"Since about 1750, famous composers have found it very hard to comprehend other famous composers. The only exceptions, off hand, that I can think of to this rule are three: Haydn's friendship with Mozart, Saint-Saëns's friendship with Fauré, and Brahms' friendship with Dvorak. Otherwise, the history of Western music is to a large extent a history of compositional giants bucketing each other.

Examples: Berlioz dismissed Händel as 'a great barrel of pork and beer.'"

"Mendelssohn described Berlioz's music as 'such a frightful muddle; such an incongruous mess that one feels like washing one's hands.' Tchaikovsky referred to Brahms as 'a talentless shit'. Brahms called Bruckner 'a poor deranged man' and a 'swindle that will be forgotten a year or two after my death'. '

Not any of those anons, but for me, it's probably as a result of we never stopped living in the romantic era, or at least post-romantic. So the symphonies and other works of those that other anon listed just resonates and clicks with me more deeply and joyously than that of anyone from the classical era. Mozart still sounds great, but do I feel anything from his symphonies compared to what I feel compared to Brahms? No, so the former comes across as 'pretty but disconnected,' art of a bygone era for different people.

By the sheer number of tourisrt upset, you can know Hurwitz is completely in the right, they barely even listen to music, let alone their belovef Bach.

The "trinity" is a German attempt at monopolizing art. Germans somehow convinced rest of the world that eveyone else is inferior and their art is not worth your time. You don't get to argue that French, Scandinavians, Russians or Americans did it better, because German propaganda mindfucked sheeple, which somehow lasted for generations. You are the victim of German indoctrination.

And I don't hate German music, it is truly great, but if you somehow fail to see that both can be true at the same time, you're a victim of divide&conquer phenomenon. There are no sides, all nations have great music and their own styles and traditions, sooner you realize that the better.

>>123787005
I never said Bach, Mozart of Beethoven were bad. They're top composers, but the "muh trinty" is tourist lie.

Yes I get that, but there are some who would argue that modernism and thereby post-modernism are extensions of romanticism. Not saying that's necessarily my position, so let's just move past it and say perhaps it is because the romantic era is still near enough to us to be artistically relevant, and the classical era is not.

>>123787348
That's not a rebuttal whatsoever to what I said, as I'm not talking about quality, but artistic relevance and connection. I don't get what's controversial about the more contemporary an artwork is, the more it will resonate with people of today.
>>
>>123787389
>but artistic relevance and connection.
so in other words, cardi b and the hawk tuah girl. you're a crack smoking idiot if you think any random person off the street would recognize a single one of those poets you named.
>the more contemporary an artwork is, the more it will resonate with people of today.
that's not controversial. what's controversial is your delusion than romanticism is somehow remotely contemporary when it's obviously not to anyone who isn't terminally online.
>>
>>123787255
>Since childhood.

That doesn't tell us anything since you're evidently still a child.
>>
>>123787410
It's obviously not literally contemporary, it's just closer and more relevant to our age than anything from the classical era. All I'm saying is I get why someone would be stone-faced when listening to Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven, but love Dvorak, Brahms, and Schumann.
>>
>>123787433
>it's just closer and more relevant to our age than anything from the classical era.
yeah, the same way that hepatitis B is more healthy for you than AIDS. so fucking what? none of it is relevant to anyone alive today and all of them require a significant degree of abstract thought in order to rationalize and enjoy today. you're just a blithering dimwit who isn't self conscious enough to realize it.

You said many romantic composers were "highly preferable" over Bach/Mozart/Beethoven, and then all of a sudden you switch to romantic composers being 'more relevant'. So which is it?
>>
>>123787481
That's me, not him.

>>123787475
...really, that's your counter? Alright I'm done on this topic.
>>
>>123787492
yeah, my counter is that you're a delusional self-centered retard who has no idea how disconnected from anything from the 19th century (and more importantly, stupid) the average person is.
>>
>>123787492
>Alright I'm done on this topic

lmfao.
>>
>>123787498
You're just being disingenuous by claiming to not understand that people today would have an easier time grasping and connecting with the emotional tone of something by Tchaikovsky over something by Mozart.
>>
>>123787553
yeah, they wouldn't, because neither of those 2 composers have any relevance whatsoever to the average person today. they're relevant to YOU, and you have no comprehension of theory of mind because you're a low IQ retard, so you think that it applies to everyone else too just because it applies to you.
>>
>>123787574
Except Tchaikovsky's music is used in other forms of media all the time to evoke a specific emotional mood, speaking to its wide relevancy and immediate connection.
>>
>>123787553
I like Tchaikovsky more than anyone, personally, but I'm not going to deny the trinity and be contrarian about it. That's typical chud and tranny behavior. Nothing to do with music. It could be about hamburgers and they'll still pull this shit.
>>
>>123787602
by this logic, eine kleine nachtmusik is used even more often than any tchaikovsky piece, meaning that it should be just as if not even more relevant. of course, this has no bearing on recognizability or comprehension of either of these 2 composers; it only relates to their use in popular media. and even still, they would be eclipsed today in relevancy by orders of magnitude by the hawk tuah girl. are you close to getting it yet?
>>
>>123787617
Again, I'm not saying Tchaikovsky or any other romantic era composer was better than the big three, just that I can understand why someone would prefer the former over the latter for the reasons I wrote.
>>
>>123787637
Fair enough. I am one of those who do like him myself, but just saying. He still stands on their shoulders.
