He didn't say that explicitly but implied it.

>It constitutes an experiment in a very special and limited direction, and should not be suspected of aiming at achieving anything different from, or anything more than, it actually does achieve. Before its first performance, I issued a warning to the effect that what I had written was a piece lasting seventeen minutes and consisting wholly of "orchestral tissue without music" — of one very long, gradual crescendo. There are no contrasts, and practically no invention except the plan and the manner of execution.

The reason all classical music sounds the same to you is the same reason why anything else sounds, looks, tastes, etc. the same to the layman. It's just one of those things you need to devote serious thought and concentration to in order to grasp all the subtle details that you wouldn't normally catch by listening passively, as most laymen listen to music.

Even Mozart disagrees with you.

Disclaimer: I don't care much for Mozart.

But he said that all music needs to be based on something "so simple that a coachman could hum it". Also Debussy said:

I usually don't like appealing to authority but since you did it with invoking academic prescriptivism...what now?

>I confess that I am no longer thinking in musical terms, or at least not much, even though I believe with all my heart that Music remains for all time the finest means of expression we have. It’s just that I find the actual pieces — whether they’re old or modern, which is in any case merely a matter of dates — so totally poverty-stricken, manifesting an inability to see beyond the work-table. They smell of the lamp, not of the sun. And then, overshadowing everything, there’s the desire to amaze one’s colleagues with arresting harmonies, quite unnecessary for the most part. In short, these days especially, music is devoid of emotional impact. I feel that, without descending to the level of the gossip column or the novel, it should be possible to solve the problem somehow. There’s no need either for music to make people think! … It would be enough if music could make people listen, despite themselves and despite their petty mundane troubles, and never mind if they’re incapable of expressing anything resembling an opinion. It would be enough if they could no longer recognize their own grey, dull faces, if they felt that for a moment they had been dreaming of an imaginary country, that’s to say, one that can’t be found on the map.

Actually, I remember reading that some people speculated the gross fugue might have been a humorous piece in which Beethoven was taking the piss and mocking Baroque formalism or formalism in general. Of course, that would've required a modicum of self-awareness, something Beethoven was even more devoid of than the ability to make good music.

Consensus means anything. If you think he was an autistic mechanical composer that's your prerogative, but it just makes you that much more retarded. If you listen to truly incredible performances of his pieces you'll appreciate their artistry.

Really? I haven't listened to it in a while now, but I've always had an aversion to English choir. I like britten quite a bit, and I remember the instrumentals well, but I think that the singing just doesn't have the same emotional depth.

Everyone else said long so, why the fuck not. I can imagine Wagner fucking with everyone who was expecting an epic, and instead writing a 17 minute stunner.

So reddit has an open mind when it comes to music? nice.
Your criticism is that the tuba mirum is "edgy" and you dont like the percussion in the Credo.

Lets remember that Schnittke wrote this requiem as the incidental music for a play, because at the time sacred music was forbidden. It was the only way he could get a sacred work performed and heard. I like the percussion/drumkit in the credo. Its unusual and interesting. Mozart used timpani in an 18th century way in his requiem, why shouldn't Schnittke use drumkit in a 20th century way in his?

I can only imagine what a real Schnittke requiem would be like, if he was given full artistic licence and didn't have to adhere to a plays intent.

going back to requiem's, i'm convinced that duruflé's is the best
it's completely without pretention, makes perfect use of gregorian plainchant and is stunningly beautiful
>>
>>60980666

It's very satisfying music. And 'Dein ist mein ganzes Herz' is pretty much a classic.
>>
>>60983945
I listened today for the first time Duruflé and even if probably it's not my favorite it is really really good

Ligeti's one is a torture though

A pietist coin-collector lawyer professor and consistory secretary from Weimar was teaching a class on J. S. Bach.
"Before the class begins," he demanded, "you must get on your knees and worship Salomo Franck and accept that he was the most gifted librettist Bach ever worked with, even greater than Picander!"
At this moment, a talented, patriotic, ex-Thomaner organist saxon who had written 150 cantata cycles and understood the necessity of parody and fully supported tuning the orchestra to kammerton instead of chorton stood up and held up a book titled "Cantaten auf die Sonn-und Fest-Tage."
"Do you know what this is, pinhead?"
The arrogant professor smirked jewishly and smugly replied "It's a poetry collection set partially by Bach in 1729, no doubt because Bach saw a distinct lack of literary merit in the rest of the verses, you stupid Christian"
"Wrong. This contains the text to the St Matthew Passion in the appendix, the most inspired piece of music to ever come from Bach's quill, which was written by the same author, Christian Friedrich Henrici. If it was without literary merit and Schlomo Shekelsfrank, as you say, was Bach's greatest librettist, then Bach should have composed a Passion setting by him and finished his Weimar cantata cycle by now."
>>
>>60993338
The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of Evangelisches Andachts-Opffer. He stormed out of the room crying those pietist crocodile tears. The same tears they cry for the 'sublime Weimar chamber cantatas' (many of which exist without even a closing chorale setting nor fugal opening chorus) when they jealously try to claw justly earned credit from their Leipzig revivals.
The students applauded and all enrolled to study law in the University of Leipzig that day and accepted Jesus as their lord and saviour. An eagle named "Vocalinbau" flew into the room and perched atop the Calov Bible and shed a tear on the chalk. The "Entwuff einer wohlbestallten Kirchen Music" was read several times, and Johann Matthias Gesner himself showed up and relieved all teaching duty from the Thomascantor.
The professor lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He died of an infection contracted in an eye operation the other day and was tossed into the lake of fire for all eternity.
Soli Deo Gloria.

What kind of instruments are these that this quartet is playing? It's from a Herzog film, but there's no info on the quartet anywhere, I'd love to hear some more early chamber music like what they are playing.
