>>
>>65373318
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLGS4nJy070
>>
>>65373322
Because with 50+ people it's hard to stay in time because music from across the stage takes time to reach you. So if you look at the conductor he can keep you in time.
>>
>>65373454
No I mean why did the ensemble got bigger? More instruments invented?
>>
I like his Tchaikovksky and Beethoven. That might be an unpopular opinion idk
>>
>>65373473
Partly yes, but also because composers wanted to write bigger stuff and because it became viable. Remember in those days most musicians and composers were in the service of a noble so the size of the ensembles and as a result the compositions were limited by how many people the noble could afford. But as public concerts became more common because people could afford tickets it meant ensembles could be bigger.
>>
>>65373318
Now I want to hear that.
>>
>>65373587
That makes sense, but since when did conductor become just "conductor"? Most conductors/directors before the classical era were also virtuosos
>>
>>65374902
That's because most conductors were usually the first violinist or the soloist or something and didn't need to actively conduct as much. There probably wasn't a set time when 'conductor' became separate, it happened gradually starting in Beethoven's time as he and the other proto Romantics started enlarging the orchestra and making bigger stuff.
I hope this isn't your homework.

>>65375076
Not really, Beethoven couldn't have achieved the sound he did in Eroica with only strings a flute and basso continuo. He needed what he needed, including that third horn. He couldn't have achieved the sound of the 9th with the smaller baroque groups, but despite the orchestra's size the harmonies remain clear as ever, remember not every instrument has to be playing all the time.
>>
>>65375262

I do not. Is he the resident Classical snob who makes broad, scathing generalizations about composers whose turds were more important than his entire existence?
>>
>>65376024
Actually yes! He loathes Mozart.
>>
>>65376024
He generally doesn't know what he's talking about at all.
Though /classical/ at large usually memes against Karajan, at least in repertoire before like, Strauss.
>>
>>65375604
Yeah I see what you're saying, but you don't need dozens of each of the instruments to have the sort of variety in timbre you're looking for.
>>
>>65376074
I figured. I used to feel the same way about Mozart until I learned that not all of his pieces were bouncy and jovial. His symphonies tend to sound very monotonous to me, but I enjoy many of them -- for me, it's all about the chamber music... and his Requiem of course.
>>
>>65376083
They don't have dozens. Most classical and romantic symphonies had only 2 each of woodwinds and brass, with 4 horns. Only strings had 12-16 players, and even then only the first violins had that many, but that was necessary so they could be heard at all. Some of Mahler's symphonies have 8 horns and other larger amounts, but his symphonies are some of the biggest in the repetoire.
>>
>>65376075
>memes against Karajan
It makes people feel more erudite and important when they criticize esteemed individuals. I accept that everyone has their preferences and criticisms, but I have a hard time taking someone seriously when they make such hyperbolic statements as "Karajan was a hack"
>>
>>65376074
I actually like Mozart. The only composer I truly loathe is Applebaum, but he's essentially a non-composer anyway.

>>65376024
I'm just a trained composer who lurks these threads. Some people dislike that I enjoy the musica antiqua koln version of art of fugue over the cold, lifeless renditions on modern piano, but that's pretty much the most exciting thing that happens when I post in /classical/
Also I suspect I introduced a lot of 20th century music here, Ferneyhough, Rautavaara, Schnittke, Auerbach etc.
>>
>>65377365

Depends what you mean by "modern"
I would start with Stravinsky, Debussy, Strauss and Schoenberg in the early 1900s, then work my way through to modern music via Bartok.

This documentary is great for the discovery of 20th century music, starts at late romantic and works through all the main works and phases:

kek.

Kleiber wrote a letter in reply to this:

Telex from Toscanini (Heaven) to Celibidache (Munich):

Dear Sergiu!
We have read you in the Spiegel. You get on our nerves, but we forgive you. We have no choice anyway: forgiveness is in style Up Here. Potato-sack Karli made some objection, but after Kna and I had a heart-to-heart with him, he stopped whining.

Wilhelm now all of a sudden insists that he has never even heard of you. Papa Josef, Wolfgang Amadeus, Ludwig, Johannes, and Anton all prefer the second violins on the right and claim that your tempi are all wrong. But actually, they don’t really give a damn about it. Up here, we are not supposed to care a damn about anything. The Boss does not allow it.

An old Zen master who lives next door says you got it all wrong about Zen Buddhism. Bruno is totally cracked up by your comments. I have the suspicion that he secretly shares your views about me and Karli. Maybe you could say something mean about him for a change; otherwise, he feels so left out.

I hate to break it to you, but everybody up here is totally crazy about Herbert. In fact, the other conductors are a little jealous of him. We can’t wait to welcome him up here in fifteen or twenty years. Too bad you can’t be with us then.

But people say that where you will go the cuisine is much better, and the orchestras down there never stop rehearsing. They even make little mistakes on purpose, so that you have a chance to correct them for all eternity.

I’m sure you will like that, Sergiu. Up here, the angels read the composers’ minds. We conductors only have to listen. Only God knows why I’m here.

Have lots of fun,
In old friendship,
Arturo

Karajan is not above criticism simply because he was esteemed. He was a talented conductor but simply not the super-conductor which he was marketed out to be.

He had his repertoire that he excelled at, and he had quite a bit of repertoire which he did not do well with (like most other conductors).

In truth, his biggest enemy was probably himself. There are dozens of DG recordings with him which are significantly undermined by his own obsessive manipulation in the post-production of the recordings. In just about every instance, when a live recording from him is available, it is probably vastly preferable to that of his studio recordings simply because the latter is often drenched in so much artificiality (this is especially true in the 70s-80s era recordings from him. less so for the recordings that came before, but it is still applicable in some cases)

>>65377957
Funnily enough though, that exact criticism can be applied to Karajan in some instances in regards to tempi, and ALL instances in regards to orchestral seating, since Karajan never put second violins on the right.

The positive relationship between Carl and Herbie is pretty interesting. Their styles were very different in my opinion.

If something is written by a trained composer, and intended for live performance from a written score in the concert hall, it is classical. If not, it aint.

I don't listen to much of Gould, but I remember his recordings being incredibly dry. And, uh, that's about it.
>>
>>65378545
I completely agree. Although his Goldberg Variations are undeniably one of the greatest recordings of all time.
>>
>>65378617
I like his early stuff the best. Mostly the live. There is a fierce BWV 1052 with him and Mitropoulos. And also the Moscow/Salzburg performances are great.

"Well, it can't get any worse than this," I said to Virgil as we surveyed the horrors of the Ninth Ring. Drops of lava were falling around us. To our right, Lucifer lay waist deep in ice, gnashing away on the gizzards of Brutus, Cassius and Judas Iscariot. Virgil looked around guardedly.

"Don't let out this trade-secret, but there's actually a Tenth Ring - or room rather. It sits under Satan's `sewage pipe'. It houses the most notorious SBL of all time."

I raised an eyebrow questioningly. The acronym was new to me.

"SBL - Smug Bach Lover. Most of them have beards that are a fire-hazard in summer; they hang around organ lofts, wear cardigans and sneer at Italian opera. But this guy is virulent - like a Satan Bug. He committed a crime that was so gross that both God and Lucifer acted in unison."

"Who on earth is it?"

"Glenn Gould - or Glenn Ghoul as his adversaries call him."

"He's down there?" I asked. Virgil nodded.

"What crime did he commit?"

"Sure, Gould made that derogatory comment on Mozart - that the composer died too late rather than too soon - but have you ever heard his survey of the piano sonatas? They're an abomination. Mozart's sonatas are creations of their time. They have their own chemistry. If you have the intestinal fortitude, listen to - but do not buy - his cycle. Not a movement goes by wherein the Ghoulster does not try to broadcast their lack of counterpoint from his SBL perspective. I cannot see how anyone who cares one iota for Mozart would countenance such vandalism."

Virgil led me over to a trapdoor and pulled out a key. We trooped down a long shaft. Another door came into view. With effort, my guide swung it open and we walked into a brightly lit studio.

A Steinway was located in the middle of the room. Glenn Gould sat behind it. He looked very 1981-ish and thus bore resemblance to Wolfman Jack. As was his custom, he had lowered his chair so that his hands were arched above the keyboard. Glenn did not notice our intrusion. He was endlessly repeating one study - over and over and over again.

"What on earth is he playing?" I whispered.

"It's an exercise in Alberti Bass - that's his punishment. Until he expiates his sins against Mozart, it won't stop."

"But Amazon is still selling the wretch cycle and it's making new converts by the day. Every time someone perpetuates his error, it makes it all the harder for GG to be absolved of his conceit. Me, I don't understand why people chose him in preference to Mozart: The Piano Sonatas [Box Set], Mozart: Piano Sonatas, Vol. 1 or Mozart: Complete Piano Sonatas; they want to glorify Mozart, not submit him to a polyphonic rack!"

"Then the punishment won't stop until Judgement Day and perhaps beyond."

We left the Ghoulster to his doom. His fate, dear reader, is your hands.

Not true. Bach's Canon with invertible counterpoint at the 10th has no parallel runs of any kind, since 3rds and 6ths invert to 5ths and 8ths. Every interval in that piece is approached via contrary or oblique motion.

That's the simple canon with the invertible counterpoint at the 8ve at 40:20, anon. The one I'm talking about starts at 48 min. Apart from the minor slip up in pic related, I don't think it contains any other parallel intervals.

yeah see still contains parallel motion, laaame

He had tourette though. You can tell by the way he wrote his letters (yes tourette happens while writing).

>>65406354
The original greentext asked for parallel "runs". It has to be at least three notes in thirds for it to be considered a run. Therefore as the piece stands it still doesn't contain parallel runs of any kind. if you're that autistic you can just switch the order of the a and b-flat and you will end up with a piece that literally has no parallel motion of any kind.

>>65406403
IMO runs are at least 2 notes
