Tonality is more like an artificial system imposed on music at the start of the baroque which people have been struggling to work within or escape from ever since. Except in the classical era when they loved that shit and they believed they were imitating the regularity of greco-roman music, which they actually knew nothing about.
>>123927493Your behavior is similar to that of monkey
>>123927563yes, tonality was forced upon baroque composers by… what exactly? hitler? god?>>123927568as opposed to slaves, which are in fact indistinguishable from monkeys.

Ockeghem was claimed by Webern, along with his younger Flemish contemporary Obrecht, as a source of profound inspiration. It is a basic concision which they share, but of course Ockeghem's finely spun melodies are far out of proportion to Webern's, and this is certainly the aspect of his music which appeals most directly to the modern listener. The melodies seem to go on forever, never losing their sense of invention or identity, and so it is this fundamental melodic integrity which can be seen as the driving force behind Ockeghem's contrapuntal prowess. This is one way in which he differs from other great contrapuntists in Western history, as Ockeghem never lets technique obscure his material, and such brilliant material it is! By adopting different phrasings in difference voices, and employing deceptive or partial cadences, Ockeghem allows his melodies to continue unimpeded by the structural design of the music. In that sense, they contribute to the architecture while at the same time being buoyed by it. It is only too clear that Ockeghem had mastered the idea of "never-ending melody" long before it became a rallying cry.
>>123927680Of course it is precisely the ambivalent cadences and essential lack of climaxes which make Ockeghem's masses so difficult to wrap one's mind around, and then it is the continuously spun legato line which makes them physically daunting. The latter is, however, more benefit than fault, as they do not require any superhuman breathing, but rather subtle and perilously gained insights into the nuances of phrasing. For anyone obsessed with the finest details of phrasing, Ockeghem's music provides a reservoir of seemingly infinite depth. Wrestle with it for a while, and anything else seems either nonsense or child's play.
>>123927680>>123927687yes, but what pieces by ockeghem should one listen to?

>>123924298Yeah, it's one of those rare Kleiber performances that show him at his best. Miles above his studio Beethoven.
>>123927890great question wignat schizo>>123927906yeah, i really enjoyed it, too bad about the lack of an exposition repeat in the first and last movements. lazy fuck.
So this general is basically under the thumb of one black janny that has a hateboner for classical music?
>>123927956yes wignat schizo, the black israelite janitors are out to get you.
>>123927964Says the faggot thinking everyone who disagrees with them is a tranny
>>123927906Something wrong with Kleiber's Concertgebouw Beethoven?
>>123927978so true schizo sister, so true. >>123927993if you insist, wignat schizo. don’t let the black israelite tranny jannies bite.
>>123924444Nice quads. HIPisms in this context are things such as the shrinking of the orchestra, the minimizing of vibrato, the clippings of phrasing, implementing sharp, jumpy accents, and, of course, the utilization of period instruments. Not all HIPisms are bad, but I find that, especially with modern performances, the aforementioned aesthetic characteristics are exaggerated to the point of caricature and are detrimental to Beethoven's compositions.
>>123927979You're talking about Erich Kleiber, we're talking about Carlos. Erich Kleiber's Concertgebouw recordings are actually quite nice, especially the 7th IMO, but I don't know if they make my list of favorite mono Beethoven.Actually, Carlos has a Concertgebouw 7th as well, recorded much later.
>>123928109carlos actually has a 4th and another 7th with the concertgebouw that was exclusively released by philips on video. i don’t think it was ever even released on DVD.
>>123927895
>>123928237I think I heard that 4th on video at one point but I don't remember for sure.
>>123928109>You're talking about Erich Kleiber, we're talking about CarlosRight. Carry on :^)
Is it just me or are Vivaldi's works overshadowed by the Four Seasons (not even the full set of 12 violin concertos) and La Stravaganza?
>>123928420not really, all his concerti basically sound the same.
>>123928420It would be more accurate to say that Vivaldi had five hundred ideas for a concerto, and that none of them ever was fully worked out. It is only after his wonderful opening bars, his extraordinary beginnings (which taught J. S. Bach so much), that his concertos bog down and begin to resemble each other in the deployment of harmonic cliches-cliches which would not matter (as they do not matter in Handel) if the large harmonic form were coherent and interesting, the cliches given a sense of direction and movement instead of a feeling of jogging on a treadmill.Vivaldi's operas are coming in for attention now: the same faults and virtues are manifest there. The arias begin strikingly, but continue with little of Handel's energy, Bach's intensity, or Alessandro Scarlatti's subtlety. These deficiencies are less crippling here: an aria is generally much shorter than a concerto movement. In comparing Vivaldi to Bach and Handel, some of his admirers (Marc Pincherle, for example) either refused to face his weaknesses, or else-what is worse-they never understood the strengths of the already established masters.

>>123926901>>123926973>>123927315I hate baked beans they’re so gross and beany and their sauce gets everywhere -not like you
>>123924460When I was really obsessed only a month or so back, I was listening to classical almost from waking up to sleep, so like... 10-12 recordings day from start to finish? But it's kinda waning now, getting back into reading and such, so down to like 3-5 a day now.
Having said that I’ve really only had Heinz baked beans or similar which are the disgusting ones. Perhaps there exist baked beans, say from New England, that are actually good: I live in hope. And I do enjoy other beans, butterbeans, white bean casseroles, stews and salads- kidney beans? Not so much.
>>123928912It’s funny to think you’ve almost certainly listened to more classical music than any classical composer(barring the newer ones)
>>123928420Winter is the only that sounds somewhat like the season it’s named after
>>123928947lol because the older composers were only able to hear music live, right? That's true. But they certainly understood it far deeper than I!Must be interesting living in those times though, when listening to, say, Beethoven's 9th was a special occasion thing you only got to experience every so often, whereas now we can hear it on demand as many times as we like.
>>123928877Sisterjanny still deleting these posts
>>123928420Four Seasons is extremely catchy and memorable, much like Moonlight Sonata or 2nd Nocturne, for example. Composers always tend to have a piece that is the most beloved out of all the others, mostly because of cultural reasons(like an iconic name, or was featured in some movie), luck, and also because it is accessible. So that happens all the time, nothing new with Vivaldi's case.
Why didn't Brahms write a non-Requiem Mass? so sad
>>123929171the german requiem is really not even a requiem mass either, it’s just settings of biblical text for chorus and orchestra.
>>123929171Brahms wasn't very religious.
>>123929184Even more sad! At least we got his brilliant orchestral chorus stuff and then the short ones like these:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ls3wrxTHcPE&list=OLAK5uy_l1rxq6f5yE8r9jpWIFfcuKbUb34vjTnsw&index=1>>123929201I just like choral music is all. I think Brahms could have written an all-time oratorio.
speaking of choral music, time to finally give this an in-depth listenstart of Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 2 in B-Flat Major, Op. 52 "Hymn of Praise"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u9nSDR_wzQ&list=OLAK5uy_nPrgHjY3hKjgXR28fsAx8YiN44UyZJ6Cw&index=1https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nPrgHjY3hKjgXR28fsAx8YiN44UyZJ6Cw
Mendelssohn has such a strange discography for a very famous composer. What's he most known for? Can't be his symphonies, they're good, but not among the best. His violin concerto? The string quartets? And if anyone knows, what was he most famous for in his own time? I remember reading his oratorios, Elijah and Paulus, were actually quite famous and acclaimed in his era.
>>123929221Have you listened to Brahms' Rinaldo?
>>123929341you already said his violin concerto and string quartets, those are exceedingly famous in their respective gentes
>>123929435I actually haven't! Funny you mention it though, because I saw it when I was listening to some stuff off of pic related the other day (great set, even if none of the recordings are my favorite for anything except for Triumphlied but only because no one else has really recorded that lol, but it's a great convenient set to get all of these works in one place, even if it's missing some of the shorter choral songs if I'm not mistaken, like the heavenly Op. 112b and Op. 103) but decided against it once I saw it's for tenor and male choir -- I much prefer female vocals, and if it must have male vocals then it's gotta have female too.But if you think it's worthwhile then I'll give it a listen.
>>123929341>What's he most known for?being jewish
>>123929341>What's he most known for?making Wagner butthurt

>Friedrich Nietzsche, who in his younger years was one of Wagner's staunchest allies, wrote that, for him, "Tristan and Isolde is the real opus metaphysicum of all art ... insatiable and sweet craving for the secrets of night and death ... it is overpowering in its simple grandeur". In a letter to his friend Erwin Rohde in October 1868, Nietzsche described his reaction to Tristan's prelude: "I simply cannot bring myself to remain critically aloof from this music; every nerve in me is atwitch, and it has been a long time since I had such a lasting sense of ecstasy as with this overture". Even after his break with Wagner, Nietzsche continued to consider Tristan a masterpiece: "Even now I am still in search of a work which exercises such a dangerous fascination, such a spine-tingling and blissful infinity as Tristan – I have sought in vain, in every art."

>>123933807https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysMjOGpSnVkhe's a big guy
>>123933585I think this piece essentially classical and pretty straightforward once you get over the initial "shock" of having sound events instead of individual notes. My guess is he was inspired by Beethoven's 14th quartet, which, by the way, has inspired almost every composer since Beethoven wrote it. It has the same style of beginning, that is, progressive entrances, is in one movement and explores a variety of textures. I don't mean that to sound reductionist but that's how I hear it. The voicing is always clear as far as the "counterpoint" goes (maybe "counterevent" is a better term), meaning, each voice is always distinct. It's never a mess, it's just complex. I think that a difficulty arises in some listeners because they (and I think this is based upon the survival instinct we have as beings to identify things in our environment which could pose a threat) have a tendency to try to hear individual notes and when these" events" take place it creates a certain stress because they are hard to clearly grasp and picture in the mind as they rush by. But once you get used to a sort of listening in a general sense, it doesn't seem as complex as it does at first. In fact, far from it. And if you do choose to look at the score and "slow it down" mentally so to speak, there are many internal layers. In short, it is music that acts upon our nervous system at least as much as it does upon our mind.

tonight on Mahler Radio, we continue on with Sinopoli's cycle by playing the 7th.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxAW54op-b8&list=OLAK5uy_lQ_sdjb_a-7_M2wdD3ki5vZayLfnNf5pI&index=1>With these words, AW's note wryly anticipates the character of Sinopoli's latest exercise in radical deconstruction. The conductor's Mahler is rarely uncontroversial, but this recording of No. 7 strikes me as an extreme example of interpretative de-bagging. Where in a performance like Solti's the work becomes a brassily optimistic concerto for orchestra—a simpler, sunnier view which finds endorsement in Michael Kennedy's commentary—Sinopoli takes us much further in the opposite direction. There are times when his tempos recall the lumbering trudge of late Klemperer (EMI, 9/69—nla), except that they rarely settle for long. As in his rather less problematic account of the Sixth (DG, 1/88), Sinopoli has the benefit of first-rate playing from the Philharmonia and ample yet detailed sonics from DG. What he does with them is more deeply unsettling, and intentionally so. (author name missing on the article?)A baritone Kindertotenlieder accompanies the symphony.

>>123935279I like Fournier.
>>123935296Yeah if I could only have recordings of repertoire cello works from one cellist, it'd be him for sure.
>>123933312He wrote a biography on Karajan and is a long time Gramophone writer.
>>123925391Some years ago I used to listen to a comfy radio station. Only classical music, with erudite commentary before or after a piece. Does something like that exists nowadays? No spotify or podcast, but old school radio (can be radio on streaming ofc).
Why do you guys love Mozart so much?https://youtu.be/16Rn-uhmcRU?si=qrTTlxefi7ZodjgF
>>123936917>Mozart makes you believe in God because it cannot be by chance that such a phenomenon arrives into this world and leaves such an unbounded number of unparalleled masterpieces. It represents neither the prolonged sigh of faith that characterizes so much of the music written before his time, nor the stormy idealism which cloaks most music after him. Rather he is that mercurial balance of the skeptic and the humane. Like him, and in him, we can always discover new worlds.I agree.
Bachhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8wAP_mZcTcWhat are some more arias like this that arent from the same cantata? I really like the organ obligato

>>123937941contrarians in this general tend to be people used to regular /mu/ discourse and think that the "popular bad obscure good" holds up when discussing classical, which is one of the few cases of the opposite being true, it leads to embarassing results

>>123938048Its about composers, not individual pieces, retard. If you cannot appreciate beethoven, you have no soul
>>123938037am I wrong? You believe that composers who have been studied and were foundational in the art are bad because of their popularity. you treat a composer like a >>>/mu/ tard treats a band.

Bach made music for degenerates.
Bach never managed to compose anything of even relative worth. Rather than exploring new styles he preferred to jack off alone to the outdated style of ages past, in a manner very similar to modern "wrong generationers."
>>123938459>>123938490
Bach is popular but all for wrong reasons. Lady Gaga is popular too but if you respect her you are as retarded as average normalfag

>>123938554>>123938563His most famous keyboard work, the Goldberg Variations, was originally written to put an aristocrat to sleep. And, bearing in mind that it consists of 30 variations on not only the same theme but also the same fucking harmonic sequence, it has the very same effect on modern audiences.The Well-Tempered Clavier is garbage and taught Mozart and Beethoven bad habits that forever stunted their expertise in composition.The Brandenburg Concertos, Violin Concertos, Orchestral Suites, Mass in B minor, Passions, and Musical Offering are plebeian trash written with mass appeal in mind.The Art of Fugue is utter dreck and the worst piece ever written. It's a load of worthless pedantic wankery which literally serves no purpose other than to demonstrate counterpoint. It's hilariously samey and repetitive, which makes sense since it inverts the same fucking melodies to create new counterpoints and does this over and over and over.
People who like Bach are simply closet autists who have no idea what good Western Art music is.
>>123938595I get it, you hate western art music. Go to >>>/mu/, you're lost.

>>123938603You need a soul to understand bach. Sadly you are brown and lack one.
Bach is the greatest composer who ever lived. Only a braindead retard who only listens to romantic slop would disagree
>>123938617Crap.
Romantic period "classical" is peak golem music
>>123938631His music is so lifeless like it was composed for math class or something. It sounds like an exercise that he had to write. there is no heart in it like Beethoven or Vivaldi who was a better baroque composer anyway.
>>123938651As the other anon said, you need a soul. You like vivaldi better becsuse he appeals to soulless romantic sloppers like you
Bach is the only composer actually worth listening to. All others are secondary and not neccesary. He solved music.
>>123938595Based and trueBACH SUCKS>>123938659>muh soulKeep repeating that, tranny

>>123938659Why? Seriously, just listen to the Art of Fugue? Like, who does he think he is just abandoning randomly harmonic conventions like he is better than every one else. Look at Contrapunctus 3 where his countersubject bears no interval or tonal resemblance to his subject. He is boring and dumb, the worst combo.

Handel >>>>>> Bach
I see a lot of degenerate philistines saying that Bach is “greatest composer to have ever lived” and I can’t believe my eyes when I see such a statement so today I will explain why Bach is the worst composer to have ever lived.He’s just counterpoint, there’s no polyphony, no melody, no harmony, nothing. Just counterpoint. Listen to his invention no.8 in f major for reference, where’s the melody? Exactly, there is no melody. Surely someone who is the “greatest composer” would know more then just writing pretty canons and fugues!He didn’t write an opera. At first this doesn’t seem like a big deal but to be one of the greats (i.e Brahms Chopin, Liszt) you have to write everything including a opera. Bach never wrote an opera. The closest he wrote was a bunch of boring cantatas that have no purpose whatsoever.He had no sense of dynamics and other markings. I recently opened up my 50 dollar Henle urtext from the Juilliard store that had Bach’s well tempered clavier and I saw no dynamics, no crescendo, no tempo, nothing. It was just the notes, to be a great musician you have to understand dynamics and phrasing not just knowing how to write notes on a manuscript paper. I then opened up my 100 dollar Henle urtext also from the Juilliard store Beethoven sonatas and I saw so much expression details which there is none in Bach.I already see you philistines typing trying to say something to dispute my knowledge and facts and I would be more then happy to answer your questions.“No one is more hated than He who speaks the truth" - Plato
>>123938939Post your compositions.
>>123938968You're not fooling anyone, filthy aggressive pedo.
>>123938982I have all my compositions published. I won't be doxing myself nor bothering with some filthy aggressive pedo replying to me twice
"Stick to monophonic music" -Plato
>>123938985Ok brown tranny
Bach fans are insufferable. They can't comprehend that not everyone likes Bach's terrible music. Most people have not even heard of him.
>>123939011Space your posts evenly so it doesn't look like you're samefagging, filthy aggressive pedo
>>123939005>its so shit he doesnt dare post it
>>123939019True.>>123939022Cope.
My favourite classical piece is either Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra or Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit
Handel >>>>>> Bachhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa4_V3yYIUsfkgzv7wLoLRZ_pu9eZjXgW
Daily reminder that Bach being considered good is a modern phenomenon. In his time he was considered inferior to Vivaldi, Handel and every other relevant composer.

"[Handel] is the only person I would wish to see before I die, and the only person I would wish to be, were I not Bach." - J. S. BachAnd when Mozart heard this:"Truly, I would say the same myself if I were permitted to put in a word""Handel understands effect better than any of us -- when he chooses, he strikes like a thunderbolt... though he often saunters, in the manner of his time, this is always something there." - MozartUpon hearing the 'Hallelujah Chorus' from Messiah, Joseph Haydn is said to have "wept like a child" and exclaimed: "He is the master of us all.""Handel is the greatest composer that ever lived... I would uncover my head and kneel down on his tomb." - BeethovenBeethoven, when asked to name the greatest composer ever, he is said to have responded: "Handel, to him I bow the knee."In 1819, Beethoven told Archduke Rudolph: "not to forget Handel's works, as they always offer the best nourishment for your ripe musical mind, and will at the same time lead to admiration for this great man.""Händel is the greatest and ablest of all composers; from him I can still learn." - Beethoven on his deathbed
Handel is gutteral nonsense, truly the worst composer

>>123939254It’s pretty damn good. The Prisoner Of Azkaban has traditionally been my favourite though
I tried listening to handel but it sounded like music written to be fucked in the butt to. When he used the oboes to to recreate his moans is when i had to turn it off and play some Bach.
>>123939328>it sounded like music written to be fucked in the butt toTry and see if it works.
>>123939344I shall not. Doesnt sound very enjoyable.
>>123939328Really? Are they playing Handel in the gay clubs these days?
>>123939418Yes, have to hear his organ concertos every friday night which only barely covers the moans
>>123939432Sisterjanny is not gonna like this, will he start labelling anyone who posts DG a tranime sister?
>>123939179Imagine limiting yourself to few tourist composers who you think of as "underrated" lmfao. Truly shameful, if you had any sense or taste you'd never think like this. Hopefully it's just a bait, in which case I half-approve since some bachfags ITT are the most insufferable and deserve mockingBack to plebbit with you.
