>>66021965
You mean Schubert? I like this piece if his.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuG7Y6wiPL8
anyways, im really liking liszt gus. in the op vid, the way he uses chromaticism, like at 1:10, has this cold isolated feeling ive really longed for. Im listening to totentanz right now and he uses this thing a couple of times, but he also likes to make the piano sound heavy which is really cool.
Where do I start with the Romantics beyond like Chopin?
>>66022528
Try this link and listen to this album. Rubinstein is very good.

>>66022073
maybe its the recording that makes it sound heavy actually, but man that was great
>>66022655
Alexander Scriabin - preludes
Johannes Brahms - Hungarian Dances

Liszt was one of the best composers there was. He was very inventive.
Listen to the Mephisto Waltzes (a lot of experimentation with perfect intervals), Bagatelle Sans Tonalite (the "first atonal work"), Totentanz, Dante Sonata (almost impressionistic harmony), and Nuages Gris (my professor goes crazy over this piece.)
People just know Liszt for the wrong reason (virtuosity).

Alright. First thing is to download that Leslie Howard complete survey of Liszt's piano music (I think it's about 99 CDs in total) which features a lot of stuff you won't hear elsewhere.
But otherwise there's a lot to get your teeth into. Most of Liszt's sacred music is stuff you'd never imagine was composed by him: very straightforward and not particularly flashy - mainly because it came from his later period when he decided he was going to be Palestrina mk II and re-invent church music.
Try the Requiem and the mass settings (S.8-11). The Hungarian Coronation Mass (S.11) is particularly fun, featuring the Rákóczi March in the Gloria. There's also the lovely account of Liszt walking by himself along a main street after it was first performed, with the crowds on either side waiting for the coronation procession to come out. They at first have no clue who this priest (since Liszt had taken the vows by this point) walking by himself was. Then news began to spread that it was Liszt the tens-of-thousands strong crowd cheered him all the way back to his apartments. Via Crucis is another fascinating piece (would advise the version for piano and choir)
His two big oratorios are great too: The Legend of St Elisabeth is a good starting point, but he really reaches a pinnacle in Christus - a three-part retelling of Christ's life, encompassing his birth, his teaching and his death. Liszt uses numerous plainchants as themes, giving the work an incredible coherency. I'm very tempted to describe each movement but that will take too long. Definitely worth the listen though.
For 'pure' orchestral works, the symphonic poems are often overlooked in modern concert repertoire. I personally enjoy 6,8,9 and 11 but I'd say all of them are worth at least one listen. Then there's the Dante symphony and Faust Symphony (which famously features the first published tone row in music).
(cont.)
>>66046355
You've listened to the concerti, but I'd recommend relistening to the 1st, in which Liszt uses 3 (arguably 2) themes and builds an entire concerto. It's astounding stuff when you look at it in some detail. Also, if you liked Totentanz, have a listen to his unfinished De Profundis (in the Howard collection). The Wanderer-Fantasie (originally Schubert) in his various arrangements is great too.

I like this comment:
>I don’t think of myself as an “uncultured” pig and I haven’t bought a classical CD in years. Do I really need yet another recording of the Mahler First? I have three already and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra programs the darned thing three or four times a year (at least it seems like it). WFMT, still a wonderful classical radio station after all these years, is there at the flick of a switch. Its band of listeners is small but devoted (and was ever thus). Perhaps we need to stop gauging the health of classical music by counting CD sales. Classical music is not going away, ever.
>>66052880
I don't really buy new recordings myself because a lot of modern performers just don't interest me outside of some HIPsters.

The modern concert hall is like the least authentic way to experience the vast majority of classical works. It's decent for large scale symphonic works from Mahler onwards, but hardly suited for anything else. In fact its proliferation probably contributed more than anything else to the homogeneity and blandness of modern performances.
>>66074122
You know small concert halls exist right?
Most venues have smaller areas that can be used for chamber performances. Most people who organize concerts know what they're doing. if its a chamber concert they get a chamber venue.
If you think all "modern performances" are bland and homogeneous, you really dont know what you're talking about and I'd suggest getting to more concerts.
>>66074244
>>66074244
>Most venues have smaller areas that can be used for chamber performances.
The specifics of the concert hall is irrelevant. The modern concert is a powerful homogeniser when it comes to engaging with repertories from historically diverse cultures and ambiences, which the classical repertoire has increasingly become. Like radio, television, and the high-fidelity stereo set, it puts a frame around the musics for which it serves as a medium-a frame whose immediate effect is to enforce the identification of context as a dimension extrinsic to "the music itself". A classical string quartet, like the solo keyboard pieces of its day, were performed in a small room for a private or semi private gathering, very different from any modern performing venues. Not to mention some features of the music makes absolutely no sense if you were to remove it from the setting and try to make it work for the concert stage.
>If you think all "modern performances" are bland and homogeneous, you really dont know what you're talking about and I'd suggest getting to more concerts.
Do you honestly think the sort of style that proliferates today is even remotely comparable to what we're having fifty, sixty years ago? If you're content with the direction that modern "interpretations", which have basically become a straightforward transcription of the musical score in sound, then I have nothing else to say except may your chains set lightly upon you.

unless that performing venue is a small room.
You really need to get to more concerts. The things you think are happening really aren't an issue, provided the organizers know what they're doing. There's a wide variety of different concerts out there, they aren't all "lets play classical period music on a romantic size orchestra in a massive concert hall".
Most of the orchestras I've seen whittle down their forces if they play pieces older than romantic period, and there are plenty of small, intimate venues that are perfect for chamber music.
do you guys have a wiki where I can find some useful info? I did take a look at the mega links but I can't pick anything besides Liszt which I already heard of.

Where can I find war-like renaissance or medieval music? Not Gregorian chanting, or soft religious stuff; soldiers' songs, marching songs, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75oM6gTVRYM
what is your guys's favorite chord? mine is minor/maj7
>>66081592
Fricsay has the best Thoven 9.
>>66082601
Polychords consisting of major chords a fifth apart are the way to my heart
>>66082764
Oh hah also known as a major 9th chord I just realized.
>>66082601
minor 9th

Has anyone here heard about the concept of counterpoint?
I know you don't like this kind of music, but I'd like to know if someone can tell if counterpoint is used in this chip tune?:

Thanks, anon.
Do you have any more stuff with singing in it? [spoiler]It's cool how Barbarei sounded like modern middle-eastern music.[/spoiler]
>>66084660
Well, that confirms that.
>>66084681
what, that spoilers dont work?
>>66084681
That the "spoilers don't work" warning on 4chanx doesn't work.
I thought it was weird that I could spoiler on so many boards...
>>66071314
I have them and they are great. With one huge caveat.
The thing about the 600s is that they have a very neutral response. This is great for classical as it will be as close as possible to the source as you can get for 300$, you will be able to pick out sounds that you never heard before. Unfortunately this also applies to all of the crackles and pops of old meme recordings. You hear EVERY SINGLE DEFECT and I am not saying this lightly. It really amplifies the shittiness of the already shitty sound quality.
Anyways, buy it unless you exclusively listen to old meme recordings.
>>66082601
I wouldn't know what to call it, or if it would even be worth trying to name in the first place but the chord after 2:27 has a transcendental impact on me for some reason.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUkbjO8dkDI
>>66084356
Well yes technically there is counterpoint but its not worth mentioning really. Counterpoint was a staple of music until we started putting everything on a loop.
Rec me on some Stravinsky please. Already listened to his famous stuff i.e Firebird, Rite Of Spring and Trois Mouvementes.

I go to a lot of concerts here in London, and it seems the venues are always sold out, or at least close to it. Is the US really suffering that much?
>>66084356
Why are you asking about this again? Was my answer before unsatisfactory?
>>66088887
just wanted a second opinion, pham
>>66088782
Yes. They are very dead in the US
>>66088902
The fact that there were only one reply to your question means that that was the consensus. Even monkeys should know this
>>66088934
That's highly regrettable. At least it must translate into some discounted ticket prices, I guess?
>>66088902
I mean, whether or not there is counterpoint is easily determined by listening to it.
It's Anna Magdalene Bach notebook-tier, but it's still counterpoint.

No you can't. Can't you read where you are?
>>66088994
No, and go learn basic economics
>>66089363
I recommend ambient and drone. Any lengthier classical pieces when treated as background music become annoying.
>>66089518
Thanks
>>66089712
And that's a nice recommendation, i'll try to lurk for some of those
>>66089539
Are video game music that use orchestral forces and/or employ compositional techniques pervasive in the Western canon, i.e. counterpoint, still not considered classical music?
>>66089735
>orchestral forces
Not a thing.
>compositional techniques
So do pop music when you count basic harmonics and counterpoint as "compositional techniques".
Fuck off.
>>66089735
The classical period ended nearly 200 years ago m8, video games didn't fucking exist.
>>66089778
Fair enough
>>66089840
I meant classical music with a lowercase c.
>>66084720
If you don't have the option to put a spoiler on a picture then you can't spoiler the sentence either.
>>66088994
It would be the opposite. They would need to sell them higher to make more of the money back.
>>66090158
Eh. Often institutions in financial difficulty and in dire need of liquidity will reduce prices in hope that more people come -- if the seats are empty anyway, there's no reason not to sell them for cheap. National Geographic nearly went bankrupt in the 60s and sold lifetime subscriptions for a pittance, which kept them afloat.

whoever staggered these chords should be shot,
It makes it clearer to read on an analytical level, but it makes it impossible to properly parse each chord. Like the way that we parse a word in a sentence. It's only ever useful when the notes are a major or minor 2nd interval.

Do you even play a string instrument? Just the opposite holds, and hand engravers have been doing it for years.
