I'm soon going to take a large dose of tryptamines and phenethylamines. What should I listen to while tripping? About 97% of all classical music I've listened to was piano music so I'm not very familiar with orchestral pieces. Only romantic, post-romantic and modern recommendations please.

So what do you guys think of cunts who try to conduct from the piano in a piano concerto? I don't even care if they have bona fides as a conductor, it just looks stupid and irresponsible to me. What is the orchestra supposed to look at, your head?
>>54831024
idk in stuff like mozart or bach, it's definitely feasible. the more complex the tempi, the more a conductor would be needed
>>54831298

>>54831024
That's how it was done in those days. Same with organ in church, Bach would sit at the organ and play, conducting minimally and relying on (probably) good communication with his head chorister who would then act as a sort of conductor

>Gesner describes him . . . attending to everything at once and, from a group of thirty or even forty musicians, reminding one of the rhythm and beat by nodding his head, another by stamping his foot, and a third by wagging his finger; giving the right note to one with the top part of his voice, another with the bottom, and a third with the middle; moreover, though he is but one man, with the hardest role of all, while the performers combine to make a great deal of noise, nonetheless noticing immediately if anything sounds wrong, and what is wrong; and holding them all together in due order, stepping in at any point and putting right any unsteadiness, carrying the rhythm in every limb; one man testing every harmony with his sharp ear, one man producing every voice from the confines of his one throat.

Can you at least do some minimal research before spouting obvious nonsense?

i dont understand lachenmann works are structured
all i hear is a bunch of cool sounds but kind of unrelated
>>54832925
it is related but in a more abstract way.
http://mpr-online.net/Issues/Volume%205%20%5B2012%5D/Orning.pdf
you can think as the elements being related to each other in a pure timbral sense, on a spectrum of super noisy to pure tones. the score looks like it's in a proportional notation. also, it seems like the score is more related to the actions of the performer rather than the actual sound. so it is structured, but in a less exact way.
>>54832925
also, since it's a solo piece, it's naturally going to be freer and more exploratory in one sense. lachenmann's chamber works are pretty rhythmic and each part plays off of each other a lot.

if you want to really go by its original usage, "romantic" WAS a term used to describe Mozart's music by his contemporaries. There was an old saying (paraphrased): "Haydn speaks to your head, Mozart speaks to your soul"
Is Debussy the worst thing to happen to Western Art Music?

certain repertoire he is
>>54827039
Yeah, >>54833681 is right, Haydn and Mozart were considered the original Romantics, and the latter features prominently in Romantic literature. The "A" in ETA Hoffmann stands for "Amadeus".
>>54834479
>certain repertoire he is

>>54833810
Nah, if you want to hate on modernism, hate on Liszt.
>>54834512

>>54831298
>idk in stuff like mozart or bach, it's definitely feasible. the more complex the tempi, the more a conductor would be needed
Actually, Mozart's more symphonic concerti profit more from a dedicated conductor than lots of later concerti where the orchestra plays a lesser role (like Mendelssohn's or Hummel's).
On the other hand I know stories where the concertmaster/voice leaders actually had to take over giving the cues because the conductor was so incompetent. Minkowski (who, like countless other HIP "conductors", has zero conducting training) was utterly incapable of conducting the finale of Brahms' 1st piano concerto (which is really difficult rhythmically), so the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, who do have a lot of experience playing without conductors, took over.
>>54834479
yeah, i'm already trying to learn it on my own anyway, this just gives me more motivation
Schubert's Piano Sonata in A minor, D. 845 is really cool, especially the circle progression that veils the start of the first movement's recapitulation
>>54834515
Yeah the chart does lack Schoenberg players, though there's a great Piano Concerto with Brendel and Maderna.
>>54834810
Also the dramatic reinterpretation of the bII's dominant into an augmented sixth chord before the march-rhythm transition starts
>>54834810
>>54834863
I managed to hear a live performance of the B-flat sonata recently. It's the first time I've really sat through an entire one of his sonatas...I don't know why but they've never really grabbed me. I enjoyed the performance but I still feel like the Sonata lacked a sort of latching interest throughout, but rather just at certain points.
>>54834863
Somehow the juxtaposition of that serious main theme and the march reminds me of Mahler
>>54834881
Yeah, I also think the last sonatas in particular meander more than is good for them. I prefer the smaller piano pieces, where he doesn't distend sonata forms in that manner. The A minor sonata is a lot more compact though, give it a try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvta3QA5A7c
>>54834904
yeah I definitely appreciate this sonata a lot more just from the first movement. Much more focused, and as you said less wandering.
>>54834904
Wow, and the coda, how the march is turned sinister. Really Mahlerian. It also has something rondo-like, due to how frequently the main theme returns verbatim.
Believe the hype
such lush nuanced playing from Hahn...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcGt9AFlIPY
i must learn this, shit
>>54835185
just don't do it for Saxophone choir like the atrocious arrangement by ESP
god, what a travesty
>>54835197
saxophone choirs/quartets are the worst combinations of instruments generally. solo/duos are usually okay though. I'm probably going to learn it for classical guitar, but I might learn on electric guitar or cello idk
>>54835259
I actually don't have too terrible thoughts towards the sax choir itself. They've played some neat stuff. I enjoyed Festive Overture by them.
That being said arranging a solo violin work for saxophone choir of like 20-30 people pretty much fits into my preconceived stereotype of classical saxophonists being egotistical, anti-art instrumentalists rather than musicians.
I bet it would sound very interesting on electric guitar.
>>54835259
>saxophone choirs/quartets are the worst combinations of instruments generally.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn5YZLJ0QBw
>>54835303
>>54835322
idk why I remember it being 20-30 people but oh well
>>54834810
was schubert a romantic? why or why not?
>>54835406
not him but I think anyone (CLT) who says Schubert isn't a Romantic is somehow wholly ignorant of his clearly Romantic tendencies and innovations in the composer as interpreter as in the Artsongs.
>>54835406
If you accept the conventional notion of Romanticism in music, certainly.
In more neutral terms his music is both typical of the early 19th century and greatly influenced later musicians, especially in his less "dramatic" treatment and expansion of sonata form.
>>54835322
heard worse bach arrangements tbh
>>54835528

ok the end is awful
Is it wrong to explore dumb genres of music like hip hop?

It's the current pop genre, so I figured I give it a whirl.
