Reminder that this is the best recording of Mozart's horn concerti
>>65481030
Thanks. I've been meaning to listen to Mozart's horn concerti for some time.
>>65481122
Brain was basically the best horn player to have lived, at least in the recording age.
It's unfortunate he never got to record all of them with a better Mozart conductor though, he has a recording of the 3rd concerto with Rosbaud, Shame they never recorded all of them together.
>>65481166
I'm reading about his tragic and premature death now. So sad.
Beethoven's 8th features a lot of nice winds moments. Like in the second movement, when the winds through the motifs at each other. The best part is the fourth movement, when the theme is played over the bassoons, it's just too lovely.
Best recording on youtube:

The second movement of Paul Hindemiths symphonic metamorphosis over themes from Carl Maria von Weber features a lot of wind and brass.

Can someone tell me the name of the song at 2:20?

>>65482249
I really think Paul Hindemith is one of the best second-rate composers. Along with Grieg.
I really like this movement :D. Especially when the timpani enter.
This is a very nice interpretation as well.
>>65483771
Bach Cello Suite No. 1. Movement 1: Prelude.
>>65483811
Why is Grieg a second-rate composer?
>>65483936
He's great, but he never achieved the heights of, say, Bartók, Prokofiev, Debussy or Ravel.
>>65483963
>Ravel
uh
What are some good allegro/presto piano pieces for a beginner? Especially homophonic ones with a melody in one hand and an accompanimental figure in another.
I tend to write only what I can personally play without much practice, so any piano part I compose is usually slow and legato, because that's what I know how to play.

>>65483963
Fair enough.
>>65485272
Don't really browse /classical/ but just dropping in to say Dennis Brain was fucking incredible.
>>65485420
Did not mean to make that a reply
>>65483811
Hindemith's solos are always so flattering for the instruments they're for.

>>65488251
Any other essential horn pieces, except for Mozart and this album? I need some recs.
>>65488994
Carter's horn concerto & Brahms' horn trio.
>>65489050
Thanks. Will listen to those, too.

Who else wrote good chamber music featuring horns?
>>65488994
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxTAvkDFaRQ
The two horns play major parts in the opening chorus, and comes back for the chorale. They don't play during the middle movements though.
Has anybody by chance got pic related in their collection? Can't torrent right now and I can't find a dd or stream either.

It seems to me that Grieg is underrated because the genres within which he shone brightest aren't genres that most people associate with "great works". His piano miniatures can hold their own against those of any other composer from his generation, and he also wrote better songs than any of the people just listed.
I could definitely understand calling him second-rate on the basis of the Piano Concerto and the String Quartet and the other well-known large works, but those give an incomplete picture of his achievements.
>>65489985
90% sure i do i can check in a couple hours when i'm home. how do i get it to you?
>>65490807
Ahh, I'd really appreciate that.
Have you got a Mega account?
>>65490923
negative. is there any easy no signup/minimal signup vitrifaction whatever required file sharing service that's popular these days?
>>65491649
If it's smaller than 200MB you can put it on zippyshare
Where else does one go if they want HUGE works like Mass In B Minor or The Planets? I am really intrigued with these behemoths that go beyond just the symphony in terms of scale.
>>65491945

>>65492219
These were just what I was looking for thanks.
>>65492604
Nah. I don't mind choral parts, but still not necessarily an opera.
>>65493318
You might wanna look more into theory if this is becoming a problem. Even if you already know it pretty well might wanna look back at old notes and stuff.
>>65493390
I want to post what I just wrote here but I feel like I'd just get laughed it. Literally sounds like second rate jazz imo. Any books (preferably online) you cold recommend?
>>65493418
Somebody just posted the composition general. All the online resources you'll need are there, and you should post your thing there, too.
>>65493418
Not him, but just stick to a circle of fifths progression-type progression, simple stuff and you should get out of the jazz sound.
>>65493531
This general
>>65493511
>>65493531
Ok thanks pham.
Might as well post something /classical/ too.

What do you guys think of the Poulenc piano concerto?
>>65489621
Schubert wrote that song for horn, voice and piano that's quite nice. Auf Dem Strom.
>that moment at the end of the cadenza at the end of the first movement of Prokofiev's piano concerto when the brass smashes through the frantic piano like some sort of titanic monster
More Dennis Brain.

Mahler occasionally employs choir, and every one of his symphonies are pretty large.
You might want to check out "Earth Dances" by Harriosn Birtwistle. It's newer, but also utlizes a huge orchestra.
>>65491945
Seconding >>65494428
If you haven't already, perhaps you may want to check out Mahler's Symphonies? They're pretty massive
>>65493318
That isn't necessarily bad. You could try to incorporate various forms into your music as Kurt Weill did.
who is the best composer of chamber music and why is it a tubby mushroom?
>>65494428
>>65495253
I have been holding off on checking out Mahler, but I guess it's about time. Thanks guys.
Earth Dances is doing it for me, too. It's surprisingly cinematic kinda makes me feel like I am listening to a big boy version of something from John Williams or Hans Zimmer (both half decent and generic Zimmer.) Oh man idk about you guys, but when I hear so many moving parts in music work so well together it puts me in like idk how to explain it but I feel like I am high without actually getting high.
>>65493580
Was the beginning part supposed to sound slightly Romantic before he totally veers off in a different direction?

Call it firetruck shit if you want, I think it's nice.
>>65495853
Tubba blubba.
Why are women such plebs when it comes to classical? Even those who major in music know jack shit about it.
>>65497780
The first major composer was a woman though. : / Also that doesn't take into account female singers.
>>65498461
Female singers have about as much understanding of the music they're singing as a circus monkey does of the physics behind his trick.
>>65498584
Whatever you say.

Friendly reminder that Schub's String quintet in C is the GOAT chamber piece, after op. 131 of course.

When will women die? When betas stop orbiting.
>>65483811
Grieg is first rate. Its not disputed
>>65483963
Grieg is more well known and respected than all of those composers put together
>>65504068
I like Grieg too but the average classical fan probably has a higher respect for Debussy or Ravel than Grieg.
>>65502962
Thanks for checking anyway. Worst case scenario is I buy it used from Amazon.
The winds in Mozart's piano concertos are pretty prominent.
