What? I don't even know what that's supposed to entail. /classical/ is niche, so everyone pools into one single productive thread. There should only be one at any given time, and all the people that know their shit can pool their knowledge.
>>63360256
But see they are contained within the generals, creating a void to inevitably be filled with the latest 'lavren just said something msandrist' thread or worse "but this is a 3x3 1 month thread that one is a 3x3 7 days thread".
>>63360640
I wouldn't expect you to know how an imageboard works.
>>63360650
>>63360674
People shouldn't be so retarded that they can't just "ctrl f" the catalog and find the thread.
Every good board has at least one good generally that supplies consistent quality and content. /classical/ should try and realize that level of quality imo.
Sure, there's a "void" to it, but if you don't want pure cancer on /mu/ just fucking filter it. There simply aren't enough people interested in the genre or open to learning about it to be able to maintain 4 lack luster shit-post filled threads.
This is more economical.
>>63360789
Can't you like learn how an imageboard works instead of defending your reddit ideals where they don't belong?
>>63360827
>He's wrong
>Therefore reddit
Flawless reasoning there anon. How about you just explain your argument?
"How an imageboard works" is entirely irrelevant. General threads are clearly part of 4chan, and even within /mu/ itself. So imageboards like 4chan CLEARLY "work" with the concept of a general thread.
So what you REALLY mean is "how imageboards are SUPPOSED to work".
Supposed here meaning whatever nebulous rationalization you come up with.
Thanks for helping bump the thread though m8!
>>63360827
The doofus has a point. No matter how desirable it is to consign the pop trash on the board into one general thread, and populate the rest of the board with specific art music threads, there just isn't enough posters well versed in the material to keep enough content going. /lit/ can do it because they're much slower and everyone knows how to read so the gap between art literature and populist trash isn't as insurmountable without specialist training.
>>63360925
I mean I could have been reaching before with the reddit thing but this post sealed it. /classical/ is officially a reddit thread. Thank you fellows for discrediting 500 years of musical evolution because you couldn't for one second not post with a tripcode.

Oh man that's rich.
As much as I enjoy harping on the "Le REDDIT! XD" posts on 4chan the only thing more pathetic than some who posts on online forums in their spare time is someone who takes it so seriously that they actually have rivalries.

Which composer/ interpreter did you listen to last?
As i said on the previous classic music thread that was hanging arround earlier, i'm really into this record lately: http://www.carpediem-records.de/en/vox-cosmica
It's music from a female composer named Hildegard von Bingen who lived on the 11th or 12th century. Really amazing music. I'm glad my father bought this cd.
>>63361245
Perotin, Hillard Ensemble.
>>63361279
Noice. I enjoy the use of polyphony. As far as medieval goes, I like Hildegard, de Mauchat and the Carmina Burana.

I want something real desperate, gloomy and with no hope of happy ending. Something like Shostakovich 12th String Quartet or 14th & 13th Symphony. Did Bartok compose anything like it?

>>63363247
I'm still at the starting point when it comes to Chopin (and classical music in general really) but I have been really interested in the piano concerto as a form in general lately. So what I'd be looking for would be something where those dynamics really shine.
>>63363267
>no hope of a happy ending
Rigoletto
>>63363333
>I have been really interested in the piano concerto as a form in general lately
Listen to Mozart
>>63363279
Which pieces exactly? I don't know I thought Symph No. 5 was bright.
>>63363411
I'll look it up, thanks.
>>63363461
Winterreise, Schwanengesang, last 2 quartets, piano trios.
>>63363333
>piano concerto as a form
as a form, chopins concertos are more like piano sonatas accompanied by orchestra. if you want recordings in modern sound i recommend argerich. hofmann is good for histroical 2fer, but theres a lot of good individual recordings out there too (novaes, cortot, lipatti, neuhaus)
>>63363267
berg. wozzeck is utterly depressing.
>>63363482
That's perfect I'll have a listen.
>>63363483
I've in fact always wanted to listen to Berg, but it was hard to concentrate on Lulu, even though I could feel how great the piece was. Any recommendation for particular pieces other than wozzeck? Is his violin concerto that good? Because I really don't like violin concertos in general somehow. I'm a cellist by the way.
>>63363575
violin concerto is one of the greatest written, but i would say its not anything dark, merely gloomy like his piano sonata. it ends on a high note. he also has many songs you may be interested in, like the altenberg lieder.
his lyric suite and chamber concerto are well known too, but formally much denser compared to the works discussed thus far.
>>63363633
pieces sound fantastic. I'll definitely give a go some day, out from your recommendations so far. are there any depressing pieces he wrote that you would also recommend other than operas?
>>63363267
Bartok's music for string percussion and celesta, and his 4th string quartet
And this guy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td-cUkR1Tu8
>>63363671
not really. you can try webern for more, start with op. 6 (written after his mother passed away) and branch from there (his body of works is small and famously concise)
>>63363267
Galina Ustvolskaya
>>63363768
Sounds amazing. Thank you for everything.
>>63363755
I love both peices by Bartok, whereas I'm not sure there utterly "depressed" as I want. Surely they're both amazing and intense. I think I'll listen to it now actually and see if it can change my opinion. Thanks.

How modernist do you want to go?
Late romantic, there's Rachmaninoff. See prelude no. 10, b minor, opus 33.
Modernist there's a lot to take from, everyone was lunatic after the world wars.
>>63367523
It has to probably be one of the ones that consciously makes fun of somebody more talented at making music than Sullivan, because whenever he was earnest in writing music, it's invariably shit
So yeah, Iolanthe is a good one for making fun of Wagner.
Pirates of Penzance is the other competitor
And I sort of like the Gondoliers in spite of myself
>>63367931
not the anon who you were replying to, but Rachmaninoff is great
prelude in c# minor (bells of moscow) is my favourite
>>63368482
>Rachmaninov's Prelude in C-Sharp minor: there are passages familiar from pieces for children and from school concerts which are marked 'grandioso'. Tiny hands execute the gesture of strength. Children imitate grown-ups, perhaps even the virtuosi who have been swotting up their Liszt. It sounds tremendously difficult and at all events very loud. But it is comfortingly easy to play: the child knows that the colossal effect cannot misfire and that he is assured in advance of a triumph that has been achieved without effort. The Prelude preserves this triumph for infantile adults. It owes its popularity to listeners who identify with the performer. They know they could do it just as well. As they marvel at the power which forces the four-stave systems into a fourfold fortissimo, they marvel at themselves. In their mind's eye they can see their lion's paws growing. Psychoanalysts have discovered the Nero complex. This Prelude gratifies this from the outset. It allows the megalomaniac free play, without pinning him down to anything definite. No one can blame the thundering chords for turning the dilettante who churns them out so immaculately into a conqueror of the world. Risk and security are fused in one of the boldest instances of musical daydreaming ever created. The excitement rises to fever-pitch if, as a bonus, the piece is played in a three-quarters darkened hall. The sombre mood of destruction which the Slav idiom of the piece simultaneously threatens and glorifies, arouses in ever listener the certainty that in the foreboding gloom he too could easily smash the piano to pieces. He is assisted in this not just by the conjunction of the heavy artillery and easy playability, but by the design of the entire colossal bagatelle. Almost all tonal music, especially that of the post-Classical era, provides the contemporary amateur with the opportunity to make his own gesture of power in the final cadence. It is an affirmation as such, whatever has gone before
>>63368601
>Hence the ritardando. Its function is to underline and its strength enables the performer to measure his own by restraining himself and reining in his own impetuosity. Even if this gestural meaning of the final cadence may only date from the Romantic movement, it can be said that in the course of its post-Romantic debasement Rachmaninov emptied it of all content, freed it of every genuine musical event and threw it on to the market as a commodity.
>The Prelude is just one long final cadence; it could be described as a single, long, insatiable, repetitive ritardando. It parodies the passacaglia progression by taking three cadence-forming bass notes which can conclude the theme of a passacaglia, and presents them, as it were, as a passacaglia theme. Repetition insists on the point with ruthless self-advertisement. The phrases are so short-winded that even the most insensitive ear can scarcely go wrong. Moreover, the motif-forming melodic counter-voice merely paraphrases the cadence. All the music does say is: so be it. The fact we don't know what it is to be is what constitutes the essence of its Russian mysticism. In the middle it breaks into a run with a cheap series of triplets and creates the illusion of fluent virtuosity. But in vain. It is only the motivic counter-voice. Fate remains fate and insists that things are so and not otherwise. And when at the end it explodes with all the primal force of conventionality, it can be assured of the gratitude of all those who have always known this and could see it coming.

>>63368610
>>63368601
Tad cynical, but that's a pretty damn great analysis.
But those qualities are still remain appealing. He can debunk its artistic and virtuousic qualities, but it remains a really fun affirmation of the feeling of power and decadance imo.
The prelude really isn't one of Rach's best anyways though, just popular. I think that his 2nd symphony, the variations on paganini and the piano concertos are still a lot of fun.

I love it, too, but I you have to acknowledge how weird a recording it is.
The singing is one thing, but his actual playing is so stylized to sound like clockwork that you might think passages of it were recorded by player piano.
>>63372832
>>63373626
I think Gould was the absolute best at polyphonic voicing, its sounds entirely independent to my ear.
I certainly prefer the eighties recording over the fifties one. It sounds a bit more reserved mature to me. There are other great recordings of course, but I get the feeling that Gould really expressed the music on a personal level more than other pianists. Guy loved Bach that's for sure.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Tr0otuiQuU

>>63375612
Eh. I guess its a niche market. The people that are going to tend to buy classical already know what they're buying whether primarily by content or by the performers.
You won't find so many impulsive classical listeners who will buy an album just off of some neat cover art and interesting pieces. Its easier to convince people of that with other albums.

A day late, but
Depressing music isn't really Bartók's MO. the 2nd and 6th quartets come to mind, but they both experience a variety of emotions before devolving into a hopeless despair
>mozarts entire discography.
lol.
>>63363267
Also, the first string quartet (1909) and violin/piano sonata (1921) (both testaments to our composer's romantic autism) open with characteristic gloom (although they pick up in energy by the third movement). The second movement of the latter is particularly bleak. The two sets of 5 songs (op. 15 and 16, 1916) are moody and betray the influence of Schoenberg. You also might want to check out his 4 dirges (1910) and 2 elegies (1909) for solo piano, as well as his improvisations on Romanian folk tunes (1920) and 3 etudes (1918). finally, although the great Divertimento (1939) is generally a "lighter" piece, the middle movement is filled with angst.
>>63378195
>improvisations on Romanian folk tunes
Hungarian peasant songs. Forgive me, Béla
>>63377262
Why do you care? Mozart after centuries is still played, enjoyed, recorded. Grimes will be forgotten in 10 years(and perhaps i'm being very nice). Those are just kids.
Was he truly one of the best composers of all times?
>>63367523
I prefer The Mikado. It has the most interesting story of their Operas and the best arias (both by Koko).
Can someone recommend me some enjoyable classical music pieces? I'm expanding my library but every time I want to download something I forgot the names of the well-known ones.
What I already have & loved:
>Guglielmo Tell
>Saint-Saëns - Symphony No. 3
>Griegs Morning & Mountain King
>Bachs Toccata and Fugue
>Mozart Der Hoelle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen
>Moonlight Sonata
Feel free to recommend obvious popular ones, I have a terrible memory for names.

>>63363072
What's third place? I'm guessing Progressive Rock? Hahaha. There is no "best". Everything has it's place. No other music can control a crowds emotion to adrenaline as good as death metal, for example. Same with classical, some intricate beauties can only be felt with a piano concerto in the major scale.
>>63379330
Try Grieg - Peer Gynt Prelude
Carmen - overture - Bizet
Die Moritat von Mackie Messer - Weill
Boccherini - Minuetto
Those are some easily recognizable ones.

Lost Chord is nice.
I can't say I agree about Pirates though, it's just not as exciting to me as say Pinafore or even the Grand Duke. Gondoliers has good music but the libretto is weak as hell, it should have just been all music like TBJ because it seemed as if Gilbert was better with rhymes than wit.
>>63379306
Mikado's great and so is Koko as one of the few really sincere feeling comedic characters, but I think musically it falls at certain points (The Sun Whose Rays is more boring than beautiful, and after the Mikado's solo the music gets strangely depressing until Koko and Katisha have their duet)
I would say the one with the most fun music is Patience, which never gets enough credit though I personally think it to be one of the strongest.

I don't listen to classical that much, but my University had an almost one month festival for free and I went there three times. Damn, some pieces were really good. Of those I remember, Felix's Violin concert number 2, Brahm's German requiem, and Dvorak's New World Symphony were all fantastic.

Pretty sure you are hearing the Fur Elise or Oh Canada. This thing is just kind of a jumble of crap though
>>63367852
Sorry meant to say La Marseillaise not Fur Elise
>>63379204
Yep, Can't think of another 20th century composer that's on the same level as Debussy, Ravel, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Bartok, and Ives.

The bartok quartets are GOAT tier but I can't remember which ones are my favorite and I didn't want to go to the trouble of relistening through them.
>>63383293
I am ashamed. I've only more recently got into Mozart. His divertimento and the haydn inspired quartets are all also very good.
>>63383761
Yeah. Classical music is pretty cheap and a great experience.

What is some good baroque stuff?
>>63359193
Yeah, classical music prentious libcuck music.
>>63386877
Monteverdi, Buxtehude, Schütz, Biber, Corelli, Purcell, Scarlatti, Lully, Marcello, Tartini, Zelenka.
And I assume you already know Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi.
>>63386945
Locatelli too if you want memes that aren't memes anymore.
I want to listen to more classical music.
The only piece I have in my library is Dvorak's Symphony No. 9, I enjoy it a lot but just haven't been compelled to try anything else. Anything you can rec me based on that?
>>63385174

Mahler symphonies 5 and 6. 1 and 2 are good too.
Holst - mars the bringer of war
other Dvorak symphonies (most are pretty good)
maybe Stravinsky's le sacre du printempts
mendelssohn is pretty good too, check out those piano concerti
>Taking a history of classical music this semester

you'll enjoy it. They're always a blast

I'm nearly at the end of it. It's been amazing.
>>63387183
Sibelius - 2, 5
Schubert - 8, 9
Bruckner - 4, 7, 8
Beethoven - 5, 6, 7
Schostakovich - 5
Mahler - 2, 6, 7
Tchaikovsky - 5, 6
Wagner - ouvertures and preludes
Can anybody recommend classical pieces the evoke deep sadness/melancholy/despair and the like? Or even romance. I would really appreciate it. I feel like it's so hard to find pieces that really hit home. Most classical music I hear is happy or heroic and such.

Hey, just listened to th 1962 Hans Knappertsbusch Parsifal and it was amazing :). What would you reccomend for T & I recordings? Listened to Karajan but wasn't wowed
>>63368601
>>63368610
ruined my day
Karajan's 1983 is the greatest version of Beethoven's 9th I've yet heard, really my only complaint is that he doesn't do the repeats in the main scherzo, he does in the trio though

Kna has a Tristan/Isolde that is in boxy mono that you might like, featuring qt Braun and (iirc) Treptow. not a great fan of his Wagner though.
>>63387673
Shostakovich quartet 15. That's one hell of a fucking depressing quartet.
Same with Shostakovich 1st violin concerto movement 3
Parts of Shostakovich's 5th symphony...
>>63387971
dis is good too
>>63388091
Mahler is great for your purposes, but find the right movements.
Mahler 6 mvt 3
Mahler 9 mvt 1/4
Mahler 5 mvt 4
mahler 4 mvt 3
Those are probably the best of them. Mahler 10's first movement, although its a bit less approachable.

Not really, it was occupied by the Nazis during WW2 (the Sudetenland most famously) and before WW1 it was a possession of the Austrian Crown, which while the royalty was German, the administration was not too nationalistic. So while there was a strong German presence in Bohemia (as the region was called), there was still a just as strong Czech presence as well.

Luigi Cherubini (1760 - 1842) while not exactly obscure, is criminally underperformed today. Not many musicians I know, even in our local symphony, have heard of him.

Why are autistic people considered to be "bad" here, can someone explain please?
>>63396583
gould is not considered bad.
kissin, who is just as much an autist, is considered bad by some. personally, i think he's a good pianist.
>>63396583
Autism is actually a status symbol in /classical/.
>>63396603
>gould is not considered bad.
honestly that depends on who you're talking to
>>63396603
I still miss the point, why /mu/ thinks autists are bad. Just have no time to get all local micro fads.
>>63396583
>Why are autistic people considered to be "bad" here, can someone explain please?
they aren't
>>63396658
not so much hate for gould on this board as far as i can tell. (other than the justified hate or disgust for his mozart sonatas.)
>>63396663
>I still miss the point
probably because you're autistic. we still like you though.
>>63396684
>not so much hate for gould on this board as far as i can tell
well, he's just a very subjective performer. more so than most performers are.
i only really like most of his early stuff, for instance, and don't like a lot of the latter studio recordings he did.
>>63396750
i love his bach keyboard concertos.
>>63396684
I hate everything about him
>>63396663

Gould is only bad becuase he hums. Thats the only reason. If he didn't hum, he'd be a fine pianist. but he does, so I don't like him.

Its a rachmaninoffian bastardization. Don't blame her.
I've heard her play Prokofiev's second piano concerto live. She's good. More than good enough for the turkish march.
Pure classicalfu desu senpai.
>composers who didn't write string quartet(s)
>>63401029
>Its a rachmaninoffian bastardization.
It's an altered version of Volodo's paraphase on Mozart's Turkish March. By the way, Rachmaninoff wouldn't ever write something like that or in the style of that.
