I think Tchaikovsky is my favorite. I realize he's a bit late, but Nutcracker has such a powerful and eerie vibe. Swan Lake can be a tempest at times. Piano concerto no 1 in b flat minor has a very compelling beginning and ending with a jungle-book feel in the middle.

Then of course there's Overture of 1812, just a bombshell of a song with french samples

This is one of the few versions with actual cannons and a choir. just drives me insane. the lyrics are haunting over napoleon's defeat.

Don't act so smug just because you are not an "entry level classical kid". Just because Holst isn't literally the best composer to ever live does not mean that people can't like him. And yeah, he is overrated but overrated =/= bad.

if you're looking for mathematical beauty, Bach's inventions are great. On the other side of the spectrum, Debussy is quite mathematical too.

And then there's schoenberg's suite for piano (op 25) or Shostakovich's 24 prelude and fugues.
>>
>>65198627

Most of these are just edgelord music. Not even harmonically, although some are. Most are based on themes and phrases that never go beyond LE INCONGRUITY XDDDDDD. Barely above Frank Zappa's excretions.

Although Shostakovich's 8th quartet is nothing to write home about, it is an internally consistent piece of music anchored in an interplay of motifs and overarching thematic shifts with no need for artifices or jump scares.

Is there a more pointless exercise in imitation in the common practice period than Shostakovich's preludes and fugues?

What about using modern instruments with the historical tuning of a pieces period a no-no?

And with period instruments in general, does it really matter or is just up to personal preferences whether you use a proper instrument or just any modern instrument?
>>
>>65223592
>does it really matter or is just up to personal preferences whether you use a proper instrument or just any modern instrument?
Personal preference. Believe it or not period instruments are mainly for the benefit of the performer rather than the listener.

>>65223660
Would you care to elaborate?
>>
>>65223676
Taruskins arguments basically goes like
>mainstream performances need to be rejected not because of their anachronism, but because mainstream musicians who are brought up in the usual way, before his age of consent, will have his musical tastes and responses formed at a pre-conscious level which gives rises to a uniformity of performance style that is inadequate to deal with the enormous stylistic diversity of the vast (and ever expanding) classical repertory

>rejecting this leads to a vacuum that cannot (and can never) be filled by fragmentary remains of the past. To do what is good for the music, we need values of our own and the courage to live up to them.

>This cannot be provided by intuition since "they are thoroughly domesticated beasts, trained to run along narrow paths by long years of unconscious conditioning, endowed with vast reserves of cliche, naive posture, and nonsense. If you are a trained musician, what you will find if you scratch your intuition will be the unexamined mainstream, your most ingrained responses, treacherously masquerading as imagination.
>>
>>65223770
>One beings by challenging one's assumption about the music, especially the assumptions we do not know we are making.
>"And here, in my view, is where the 'old instruments' are valuable and perhaps indispensable in achieving truly authentic performances: as part of the mental process I am describing. The unfamiliarity of the instrument forces mind, hand and ear out of their familiar routines and into more direct confrontation with the music. It has a kind of Entfremdungseffekt which serves the same purpose as modernist literature. The presentation of a familiar object (the music) in an unfamiliar context (the instrument and the new problem it poses) forces one to see it freshly, more immediately, more observantly-in a word, more authentically. Notice, though, that this is primarily a heuristic benefit for the player, and only secondarily an aesthetic benefit to the listener.

Tonal harmony in general is not very important. The reason why there are almost no recordings in unequal temperament is that the difference is remarkably unremarkable - some beating here, no beating there...yay. It's qualitatively indistinguishable from what can otherwise be attributed to recording quality or conditions, and instrumental or interpretive idiosyncrasies.

Probably neoclassical. I've never been able to handle minimalism, atonality, etc (even if they aren't the same thing). If neoclassicism is the continuation of art music in a more tonalidirection, then that's the stuff I'm looking for.

Maybe you just don't know what to look for in the music. You don't listen to it in the same way you do with tonal music, you know. If you're seeking the same kind of pleasure/satisfaction you'll never gonna enjoy it. It's a different kind of experience.

I don't know about using past tunings into modern instruments but when it comes to historical instruments its useful because of the string tension. The current temperament is in a higher pitch than in the past, making it possible for historical instruments to break since the tension is different from what its used to (in stringed instruments, the tension increases if you increase the pitch).

I sincerely liked it the first time around.

I dont see what the problem is, have your 21st century ears not been acclimatized to atonality through countless horrror film scores?

Whenever I play Webern or Schoenberg to a non-classical friend horror films seems to be the first thing they mention.

Pic related is excellent, great unsual colors and ideas, combined with late romantic sensibilities and orchestration

>>65234894
hmm fair point, except Schoenberg is one of the most well known 20th century composers. Certainly Scriabin could be replaced by Schoenberg, or perhaps Webern instead.

Yes. Baroque composers were usually also virtuosos who could play the instruments that they wrote for well, which means that they've composed the pieces with the correct historical tuning in their head.
It makes me want to kill myself when I hear sappy, flaccid romantic interpretation of Baroque music.

Debussy's orchestration reflected Wagner's shimmering hazes and more atmospheric sections, often making use of p or mp tremolo bowed strings, or trills in harmony. interlocking rhythms of blending instruments, often without a single focal melodic line.

Sounds like I'm doing your homework for you so I'm going to refrain from commenting on why that makes him similar to Mahler, if it does at all...

Hey guys, there was someone who posted a soundcloud of their piano "etude" but it was really something else and quite interesting. All I remember is that it was around 10 min long and started with some weird arpeggio in maybe a major but it was so long ago, for sure though that it was at least 10 min or more. Is that poster still here?

So I went to the Queen Elizabeth competition (Belgium) on thursday. I completely guessed on a day to go and apparently I saw the winner doing Rach3. The funny thing is this happened a few years as well with Rach3. But to me the player was just playing really fast (though good). But in the first movement he played so fast the familiarity I have with the piece was almost gone. I don't know enough about piano playing but at the end of the piece I felt a little underwhelmed. Though he played the last movements pretty good. The person doing Brahms 2 before played a lot more convincingly and intimate to me.

Not my all time favourite (I'm new enough to classical and I'd probably pick something boring like Beethoven's 5th or 9th) but I've really been enjoying Mahler's first recently. The build up of the first movement around that simple two note theme is fantastic.

okay, so, can someone recommend me some classical music if my favorite classical music is

debussy's piano works and string quartets
bach's cello suites, violin concertos, fugues
stravinsky's le sacre du printemps
elgar's cello concertos
BELA BARTOK'S STRING QUARTETS
eric satie's piano works
Tchaikovsky's orchestral works

string quartets by schoenberg, ligeti, schniitke, webern, alban berg.

I also like Giacinto Scelsi, morton feldman, messiaen, vivaldi, Luciano Cilio

It's hard for me to remember anything else, but that's a bit of a summary of what I like. I would really appreciate as many suggestions you could give me of stuff you think I'd like.
