Does /pol/ listen to classical music?
Daily reminder that classical is the only based and non-degenerate type of music.
Let's get started with some Liszt:

NO DRUGS
NO ALCOHOL
NO DEGENERACY
Classical music was often associated with nationalism.
Here's some Dvorak. The conductor was a Nazi, if you're into that sort of thing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRGE1MvXkz8
>>70293880
Dont be a faggot.
Its not the only non degenerate music you fucking kike
>>70294024
>I disagree with you so you're a JEW! WAAAAAAAA
Here's some Tchaikovsky from the USSR:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V883JPpd_Sc
Kogan is a criminally underrated violinist
Chopin was a Polish nationalist:

bonjour! What's your favorite Ravel piece?
Classical is the only music I listen to. Anything modern is drivel intended to dumb down and make pliable the masses.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg2i2NB-i3o
The story goes that Ravel wrote this after World War I as an obituary to old Austria using old sketches from before the war.
>>70294821
What are some of your favorite pieces?
>>70293880
I listen to metal, but agree that most modern music is degenerate, including some metal. If I was to outlaw "degenerate music", I would either outlaw everything except for classical or allow any genre as long as the lyrics were not degenerate.
There exists objective beauty and the classical model of composition is the most in line with objective standards
Bach at the top of it
This is in line with objective beauty in other media, reaching peaks before modenist influences
As a composer Wagner wasn't the greatest of them all but he had a very good sense of drama.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXh5JprKqiU
For some reason lefties in Europe still tries to sabotage Wagner productions.
>>70295157
Honestly, Romantic isn't bad at all. Tod und Verklärung is a masterpiece, though Bach is certainly amazing.
Thanks for the thread OP, classical music is the greatest gift mankind has ever given itself. Classically trainer violinist here... will be dropping some violin masterpieces soon... just on my phone and haven't grabbed the links yet.
I've read that the only human music that aliens like is classical. They can't comprehend it's beauty.
>>70295217
His overtures are excellent as well. Rienzi, Tannhäuser, Flying Dutchman are all very good overtures.
>>70295226
Agreed, romantic had advantages in being able to play off of the work of previous generations and used more emotional appeal. It is beautiful because it is written along structure

Fantastic taste
>>70295701
I always enjoy Hahn's interpretations of Bach. Sometimes they're a bit fast for me but she's very methodical and good at bringing out the counterpoint.
Probably Kogan's is my favorite Chaconne but I'm a tad biased because of my Russian teacher:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxuiPqeIJwU
>>70295044
Tchaikovsky is pretty decent orchestral music.
I also am also a fan of Haydn's string quartets.
And although it is not strictly classical, I am irrationally fond of many eighteenth and nineteenth century hymnals.
>>70295947
Tchaikovsky's ballet suites are straight 10/10
Do you have any particular favorite orchestral work of his?

Swan lake and the 1812 festival overture come to mind. Great stuff if entirely different experiences to listen too.

Kek that's funny because honestly every single other violinist I've communicated with on 4chan has had a Russian beast of an instructor. Although to be fair I've only been to /mu/ a handful of times.

this is my favorite
>>70299260
Good taste. One of the best piano works ever written.
>>70298766
You mean like Schoenberg?
>>70293880
Mozart's Flute and Harp Concerto has been occupying me lately. Also a lot of Haydn, I don't understand how two people can write so much fucking good music. The Classical era was glorious.
>>70299569
You familiar with the Mozart Bassoon concerto?
>>70294012
kek, I knew it was Karajan before even clicking the link
he did some really nice Dvorak recordings
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpOtuoHL45Y&nohtml5=False
I wish I could play the piano. who /notalent/ here?
>>70299820
I wish I could afford a piano.
I went to a Beethoven 9th Symphony concerto last month and oh my god was it beautiful.
I couldn't stop thinking of genociding minorities to the tune of alle menschen werden brueder.
I love classical music.
How can modern artists even compete with Haydn, Handel, Bach, Ravel, Beethoven or Dvorak?
I love Steve Reich, Philip Glass and Max Richter but they lack that special something that makes classical music have such grandeur.
>>70299861
You can buy an electric piano for like 200$.
>>70299820
Only very few people have talent, 99% of the people that play music or are musicians are because they studied and practised for years.
You can do it too, nobody is stopping you.
>>70299820
oh shit I just finished playing Liebestraum, I picked it up in December
my favorite recording is probably by Rubenstein
blame the Jews all you want, they have some pretty fucking talented musicians - Barenboim, Zimerman, Rubenstein, Perlman are the ones I can name off the top of my head but I'm sure there's many more
and for /notalents/, it's never too late to start learning
>>70299861
As a 20 year piano teach and concert pianist, I will tell you right now: learn to tune, and look on craigslist. Specifically if your town has one, a local garage sale website.
You would be amazed at how many people have a piano that they just want to get rid of, and don't want to pay a moving company to do it. If you have 3-5 strong friends you can usually find one for free.
>>70297260
I like Kogan. Russian school is good. Basically as long as it's a man playing g and he's not Asian, I'm happy. Shillary Hahn is a faggot.
Am I the only one that likes to add changes and new parts to songs on the piano? I like adding and changing the classics to my taste a bit, stuff like moonlight sonata and claire de lune can get a bit boring after a few months practice, and adding an extra minute of variety can really help me
>>70300631
I do that same.
I also like taking the chord progression of a song and then simply improvising over it while sparsely adding original bits from the song.
>>70300114
>>70300196
Y-you sure have a nice taste in doujins senpai.
I don't think I can get into music though; I don't know how to read the goddamn notes (we learned them in middle school, but I didn't pay much attention because we never got to practice with an actual instrument)
>>70299352
The majority of music I listen to is composed by japanese (can't name them, I'm posting from my phone right now), but Schoenberg is also pretty fucking skilled.
His music transports my mind to places, you know?
>>70300863
I stopped taking classes years ago and I can say i have forgotten how to read sheet music, now when I want to learn a song I just have to listen to it.
Besides, nowadays you can get something like Synthesia on your PC and learn to play piano with that very easily.
If you really want to learn you can just go to a private teacher for a couple of months to learn the basics and then you can continue on your own.

I was just listening to beethovens 5th symphony actually.
I know it's like the naruto of classical music, but still.
>>70301219
Unlike Naruto, the 5th symphony is good.
>>70300999
Thanks mate..
I have a friend who has been taking piano lessons for a few years now, maybe I should consult him first. I haven't heard him play but if he's willing to (and can) teach me even the most basic stuff, it would be awesome.
I've been actually thinking about creating music of some sort recently, but I haven't researched much.
Classical would be a great start IMO.

If you have time, really look up Synthesia on PC. It's a really good (and free) program to learn piano with.
If you want to learn a song you can just find a MIDI for it and learn it with that.
>>70301713
I'll give a try, man.
Really, thank you.

Love classical in general, but nothing is better than Schubert's art songs and song cycles. Tchaikovsky composed some great pieces, as did Strauss and Purcell, though I may be biased as a bass.

The whole Winterreise song cycle is bloody fantastic.

Yeah but you're like, supposed to have an electronic piano or synth with a MIDI conenction and connect your keyboard to the computer, and play with that keyboard. Not with your computer keyboard.
Otherwise, you can use it as a kind of guitar hero where you just see which keys come in and play them on your IRL piano.
You're not going to learn much by playing on a PC keyboard.
>>70302568
I don't have one, and I can't get one.
I'm still kinda learning something though, it's better than nothing I guess.

it's all about noticing patterns & positioning your hands accordingly, practice gives results though, I started half a year ago & can now play most pieces, practicing on more advanced ones now
>>70295217
I'd say Wagner's opera's are definitely among the greatest music ever.
It's still fucking hard to sit through one though.
>>70302660
Wagner wrote great operas, but they're definitely less approachable than those of Mozart, Verdi, Bellini, or Gounod, simply due to how the music reacts to and follows the emotional temperament of the moment (of the opera)
Some more modern stuff.

>>70293880
What about music like the Rite of Spring?
https://youtu.be/VZPbYO0tnww
The example here is extreme (because titties), but it was controversial since the premiere in 1913. Would /pol/ consider music that is designed to be primitive, shocking, and ugly to be degenerate?
>>70302484
>nothing is better than Schubert's art songs and song cycles
Except for Schubert's chamber music, keyboard music, and final symphony.
Has anyone here ever listened to Ryuichi Sakamoto? He does play classical tracks, but he also does ambient-sounding stuff and even electronic as well.
Check out "Music for Yohji Yamamoto" (it starts really slow and quiet, but it picks up).
"Cendre" is an interesting fusion of ambient and piano, and it's one of my favourite albums. It calms me down like nothing else and I forget about my worries.
I might've used the wrong words in some sentences, please correct me if I have.

Many more complex pieces can be catchy if you listen keenly and enjoy them deeply.

Music written for dancing is only one facet. Catchy is an important quality of dance music, but not necessarily for others. Broaden your horizons, brah.

Wagner imo was the greatest, with his synthesis of the arts into one pure form. A shame that Hitler ruined his legacy as well as because of him Meyerbeer is rarely known today. I highly recommend going to Bayreuth.

I have a classical music playlis from a big collection I downloaded, but I keep it separate from my actual music playlist.
I've gotten into classic rock within the last year. Any band with Steve Morse in it is golden.It's also sad to see how Kansas only has like 3 songs that actually get attention when they have dozens of other tracks that are superior to those 3.
>>70293880
i dont really listen to classical music, i just tend to like music with classical undertones. give me some calming woodwinds and violas and mix that with something that has a bit more energy to it, and you got me listening.
though i should really give more classical stuff a try. dont know where to start though :/

There's a lot of music in this thread to check out, especially for folks new to classical. But if you like piano concerti and you haven't heard it, do yourself a favor and check out Prokofiev 2nd Concerto. It has great themes throughout plus a monster cadenza.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Kwajecmh2c
Nice to see all of you here. I am a professional composer, theorist, and producer.

Shostakovich is the shit. Master symphonist and has amazing chamber works too. I love his harmonic language. One of the few in that time to experiment with things like Lydian #2 #6 and Ionian b5 (lydian b9).

I have a classical music playlis from a big collection I downloaded, but I keep it separate from my actual music playlist.
I've gotten into classic rock within the last year. Any band with Steve Morse in it is golden.It's also sad to see how Kansas only has like 3 songs that actually get attention when they have dozens of other tracks that are superior to those 3.

I hate Ravel because of Bolero

>>70306480
The astonishing beauty and subtlety of his other orchestral works makes up for Bolero easily.

I like him.
Any love for Isaac Albeniz? Suite Esanola is my jam.

You're a pleb if this is what you think of when you think of Bolero. Bolero was a orchestration exercise. He referred to it as a piece for orchestra without music. Listen to Daphnis or Miroirs.

It's because leftists and liberals are trying to convince everyone that they have the lone rights on being human and human emotions. Everyone feel pain, sadness and happiness just in different forms. Everyone have their own personal struggles.
Art comes from all places and takes from all walks of life yes, but you cannot deny the importance of inheriting, conserve and refine the techniques and tools that the old masters entrusted to the new generations. For us as a collective human race to turn around and shit on their hard work is a fucking disgrace. We are not standing on their shoulders anymore we are falling from them.

Here's the best internet classical station I know:
http://www.allclassical.org/
It's spring now, though, so they're going to have a charity drive. Summer and winter are the best times, since it's 95% music and 5% telling you what the music/program is about. Sundays at 6 PM Pacific is one of my favorite times to listen; they play a 2 hour recording of the NY Philharmonic hosted by Alec Baldwin with commentary from the conductor(s).

Literally what you are saying is total bullshit and politicizes this way too much through the lens of your own bias.
I am a liberal. I am a leftist. I have a masters in music theory and composition. I have intimated studied the last 1,000 years of music history and carefully curated it all to teach my students (private teaching).
I had many leftists professors (I had some awesome conservative mentors as well) but the idea that the left is destroying the sanctity of art music is FALSE. If anything the people advocating for people to stop study humanities (i.e. right wing) are the ones doing this.
Where else do people learn about Common Practice Western Music? Literally the only place to study classical music seriously is in a conservatory or university. The rest of the world shows no respect for the art form. So I argue its the opposite, liberals and liberal universities are the ones that have most strongly preserved the heritage of Western music.
Studying Western music without a mentor is very difficult as it requires the intersection of many facets of knowledge (ear training, theory, history, composition, performance, etc). It's not something someone sitting in their house can just pick up and roll with (you kind of can but severely limited).
So I argue instead, perhaps leftists have made the general culture more "Experimental" and "reactionary" but to place the blame on leftists all together is just wrong because we are the ones preserving the art form the most.

>>70308424
If this were 10 years ago, you'd be right, but the left has shit the bed, and now sees western music as problematic, racist and oppressive.
>>70308603
You're talking to a person inside the field of musicology and music history. I don't know where you are getting "see it as problematic, racist, and oppressive"
I saw a few research papers about Wagner being anti-semitic but that's literally the peak of it. One was refuted by a guy shortly after in the same musicology conference.
I happen to think you don't have credibility in the subject and you are just pulling it out of your ass.
>>70308793
I'm talking about leftists in general. You are talking about musicians. Musicians who understand music are fine (I am one btw), but don't pretend like you haven't seen the retarded shit the modern day leftists have been up to.

Oh, right right. That section of the left is literally retarded and makes me cringe so fucking hard. Regressive left.
But then again there are equally retarded parts of the right... The general population is just dumb as fuck and uncultured swine. They all need more art music.

I agree. The retarded right these days are not nearly as loud as the regressive left these days. As musicians we need to watch each others backs, as all arts are considered pretty lefty and we are running out of allies on that side.

>Implying art has to be beautiful
>Be European, spend your whole life painting just to make a picture of some rich, inbred, old guy
>So artistic, so creative
Face it classic European art, while nice to look at, isn't the only type of good art.

the 2nd is one of my favorite pieces to play on piano. Took me ages to learn it. :P

You are too interested in your own opinion to understand what I wrote so I'll take it slow.
Left and liberals is trying to convince us that they have the lone rights on being a human.
Art is an expression that belongs to everyone regardless of what walk of life you belong to.
And what this guy is saying >>70308904
All sides has it's fair share of retards. This is not my opinion but taken straight from a documentary I can't remember right now. But in there some world leaders got asked what their favorite piece of music was and it turned out to be Ode to joy. The crux was that every leader managed to twist that musical piece to fit into their ideology and justifying that it was celebrating just their political view. Which made the presenter theorize that it was actually celebrating humanity since it apparently managed to be everything at once..

>all this love for classical music
it is in moments like this when i love /pol/
>mfw being cultured, wanting to learn how to play and learn about decent music is now counter cultural and edgy
not sure whether to be hopeful and uplifted that sane and non degenerate people exist or disappointed with society. Both I think.
Classical attracted the greatest minds of the time, it was the realm of the genius, the best of humanity. People who today run particle accelerators then flooded to classical music. Is there bad classical from the past nowadays? No, it is all forgotten, anything bad, anything short of the best, of spectacular is lost to time, no mediocrity will be remember 2 centuries later. This means for 5 centuries over classical music we get the concentrated best of a community of the best of western civilization. The concentrated best of humanity for 5 fucking centuries. Classical music cannot be equaled, works like that of Johann Sebastian Bach are equivalent to the Pyramids of Giza, monuments to the unattainable best humans can naturally come up with. Conceived in the minds of the greatest they cannot even be understood, just appreciated, gazed at like stars in the sky.
I like Classical music.

Jazz too should be appreciated for a beautiful art form, before the corruption and simplification of the artform as a whole (that doesn't mean modern music is bad, I love plenty, just that it isn't nearly as good). Jazz will never reach the heights of classical but its still amazing. Classical I feel is static, all from the composer, genius preserved forever to be approximated in rendition. Jazz's beauty varies with the performer and the variations from improv, it is fluid and human. Jazz is certainly not pleb and belongs, below but along with classical as a truly great artform.
