Superior Brahms requiem coming through.
Op. 131 GOAT quartet. Yay or yay?

yes

nah

Age group, demographic of people who use 4chan tend to be social rejects. Classical fags tend to be normies and so less likely to use 4chan, let alone often.
>>65607746
>Classical fags tend to be normies
'no'
>>65607869
ever been to a classical concert?
Literally normies as far as the eye can see.
>>65607938
same applies for any other type of concert
>>65607746
If not op. 131 then op. 130 or 132. You cannot deny this.
>>65607938
Yeah because they're all fucking 80.
>>65608005
Then you've been going to the wrong concerts.
>>65607968
not really. Go to a metal concert: alternative types with studded leather jackets as far as the eye can see. Go to a reggae concert: dreads and hippies as far as the eye can see.
Classical audiences are as normal as they get: old people in suits, smartly dressed young people. most males are clean shaven and have short hair.

Beethoven isn't the be-all end-all of string quartets. Some sections of his late quartets are downright garish

>>65608058
Just because someone has a different opinion than you, no need to insult their taste.
We didn't insult your taste last year when your favorite piece was Beethoven 5
And no I dont think any part of Bartok 4 is garish. if anything its the opposite. Its full of integrity and thoughtfulness. If the definition of garish is "obtrusively bright and showy", then bartok 4 could be described as "subversively dark and introspective"
>>65607702
I think I have a 1987 recording of the Wiener Philharmoniker that I'm fond of.
>>65608144
I see shit taste, I call it out, and you have no idea what my favorite piece is or was
>the late quartets are showy and not introspective
You can't help but be wrong I see
>>65608207
>I have shit taste, which makes me think everyone else has shit taste
Still nothing to back up your opinion though. If you think liking Bartok gives you shit taste, you might just be a common practice pleb
Mozart's quartets are better than Thoven's and Bartok's
If you're going to meme Thoven you should at least meme on topic.

Ugh... this is one of my least favorite of the major choral works

Schoenberg's choral works are underrated.
>>65608963
I think you probably mean "overlooked"
I'm familiar with many of his lieders, but I'm completely ignorant about his choral music. Thanks for the heads up -- I'm now listening to one of them, and I quite like it.

>choral music with female singers
>>65609273
What's wrong with female singers?
>>65609296
weakens his innate faggotry
>>65608943
It's not modern, it's eternal.
>>65609296
It's a relatively recent invention, that hopefully won't catch on.
>>65609320
But anon even composers knew the superiority of boipucci over womemes.
>>65609452
The church banning women is the recent development. I know it is difficult to believe there was life before 4004BC but female choruses are as old as humanity.
>>65609539
It's fine to contemplate the history of communal singing in modern humans, when the topic at hand, namely that of the literate western classical tradition, stretches back no further than AD 800. And for the majority of that duration choral music can be, and indeed often was performed exclusively by men.

mendelssohn's chamber music is so fucking beautiful jesus christ
Absolutely revelatory. This pretty much deprecates all previous recordings of the Super Voces mass.

there's definitely a knee jerk reaction that woman musicians hold priority to a music of feeling and abstract ideas over any theory or taste.
I find I have to correct myself when approaching recordings by woman pianists, more than once I've read an info book to a CD where it portrays the female pianist to hold abstract ideas that connect the music to emotions, (for example the synaesthesia Helen Grimaud, or reclusive Martha Argerich,)
The only exception where my perception is 100% positive is the violinist Hilary Hahn,
Or if it's a female asian player who isn't Midori

Classical music needs to be listened to in a high quaility.
Just heard Valentine Silvestrov's Diptych for the first time a few months ago. It's great.

What are your favorite requiems?
>>65607644
It depends, does Carre by Stockhausen count? Otherwise it's probably Ein deutsches Requiem for me, too.
bbuuump
The recording I like isn't on youtube anymore, but Mendelssohn's Die Erst Walpurgisnacht is underrated imo.

Richafort's requiem is pretty much without peer. The entire composition is a homage to Josquin on multiple levels. It's also really neat once you realise that canonic middle voices are literally "surrounded" by the outer voices in pitch, but also in mode, just like the text they are singing: "The Laments of death have surrounded me".
>>65612885
could you reccomend a good flac player?
>>65607938
Yeah but most don't really get it
>at brahms second symphony
>people start applauding at the end of the first movement because they thought it was already over
It was embarrassing, the conductor just chuckled and a violinist looked shocked

When listening to music I first check to see if the player is a Jew, and if so I find a different player
What are some easy contemporary piano pieces for beginner (1st year)?
I need to learn an easy piece for an admission exam but I'm bored of Anna Mag's and Nannerl's notebooks.
I already tried Mikrokosmos and Les Cinq Doigts.
Any suggestions?

Clean cut and handsome isn't Normie. Laid back and with no care about "dressing smartly" is.
