Atheists produced objectively the best music.
>>124111798Only if you discredit about 90% of the canon
>>124111788i finished gathering the rest of klemperers box set yesterday. the horn concertos were among the few i had left to grab. remember how the web releases had lame cover arts? that was not the case for the cd release.
>>124111798Who's your favorite composer, anon?
Is this general just going to turn into arguments about religion?Post music, fags.>>124111809That looks pretty cool, never got why classical recordings tend to like to change their cover art to something 10 times lamer and less interesting than the original design
at what point is a composition made canonical? when the piece is formed in the mind of the composer? upon it's first performance? when it is notated on paper for the first time? if the composer alters it after a year, does he/she/they have the right to do so and claim it to be authentic? how about a day? a second? who is the real composer? upon what authority can you make this judgement?
>>124111864the releases before the box was uploaded had contained track listing that wasn't suitable for original cover arts. so pic related and similar to it was what warner decided on. the horn concerto cover art is overtly masonic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSc5-Gn1cjwLove this instrumentation, did any other composer play around with it besides (sorta) beethoven?
>>124111895>at what point is a composition made canonical?When it is published or discovered posthumously.> if the composer alters it after a year, does he/she/they have the right to do so and claim it to be authentic?Yes, but it becomes a separate version and is published as such.Liszt for instance had many revised compositions (Paganini etudes).
Mozart's chromaticism, like that of Mendelssohn, went far beyond what was ever produced by the most "daring" experiments of later romantic composers ; for chromaticism is always more potent in a tonal context, and works composed in harmonies whose modulations are so constant that the fundamental tonality is essentially blurred, do not trend to produce any effect, even when grasping at the very last possibilities of enharmonic, fundamental-less dominant ninth, augmented sixth or napolitan sixth modulations ; for modulation and complex harmony only signifies as opposition to a tonal context, and not in itself. This, was the great mistake of all music romantic ; to think that music could construct meaning through what was fundamentally opposed to tonality ; to think that music could be built upon the negative definition of music. Wagner's music has no rhythm, its harmony is so stretched out that it is barely audible, it has no counterpoint, no melody ; its qualities are fundamentally negative, --- Wagner is, thus, the perfect example of this degeneracy of music, which is fundamentally a critique of music ; and all critique stems from a lower position, a will to slander that which we cannot attain.
>>124112010Based but Wagner is a bad example. Sch*n(((berg))) and M*hler embody this way more
>On top of that, he drank gallons of coffee, often doing so without food. There are stories of him going to donut shops in the middle of the night and just ordering coffee.
>>124112083Schoenberg's music isn't romantic (only in his early period), his music is rhythmically florid and metrically punctilious, he wrote THE book on harmony, and he looked up to Mozart specifically as a master of form and rhythm.And yet is still sounds like ass, whereas Wagner (and Mahler) sound astonishing.
>>124112190>And yet is still sounds like assonly to weak, regressive ears who cannot fathom the breadth of techniques music offers to us.
just deleted gould/s goldberg variations for obvious reasons
>>124112223Sounding like shit on purpose is still sounding shit
>>124111809My cd looks like pic rel. The performances are a bit stodgy.

Disliking Schoenberg is a sign of low musical intelligence.There's a reason why every major (good) composer for the past hundred years has absolutely adored Schoenberg and been deeply inspired by his work. And that reason is because the music that Schoenberg created was simply brilliant.If you don't Iove the dodecaphonic style compared to other syles thats one thing. But you have to respect the ingenious of Schoenberg’s work.Disliking Schoenberg is like disliking Shakespeare or Isaac Newton. It comes off as ignorant.
>>124113132I just think Berg did what Schoenberg wanted to do, but in a more musically accomplished way (and Schoenberg himself seemed to suspect so and was envious of Berg's greater success).It's not that his compositional method was bad, it's just he himself wasn't very good at it.
>>124111597Like what?>>124111809Rare image of a Mozart fan attempting to educate a non-fan.
Disliking Rachmaninoff is a sign of low intelligence and high pretentioussness.There's a reason why every major (good) composer or critic and for the past hundred years has absolutely adored Rachmaninoff and been deeply emotionally affected by his work. And that reason is because the music that Rachmaninoff created was simply brilliant.If you don't love the deeply romantic style compared to other styles thats one thing. But you have to respect the ingenious of Rachmaninoff's work.Disliking Rachmaninoff is like disliking Dostoevsky or Carl Friedrich Gauss. It comes off as pretentious and emotionally restrained.
speaking of Schoenberg, now playingSchoenberg: Verklarte Nacht (Transfigured Night) , Op. 4 (version for string orchestra)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV88iLGkQ7U&list=OLAK5uy_mF4Ghbg_TtBsfEMxUXFSeyFz_myg2YN3Q&index=2start of Schmidt: Symphony No. 2 in E-Flat Majorhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJQ5Z6IymeE&list=OLAK5uy_mF4Ghbg_TtBsfEMxUXFSeyFz_myg2YN3Q&index=2https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mF4Ghbg_TtBsfEMxUXFSeyFz_myg2YN3Q

>>124114207>using the word 'pretentious' unironically>liking Dostoevsky>Non-Russian readers do not realize two things: that not all Russians love Dostoevsky as much as Americans do, and that most of those Russians who do, venerate him as a mystic and not as an artist. He was a prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. I admit that some of his scenes, some of his tremendous, farcical rows are extraordinarily amusing. But his sensitive murderers and soulful prostitutes are not to be endured for one moment—by this reader anyway.–from Nabokov’s 1964 interview in Playboy, as reprinted in Strong Opinions>I dislike intensely The Brothers Karamazov and the ghastly Crime and Punishment rigmarole. No, I do not object to soul-searching and self-revelation, but in those books the soul, and the sins, and the sentimentality, and the journalese, hardly warrant the tedious and muddled search.–from a 1969 interview with James Mossman, as reprinted in Strong OpinionsThat said I do like a lot of Rachmaninoff (most of his solo piano music is highly underwhelming), but I get why someone wouldn't.
>>124114317The good ones have.
>>124114225This is one of the very best Verklarte Nacht, Op. 4, I've ever heard. If you don't mind mono (for sound, not the illness), then check this out! I'm sure the Schmidt will be just as stellar.
>>124114225i dislike the string orchestra version of verklarte nacht, but i dislike all string orchestra arrangements of chamber music>>124114246very, very good, and far better than his successor at new york bernstein.
Holy shit! Mozart's Rondo in A minor KV. 511 is somethin' else!
>>124114436>i dislike the string orchestra version of verklarte nacht, but i dislike all string orchestra arrangements of chamber musicI used to feel the same way but I find at the moment, for some reason my ears aren't meshing well with the thin, severe sound of a lot of chamber music. I'm sure it'll come back around, but at present I'm enjoying anything which produces a fuller, lusher sound, which arrangements for string orchestra and the like accomplish. Plus I just think it works well with this piece, or maybe Mitropoulos' gorgeous, impassioned approach is doing most of the heavy lifting lol, been forever since I last heard it.
>>124111798Shostokavich?
>>124114436>>124114482And thanks, good to know. I've had his acclaimed Mahler 8 with Vienna(?) in my backlog for quite a while, maybe I'll finally give it a listen today. Any other essential or worthwhile recordings from him off the top of your head?
>>124114495basically all his stereo recordings (and there aren't very many) on columbia/sony are worth listening to.
>>124114516Neat, thanks, added a few things.

Favorite recording(s) of Shostakovich's 4th Symphony?
>>124114740the shortest ones preferably
>>124114752Ah, a man who prefers the 4th with quick tempo, good thinking.
Evidently, Mitropolous made a shedload of commercial recordings, but hardly any of these have been reissued individually on cd. That's a shame because I can't afford to buy pic rel at 200 bucks.
Wonder what this TV show is about...
>>124114668Yes the bad prefered modernism and didn't like Rach
>>124114808Gotta wonder if Minneapolis is any good compared to the big orchestras like Chicago, Boston and NY though ...
>>124114761i prefer the tempo to be so quick that you might not even realize the piece ever began.

>>124114877I'm more struck by the exclusion of Erich Kleiber.Kubelik was good but not great.
>>124114543Just a warning on Mitropoulos, his live recordings can be pretty variable. I agree with the other anon that his NY stereo recordings find him at his most balanced. He could be tremendously inspired but a lot of his Mahler for example suffers from less than stellar playing.

>>124114927lol Mendelssohn 3 "Scotch"
>>124114988Man, that article is full of interesting gems. Dreaming of dying due to falling off of a mountain, followed by his actual death with a heart attack during a rehearsal of Mahler 3; his lifelong celibacy, illustrated by the writer of the article as "music supplanted sex in his life;" "(One critic wrote he looked like “a Greek bartender vigorously shaking cocktails.”);" the Bernstein tidbit; and I've only read through part of it! Definitely gonna finish reading the whole thing, thank you for sharing, compelling and fascinating stuff, and that's coming from someone who usually only reads these kinds of things for writers and poets, as far as artists go.

Same with his sextets -- open to any recording recommendations of them!
>>124115261Have you tried pic rel?For the quintets I like Brandis.
>>124115286I have not, thank you, will give a listen. For the quintets I'm hoping the ones on this recording will be the ones I've been searching for this whole time, but if not I'll check out Brandis' as well.

>>124115344Late Beethoven is the very beginning of Romanticism. Don't let the hyperautists here tell you otherwise.
>>124112010Mendelssohn went through his commercially successful period when Wagner was mostly unheard of. The favourite composer of every middle class household, fulfilling the complacent conservative image of a 'traditional composer' like Beethoven. Well Wagner demolished that image.

>>124116060>it just so happens that balancing leaps with contrary stepwise motion is a rule in basically every tonal counterpoint textbook for good melodic writing.The textbook rules are again, not absolute, and should only be used as guidelines.

>>124116106see >>124116019>>124116113i think in this case it's considered devolution, given the "voice leading" here annihilates any semblance of line in the first place, nevermind independence of line (ie. the goal of counterpoint).

>>124116156I don't consider him a loser at all. I praise Shostakovich as one of the greatest of his time, as many(a considerable portion) people, critics and musicologists and musicians do. So again, what is YOUR end goal? I answered your question, now please answer mine.

>>124116415and shostakovich's problem seems to be that he spent all his time being an incompetent and inept composer who was cucked into writing bad symphonies and worse chamber music.
>>124116356This is absolutely the answer LOL
>>124116432Shostakovich doesn't seem to be relevant here at all, schizophrenic.

This shotakonbitch showed up at my place to play her latest fugue for me but it was full of unprepared dissonances. I didn't want to offend her so I just said "Um it's very nice auntie" and she patted my head so I was briefly gratified. However I feel that I have transgressed against the Spirit of Music and the ghost of Richard Wagner has appeared to me in dreams telling me to kill myself. What do?

Biber Battalia Á 10https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pYPa1014RA&ab_channel=NorwegianChamberOrchestraThough Biber's reason of the Battilia is uncertain, some scholars say it was the composer's feelings toward the Thirty Years' War, due to the high casualties (~50% of the German population and 1/3 of the Czechs).Die liederliche Gesellschaft von allerley Humor (The Profligate Society of Common Humor)The most famous, the second movement incorporates 8 melodies, but in different key and time signatures. One of the melodies is the folk song, "Cabbage and turnips have driven me away" (Kraut und Rüben haben mich vertrieben), similarly used in J. S. Bach's 30th Goldberg Variation, or the Quodlibet. Also some measures are in 12/8 time and the others in 4/4 time. There is a Latin footnote that reads hic dissonant ubique, nam enim sic diversis cantilenis clamore solent or "here it is dissonant everywhere, for thus are the drunks accustomed to bellow with different songs"

You try to find what foods were served during the concert if any or if anyone has a ticket to the concert in a personal collection post that. The point is to create the complete picture about what that piece of music meant for the music world et. al. and how it would have fit into the overall oeuvre would it have been considered, hated, controversial, beloved, patriotic, subversive etc etcThe point is to time travel and try to understand what the discussion about a work would be like what it would be like to live in this time and experience the piece for the first showings and the vibes going on.

I think of Bartok as kind of like the Autechre of late Romantic music. He doesn't quite fit the serialism of Schoenberg, Stockhausen, and Boulez, etc.But he doesn't at all fit with Debussy, Mahler.And furthermore, I wouldn't even say he fits with Stravinsky, who was ultimately sort of like the master genius of the time period who synthesized everything into a perfectly working whole - but whose music does sometimes seem more like a precursor to minimalism. A series of vignettes more than a formal piece - as many here are deriding.Bartok was a continuation of the lineage from Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. As others have said, he was formal. His music is certainly not tonal in the sense of Mozart or even Debussy. But it isn't quite atonal, is it?My problem with Bartok is that I find his harmonic aesthetic really kind of unappealing.The only times I've really, really enjoyed Bartok - as much of the work of Autechre - was while blazed out of my mind listening to his quartets. It was during those times I saw the details and patterns of his music. Unlike other atonal formalists, like Xenakis, who use form as their main mode of expression - Bartok's music is not like a machine. It is very much classical and structural, and I think standard forms of analysis which are generally applied to classical and romatic era music would work on it.That said, I don't particularly enjoy listening to it. But to say it is not good art is patently wrong as far as I'm concerned.Though to be honest I do find some of his works rather bizarrely overrated by some people. I can't get into the orchestral/celesta stuff whatsoever. The string quartets are far more interesting for me. Maybe I've been listening to bad recordings.Also, I think Bartok wrote a book about his tonal system if you want to read it, it might shed some light if you're interested. I think if anything he's underrated.
>>124119603You're onto something. Though I think a better comparison is Bartok is Kafka,
>>124115286Almost immediately the best rendition of the sextets I've ever heard, thank you.
>>124119040sounds like what a coping pedophile apologist would say>>124119603he’s not a romantic, it’s that simple.
>>124119603>>Though to be honest I do find some of his works rather bizarrely overrated by some people. I can't get into the orchestral/celesta stuff whatsoever. The string quartets are far more interesting for me. Maybe I've been listening to bad recordings.Agreed on the first part, but swap the works around. Can't get into any of his chamber stuff.
>>124118740Reminds me of this awful Netherlands Bach Society performance where they pretended to drink and smoke whilst listening to Bachhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qekqd0elm6c&ab_channel=NetherlandsBachSociety
>>124119603The essence of Romantic harmony is root motion by thirds or tritones and the use of scales generated by such progressions in accordance with the standard rules pertaining to tonal voice leading. Bartok cannot be considered a romantic composer because Romantic harmony is not a necessary element of his style.romantic: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/Wagner_from_Parsifal_Act_1.wavnot romantic:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mshRH3q-B3o
>>124119603Xenakis uses timbre as his main mode of expression
>>124119603>Also, I think Bartok wrote a book about his tonal systemIt's called the Axis Theory or Axis System, and there's some evidence John Coltraine had come across it before composing his famous Giant Steps progression, whose harmonic logic it coincides with. Although that progression also comes up in Ravel's Ondine, so maybe it doesn't mean much.To change the subject, I wonder if Ligeti can be considered a successor of Bartok's?
>>124120102any system outside of set theory, functions theory, and strict counterpoint is not worth the paper it's written on.

Again most likely this was the sisterposter themself masquerading as the PL in a false flag operation who got banned-hence their confidence that the PL was banned. Hence The SP accuses the PL of ban evading since that is what they themselves are doingHowever we can also see that the PL ending in z7M which is not in fact banned and is in this very thread was multiple times calling out the imposter for masquerading as them.https://desuarchive.org/mu/thread/122901034/#q122918033

Forgive me if this is off-topic, but good films or works of literature (novels or poetry) that center around or have classical music as one of its major themes or at least an important facet? Something like Kafka on the Shore with the Archduke Trio and Schubert.

All of the best and most popular orchestra music is here (the second of the "Images" is the well-known tone poem "Iberia"). Salonen must have the keenest ear in the business--no "impressionist" fuzz here. Musical textures are extraordinarily clear, but never at the expense of the music's natural sensuality. The Los Angeles Philharmonic has been playing at the very highest technical level ever since Esa-Pekka Salonen took over, and Sony has been documenting their work in top-quality sound. There are a lot of Debussy recordings, many of them very good, but it's hard to beat the all-around excellence of this one. --David HurwitzAnd some interesting quotes from the conductor at the start of the top review:>In the 1997 DVD "In Rehearsal with The Los Angeles Philharmonic", Esa-Pekka Salonen states; "I think that Debussy is the most important composer of the century." He later says that the future of music has more to do with Debussy, Ravel and Stravinsky than any other composers. And finally, Salonen regards La Mer as "one of The greatest masterpeieces of all time."

>>124125577>1st paragraph mcdonald: This took place in early spring. It was the second uninterrupted day of our journey. Every so often passengers who were only going short distances would enter the railway carriage and leave it again, but there were three people who, like myself, had boarded the train at its point of origin and were still travelling: a plain, elderly lady with an exhausted-looking face, who was smoking cigarettes and was dressed in a hat and coat that might almost have been those of a man; her companion, a talkative man of about forty, with trim, new luggage; and another man who was rather small of stature and whose movements were nervous and jerky – he was not yet old, but his curly hair had obviously turned grey prematurely, and his eyes had a peculiar light in them as they flickered from one object to another. He was dressed in an old coat that looked as though it might have been made by an expensive tailor; it had a lambskin collar, and he wore a tall cap of the same material. Whenever he unfastened his coat, a long-waisted jacket and a Russian embroidered shirt came into view. Another peculiar thing about this man was that every now and again he uttered strange sounds, as if he were clearing his throat or beginning to laugh, but breaking off in silence.>2nd paragraph mcdonald: Throughout the entire duration of the journey this man studiously avoided talking to any of the other passengers or becoming acquainted with them.
