HIP = historically informed performance

Trying to replicate what a performance of the piece would have sounded like when it was written by the composer, so period instruments, etc. Generally doesn't sound good, at least according to most here, so gets denigrated in these threads.

>>121775277
Well, what the anti-HIPsters would argue is we are often so far removed from a work's contemporary environment of conception, with many generations of musical and performance progression or change, that historical fidelity sacrifices enjoyment. For an easy example, compare listening to Bach on a harpsichord versus a piano. Odds are the former will, even while still sounding pretty good, will always have an aura of novelty, thus creating a distance or gap between you and the music. Building upon that, I would argue anyway that the composers and artists in general would prefer performing their works in a way that best captures the spirit of the piece transfigured to our contemporary ears, as well as keeps their art alive; it didn't sound archaic to them, so if by just using, say, a piano instead makes the music touch us deeper and stronger, then I'd say doing so does the work more justice.

Of course, like you said, you should try both approaches out and make up your mind on it, and sometimes it can vary depending on the piece -- sometimes the HIP can just sound better, philosophy of the approach irrelevant.

>>121775779
Well, what I laid out in my post applies to myself. Bach on a harpsichord sounds nice, of course, but it has an inexorable aura of novelty, of sounding 'old' and archaic, of being from another time period listened to by people of a different even foreign sensibility and soul, whereas Bach on the piano becomes alive, no longer art and music from another era but simply art and music.

>what the anti-HIPsters would argue is we are often so far removed from a work's contemporary environment of conception, with many generations of musical and performance progression or change, that historical fidelity sacrifices enjoyment.
I don't see that. Most of the time I just see people claiming HIP is either inaccurate or not what composers would have wanted if they had later methods and technology at their disposal.
>>
>>121779551
I didn't wanna address whether or not historical fidelity is even really accurately informed or worthwhile as an effort because I don't know enough about music and the mechanics of classical performances and HIP to comment on it, I have no clue. As for the second part, I kinda address that toward the end with what I say about fidelity to the 'spirit' of the work and composer over its supposed historical reality.

Just imagine for a second that one day you wake up and its all gone. The modern gizmos, technology, the computer, the internet, the starbucks and all the possessions you owned through which you were living a vapid and hedonistic life.

You are now a duelist, a lone man who lives on the sword. All you have left is a spartan room with a rapier hanging on the rack. You open the door out to the bustling streets of 18th-century Seville. Men are dueling outside with some low-born bandits and invite your help with a stern look on their faces. The smell of orange blossoms permeate the air, makes you wanna do a fandango right there and then and a fandango you do...but with "rapiers".

Wtf /classical/? I've heard of Franz Krommer as some obligatory repertoire for clarinetists and I've even listened to his flute concerto, I thought it was a meh, but then listemed to his symphonies and oh dear God. My brain was delightfully caressed and my ears blessed by the quality and fun of listening to his symphonies, they feel like watching a very old not-very famous kids movie. It's somehow like something you've heard before but not quiet. It's beautiful, it's like Beethoven, but sweeter and fairly less intelectual, yet not tastless nor boring amd very imaginative! I recomend you give it a try!

Any recs for more upbeat, energetic, even fun vocal music, particularly songs? Stuff like some of Bach's cantatas or Brahms' Liebeslieder Waltzes, Op. 52 and Op. 65?

It's not "breaking the rules" necessarily. The rules are really that you're not able to recombine notes. The row should be thought of as a movie reel where you can play it forwards of backwards or even fold it on top of itself to get harmonies (hexachordal combinatoriality).

I find it honestly unnecesary and pretentious. (This also applies to Wagner) Even if Ludwig was completely deaf when he wrote this. He definitely knew what he was doing and he was known for making changes to his music several times if he wasn't satisfied with something on it pretending you can "correct" or "improve" an already finished job it's only pretentious and unneceasary. It would only serve as a "tribute" like I think the Grieg's Mozart sonatas arraengments for 2 pianos are. (Those are utterly disgusting and I hate them). However I like by far the original beethoven difinetely knew what he was doing with the instruments he had in his time and the brass and winds phrases Mhaler adds/change feel out of place for me.
>>
>>121807912
>He definitely knew what he was doing and he was known for making changes to his music several times if he wasn't satisfied with something on it
I mean Beethoven DID express a desire to change at least the 9th's finale before dying stopped him so it's not like he wouldn't have done it

There are objective orchestral problems with the ninth symphony. Wagner and Mahler could only assume it was because of Beethoven's deafness, but in fact it was because the instruments had changed since Beethoven's day. They and no one else knew this so they can't be blamed for the rearrangements.

It's perfectly justifiable for an accomplished composer to edit another composer's work if he sees fit.
