Is any of it worth getting? I'm sure the Mozart is probably bad.

You mean easymodo since the best chamber music by Mozart are his E flat major string trio and his C major string quintet.
do you think the reason we don't have young aspiring talents in classical music is that they've been brought into popular music? people like Joanna Newsom and Julia Holter could have easily made structured classical music but instead felt drawn to pop music.
is this a failure of classical music or an inevitability
>>64590530
As much as I love classical music, I think you're right. Pop music gets you more money and a bigger audience.
>>64590530
There's plenty of aspiring talents in classical though, you just dont know about them.
I know at least 10 composers under 20 who are already amazing and will be the stars of the future. Plenty of youth orchestras and star players in the making too.
Pop music gets more exposure, so its not your fault you're ignorant to the classical world.

I prefer the full orchestra version honestly, but still gut.

lol I'm sure.
tell me what they bring to the table then.
Does anybody have this?
>>64592267
spotify does.
itunes does.
amazon does.
parasite
>>64592288
i want free download
>>64591989
eh you dont believe me. No point in backing up my claim. Just know that there is a constant stream of new talent flowing through classical music, as there always has been.
It helps to be part of the classical world to understand what's going on. Try going to some composition workshops or composition lectures at college/university and you'll see who the bright young lights are. I go to annual composition workshops and some of the young composers are insane. As long as they keep at it, they'll be churning out masterpieces in no time. Many of them already are.

What is our opinion on this person?
>>64592443
Shoo shoo, Poly.
>>64592647
that should read
"Licking ass was a mistake"
Maybe thats how he got so sick and died...?
>>64592687
Poly, once again mad at Mozart's beautiful compositions and sexual virility.
>>64592687
He died from being so underrated. He's the only person in human history to have done so.
I WANT FREE DOWNLOAD
>>64592965
wasn't he pretty well rated in his lifetime though?
>>64592914
He did write some nice music. Dont forget we're talking middle to upper class 18th century Germany. I'd say girls are far more promiscuous these days. Mozart had to arrange marriage and get constanze's fathers permission...
granted they had 6 kids, which is far more than I've had. can't say I envy them for that. Do you think Mozart took time out of composing to look after the kids? do you think he ever washed nappies?
>>64592267

Yeah

Kids take up a lot of time. Maybe not in Mozart's day when women usually did all the child-rearing, but certainly today if you look after them properly. One only has a limited amount of time so seems like basic maths to say more time = more productive
>>64596067
I haven't really given his quartets a good listen. Will report back. His first quartet is pre-polystylism, that much is clear.

yea nah ur a fag
>>64597333
Lmao except the solos for violin are literally a thousand times higher in quality than anything else Bach's produced in his lifetime lmao
>>64597333
Clearly kids had no impact on Bach, seeing as he produced more even while laden with many other tasks.
>>64598126
That was his point. That Poly was wrong.
>>64592637
meh...
one of the most influent early 1900 italian composer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOBraM_EPEc
How come people don't know anything about this guy?
>>64598939
Very good stuff. The high notes about one minute in are very good.
>>64598452
The point is nothing had an impact on Bach's production. He was a machine. I doubt he actually looked after his children all that much. It tended to be womans work in those days.
>>64598452
As an experiment, have some children and tell us how much free time you have!
While its still possible to compose between dropping them off at school, buying groceries, doing laundry, making dinner, and the other myriad childcare-related activities to which you're probably naive to, you'll find you have much less time for writing music. Much less time for anything you want to do, in fact.
Bach was surely in a situation where the church or school he was working for organized childcare for him between wives.

Is everything a meme to you? You're really using a loose definition.
>>64600140
Not as loose as your asshole
>>64600174
Hey friend, no reason to be so mean.
man these opera productions just get more retarded every year i swear
Erik Satie. lots and lots of Erik Satie
>>64599731
It's still a nice piece. Was at a concert where it was performed a few days ago
>>64600407
There are still some good ones out there but yes, there's a lot of retardation too
Is it just me or is the harpsichord the most annoying instrument ever
Hello /mu/. Can you recommend some books/internet sites that would allow me to talk about classical music without sounding like a complete retard? I have no musical education whatsoever. I ve been listening to various composers and attended some concerts, but I am scared that someone will start a conversation with me and despite the fact that I had listened to a given composer a lot, all I will be able to say would be "I like his pieces a lot, they are catchy" or something equally embarrasing.

Search for a torrent of music theory for dummies and read up on that. That will help you understand all the terminology. Also, the wikipedia entries for musical forms are informative enough for getting into classical.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_form
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_form
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_form
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rondo
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variation_(music)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonata_form
I also like this site for listening guides to most of Brahms oeuvre.

>>64602014
Thanks guys
>>64602114
No problem. Also, if you like a piece a lot you should search "(Piece Name) Analysis" there are bound to be some good results, although the terminology may be rather advanced.
>>64602014
could help listen music meanwhile you look at the score.
>>64602225
Yes, I do that a lot. It's really nice and informative.
>>64601704
Its just you. out of tune Bagpipes, kazoos and recorders are far more annoying.
>>64603187
>recorders
>>64603209
you heard me
>>64601704
nope it's just you, Bach's Goldberg Variations are way more enjoyable with a harpsichord, and so is his keyboard concerto in D.
Having a standard volume for each note makes baroques' counterpoint and harmony sound way better
Yo,
Anyone have any recommendations for some good classical pieces from the contemporary age?
pic unrelated
>>64590530
The reason we don't have young aspiring talents is that academia has stopped telling people who to listen to.
>>64599239
>nothing had an impact on Bach's production
Not even the poor quality of his music.
>>64601894
>>64602114
Also search on YouTube for videos like https://youtube.com/watch?v=8QUHL0cT7-g
What Bach should I listen to? I've listened to his keyboard partita 6 and it was quite good. Are there any albums on rutcracker I should get?
>K482 (and particularly the final movement)
I reckon this is the qtest piece of music I've ever heard
>>64605920
>not the middle Andante of K 563
