sibelius violin competition edition
>>60733367
>Sibelius
>Brahms
>Tchaikovsky
>Berg
>Bartok
So all finalists get to choose a violin concerto they play alongside Sibelius'? Who came up with this format
>>60734025
the competition is organized by the Sibelius Foundation and Sibelius Academy and the important part of the format is to bribe young musicians into learning the Sibelius concerto so that they continue to perform it after the competition now that they put in the effort to learn the fucking thing

What is the most emotional piano piece you know? So far I'm in love with Chopin's Noctunrla op. 9 no. 2:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E6b3swbnWg
The ending is truly breath taking; an emotive orgasm, for me.
Please, recomend me other romantic or impressionistic stuff like this one. (I know it's not impressionism, but I really love that too.)

that doesn't mean I implied 9/2 can compare to 55/2. I literally just said that "so far" I'm in love with that one". You see the difference? Or I have to explain it to you?

they play with moderated vibrato and elegant portamenti. there's some noise as with most old meme recordings, but the sound quality is pretty good for it's age.
>>60742333
i suppose i should mention the compositions on it:
Beethoven:
String Quartet No. 5 in A major, Op. 18/5
String Quartet No. 7 in F major ("Rasumovsky 1"), Op. 59/1
String Quartet No. 10 in E flat major ("Harp"), Op. 74

>Depressing
The only thing depressing about this album is that its on a modern piano instead of a baroque-appropriate instrumentation. The music itself is very uplifting. In addition to that, every piece ends on a major chord.
>>60746227
>muh period instruments
Your probably complain about Mozart Concerti on modern pianos too
>>60746310
>Listening to Mozart concerti
Why when there actually interesting concerti to listen to?
Also the held notes in art of fugue indicate either organ or strings. Its less about period instruments, more about having sustain on the note, which piano can struggle with on longer notes. Piano is fine for some of the faster fugues, but still lacks the character of harpsichord or cembalo
>>60746373
Put your trip back on poly.
Hello everyone, I am new to this so pls be gentle
Trying to get into some classical music for reading and writing. Tchaikovsky's Symphony No.5 and Vivaldi's Four Seasons have been what I've been listening to recently.
Can someone lend me a hand on where to start on some famous composers? Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Mahler, Handel, etc. I don't really care about the composer, anything you recommend that would be pleasing to the ears, doesn't matter if they are heralded or not.
I'm finding it a little daunting scrolling thru Spotify albums of all these different symphonies/concertos/nocturnes/sonatas and don't really know where to begin on some composers.
>>60746373
>harpsichord or cembalo
it's the same thing
>>60746373
I'm starting to get tired of the FPTMIU meme, but its really applicable here.
His late piano concerti and horn concertos are some of his best works.
Trying to track down a piece I heard while listening to an online radio, with sparse information. Here is what I have
chamber arrangement involving a piano and violin. maybe a cello is in there.
movement is called "anime"
Unusually rhythmic. I would guess the piece is early 20th C and french, hence the "unusually". Its pretty four-square impressionistic except for the central figure, which involves the piano playing a bouncy cycle of three notes while the violin plays a 4 note outline in a low register and then a high one. I am never going to hear this again am I? If it helps the radio service was accuradio
mozart discussion is the only thing that keeps these threads alive anymore
>>60747196
ravel piano trio 4th movement?
>>60747773
no, but thanks anon
>>60747806

>>60747196
Debussy Violin Sonata 3rd Movement?
>>60747773
>>60747773
found it! I was quite off with my recollection. It was a cello sonata all along and the percussiveness may have owed to the particular interpretation I heard. Nice piece though, whatever, but probably not worth the wild goose chase of some 2 hours it took to track down.

just dont appeal to me. Mehzart.
Reminder: Americans invented everything popular post-1900.

>>60750285
What about the rite of spring? probably the most popular 20th century piece. Written by a Russian in Paris.
Name one popular american piece that isn't Appalachian spring or minimalism. (popular outside america that is)
>>60750421
>>60750285
Oh yeah, musicals if you count those as art music (I dont). West side story is hugely popular.
>>60750421
>>60750437
I'm just kidding. Jazz is our baby and Charles Ives was a frigging genius, but that's about all we've got for the first half of the twentieth century. Also I've heard Appalachian Spring so much the opening notes are enough to make me nauseous...

A reminder.
>>60733367
I listened to Tartini's violin sonata in g minor, also called the "Devil's Trill Sonata" recently. I really like it, to a point where it's playing in my head and when i get home from work and school I have to listen to it. Hats off to Tartini I guess.
>>60757185
yea it's sick.
bump cause ded thread
This will sound awfully specific and peculiar, but I have an insatiable lust for nitpicking movements for certain "trends" that include, but certainly aren't limited to:
https://youtu.be/lx7vTquSlaE from 1:54 to 2:14
https://youtu.be/Tzv1sDPmQ10 from 2:48 to 3:00
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CShopT9QUzw 1:17 to 1:44
There are certain (most dissonant) opuses that I only listen to for a 10 second passage (or less) that I become absolutely fanatic about. The rest is bland in comparison. Now, I know someone by now is banging their head against their keyboard, but I really want suggestions that tie in the sort of "sentiment" or "wail" like those in the more famous examples, if possible.
And no, I don't have a deep exposure to music. In fact, had you asked me a year ago, I'd say music is sacrilegious, so the whole thing is new to me. Please tolerate.
Is there a term I can search to find more organ works that sound like this registration? I love the massive reeds in this piece.

Thanks for devoting the time to your post, but this isn't what I'm looking for. I would have loved to be pinpoint specific as to what I'm looking for but I have absolutely no clue how to spell it out.

Listen to Concerto 17 and come back and tell me that. You're a huge fucking pleb if you can't appreciate Mozart's Concerti
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nheif2BuFz0
So I was just listening to Handel's Water Music.
I love the backstory behind it.
Is there any other classical that was composed for specific parties or royal events like this?
This is a little bit off topic, but I don't know where else to ask; What's the best, quintessential Debussy recording?
