacks complexity.

Well yes I suppose diversity is a better word for it. The underlying song might be just something simple, three chords or a beat, but the shifts in tone that the different elements give make the songs sound more complicated than the average popsong from 30 years back.

Rarely. I heard a lot growing up - goodman, miles davis, glenn miller, and some boogie-woogie era stuff. My parents would listen to anything from Bach and Telemann to Django Reinhardt, Bob Marley and Bjork.
I occasionally listen to Avishai Cohen trio but jazz doesn't really interest me these days - its good chilled background music, but I pretty much exclusively listen to Bach or Renaissance polyphony. No fugues or carefully composed 4+ part polyphony and it just isn't enough to hold my attention.

I will sometimes listen to new works that appear as part of the SOUNZ films, but not many contemporary composers are doing things I like. I did go through periods of listening a lot to Grisey, Murail, Ferneyhough, Schnittke et. al. but they lack the beauty of renaissance music and the interlocking charm of Bach.

Most of the time I write more music than I listen to. I've spent 20+ years absorbing music of all genres, now I just want to do my own thing.

Schoenberg ruined music. SDF is about to get BTFO

At the beginning of the 20th century, an evil man named by the name of Arnold Schoenberg claimed that tonal music, as characterized from Bach through Brahms, had simply been exhausted. There was nothing more to say in that language, so he had to LIBERATE MUSIC FROM THE SHACKLES OF TONALITY and introduce atonality, and later serial music. Which pretty much killed music in the 20th century.

It was a lie. It was a lie based on a reductionist concept of music. Schoenberg said that music consists of chord progressions and that there's only so many chords you can make and soon you'll exhaust them. That was his argument. Well, IF music consisted only of chord progressions, there might be some merit to that argument though I doubt it. But if you look at music this way: the scientific investigation into generating new ordering principles in music, then it's exhaustible. What Schoenberg and his associates did to music, is to my mind, a crime.
>>
>>74929040
your entire post is a lie.

Everyone was breaking tonality in Schoenberg's time.
He just happened to take all the chaotic "breaking of the rules" and create some rules to work within, allowing composers to use patterns and logic instead of just going crazy.

Pretty sure Schoenberg never any of the things you claim he said. Please provide citations and/or actual quotes from Schoenberg.

Mahler and Strauss are just as much to blame for "breaking" tonal music. Strauss' Elektra and Mahler's stretching tonality - for example his shriek chord in the 10th symphony.

Wagner is the real one to blame for "breaking tonality" he went so chromatic that keys no longer seemed to matter.

Didn't Bach already do that?
>>
>>74935732
Tonality is more like an artificial system imposed on music at the start of the baroque which people have been struggling to work within or escape from ever since. Except in the classical era when they loved that shit and they believed they were imitating the regularity of greco-roman music, which they actually knew nothing about.
>>
>>74935732
Bach never went as far as Wagner. He definitely has some chromatic passages, but usually heads back to standard harmony and keys before too long.
>>
>>74917818
Mostly Zappa, punk and 1940s big band jazz.

Music from different traditions can be compared, but only in technical terms. It generally doesn't tell you anything about the quality of the music, however. Classical music isn't popular music isn't Indian raga isn't . It's largely fruitless cultural ladder climbing, like when people try to make out that video game soundtracks or heavy metal are "the new classical". It's stupid.

And yes, popular music has demonstrably been simplified, although by its nature it was never particularly complex. Compare any popular song from the 1930s with one from the 2010s, it's almopst guaranteed that the former will be an actual composition while the latter will be a four bar drum loop with sound effects and extremely basic chord sequences (note sequences and not progressions, because they don't use functional harmony). Simplification of the music may be correlated with the increase in elaborateness of music videos from the 1980s onwards. Hip hop also shoulders some of the responsibility, its format has become standard for almost all western pop music.

>mfw someone uses the sustain pedal in Bach

Bach never wrote music to use a sustain pedal, the sustain pedal did not exist in Bach's time, and any pianist that uses pedal in Bach (with the minor exception of the A minor fugue in Book 1 of the WTC which was expressly written for Organ) is doing a great disservice to the music of Bach.

It is the equivalent of trying to talk with one's mouth full. Bach's music demands clarity and articulation, and when lesser pianists rely on the sustain pedal, they are betraying Bach not just the composer, but Bach the Man as well.

even that isn't a satisfactory argument because an instrument such as the harpsichord, though better suited for the Goldberg Variations or Italian Concerto, is not the proper instrument for the Well Tempered Clavier due to the markings of "appoggiatura" throughout. A harpsichord cannot replicate an appoggiatura due to the lack of dynamics on the instrument.

The clavichord (Bach's favorite instrument), the piano, and the Organ are the best instruments for WTC.

wagner vs schönberg is like ptolemaic vs copernican mindset.

even if wagner technically contributed to the paradigm shift, his music was still ptolemaic (human as center/focus of the musical universe).
a pure copernican composer pursues the idea that there can be autonomous music without a special relation to human bio-reality.

>they can create dynamics by altering the music and the intent of the work

An appoggiatura cannot be replicated on a harpsichord, period. It requires the player to contrast two notes at differing volumes, which can't be done on a harpsichord.

>Not paying attention to Furtwängler, who was rehearsing a symphony, Rachmaninoff sat down at the piano, looked at his watch, and thunderously struck a few chords. Perplexed, Furtwängler stopped. He looked at Rachmaninoff, who showed his watch and said, ‘My rehearsal time was ten-thirty.’ With no further exchange the rehearsal of the concerto commenced. After five minutes or so, Rachmaninoff walked to the conductor’s stand and began to conduct. The orchestra had two conductors – Furtwängler, bewildered, and Rachmaninoff, swearing in Russian.

As mainstream hip hop became the pop music of our age it also became more and more sterile, sort of like how rock 'n' roll was the sterilised form of rhythm 'n' blues. Having said that, I've yet to hear hip hop of any sort that doesn't use a simple loop format. Complexity may be lyrically desirable in certain genres of hip hop, but it seems that it will always be a musically simplistic tradition.

They played Joseph Martin Kraus string quartet in E major VB 180 third movement performed by the Salagon Quartet on the radio recently. I really liked it. Wasn't on youtube so I had to purchase it on google play. There's a free preview of one minute or something if you click the play button. It's track number 9. What do you think?

Does anybody have this "Beethoven (Gold Classics)" album?

Or any of the other Gold Classics of other composers would be nice too.

Thank you in advance.

Are the pieces in the compilation I posted included in your collection?

How much space do they take?
>>
Why would anyone want a cheapo Beethoven comp anyway?

>>74954140
I'm an extreme noob when it comes to classical, and I stumbled upon this compilation and liked some of the pieces in it.
I'll get into it seriously later, but for the time being I'd lke to enjoy those.

Piano quartet #1

first time back in this general in months

it looks like the general shitposting has somewhat died down and people are actually having discussions again with the exception of the autistic weebs who are still as obnoxious as ever

these threads would be ten times better without you retards. enjoying anime and engaging with art music are two completely exclusive lifestyles and pretending to "partake" in both only makes you look like a charlatan and a fraud. baroqueshitter needs to fucking neck himself jesus fucking christ get a clue you dipshit

what happened to bogposter? god that's weird to think about after the incessant quick rundown memes. i hope he's doing ok.

And then what?
What are the most important books you need to read during college to become a composer?
>>
>>74956378
>And then what?
Those are a pretty good start if you're not at college/uni.
Studying composition at University is much more than just reading books (in fact, there was very little of that). Its mostly studying scores and trying out actually composing for real players.

Our composition classes consisted of score study, including listening to the music. Everything from Palestrina to Vivaldi to Bartok and Penderecki, and then assignments which were to write X piece for Y instrumentation. Usually we would get the pieces played by performance students. So in the first month or so of composition classes we wrote a piano and they were all rehearsed and then played to us in class.
Its this hands-on experience that is the most important part of a composers education. You can learn a lot from books, and its a good idea to read about composition for the rest of your life, but actually writing music and hearing it rehearsed and played by real people will make you a better composer - you will be able to translate what you want to hear into a score that will produce what you wanted to hear, filtered through performers.

Every time you write a piece and get it played by real people you learn something about their instruments, or combinations, or limitations, etc. There will be successful parts of your piece and unsuccessful parts. Each time you go through the process of having a piece rehearsed and performed you will get better at composing and learn a little more.

You never really stop learning with composing, even when you're an old man. Often old professors at composition workshops will take new things away or be introduced to new ideas or new limitations of specific instruments or ensembles.

The one book I would recommend if you want to write for orchestra is Samuel Adler's "The Study of Orchestration", as it's pretty in-depth and comes with a bunch of audio CDs which are paired with score examples in the book.
Since orchestration is all about sound and how the score relates to what you hear, actual examples of what things sound like are vital to learning about it.

You will never know what a "dark" voiced chord sounds like unless you actually listen to one, or the differences in timbre when instruments change register, and how you can combine different instruments at different pitches to create certain colors.
The special effects (although most in that book are common romantic era effect, not so much 1960s+) are also very important to get a good grasp of.

Once again, reading the book will only give you so much - It will give you an understanding of what kind of things are possible with orchestration, and combined with score study you can then easily hit certain tropes, but in order to develop your own voice you will need to get pieces rehearsed and performed (and ideally recorded) by real orchestras.

University is great because it gives you an environment where you will be working with players and in close contact with composers who know the pitfalls and how to do a bunch of things, and which composers to look at for x style or effects.
University will also show you a lot of opportunities - things like composition competitions and composition workshops (both usually resulting in having a piece performed and/or recorded), so its a really good idea if you seriously want to be a composer.

I am actually planning on going back to university to get a music degree, but I'll never be a composer, I'm more interested in musicology and analysis.
I have a master's in maths, so I might not go through with this and keep studying music as a hobby.
