I am done. Done with it all. Done with this existence. I reject what it has to offer. I reject what any of you filthy monkeys, carbon filth, less important than dirt... no, even dirt has more importance than a human, the word "filthy" is itself degraded when attached to such a despicable entity as a human. Even the foulest and irritating bug, a maggot, so to speak, has more worth than a man. Tell me the ways to erode myself. Teach me the method to eviscerate my flesh. Drop my corpse in a sewer so no human can ever touch it again.

I will leave this circus. I will disappear into the realm of waves, where there exist such music... I know there exists a musical chord... a wave that has eluded me for years... I will force that theophany to reveal itself in front of me, to take me and consume me and I... consequently will consume everything.

Just take a good look at this filth that is being uttered here. One can only imagine how harsh and solitary life must have been for an artist like Scriabin during his time. Not only was he the Prometheus who brought humanity such groundbreaking and revolutionary music, but he was also a natural force of transcendence. His work evokes deep emotional transformation and spiritual introspection; it inspires you to seek higher understanding, immerse yourself in creative expression, support the arts, and live with honesty and a sense of cosmic harmony. This positive "vibe," imbued in you through Scriabin's rich and mystical music, truly demonstrates how great the Russian was.

Does that guy that posted Stephan Möller's Fortepiano recording of the Hammerklavier sonata have any more fortepiano recordings from him? Doesn't have to be specifically beethoven. I have trouble finding any recordings whatsoever from him.

>>124419244
I really enjoy his Mozart sonata cycle. I think it could easily be considered one of the best in terms of the interpretive decisions. Mozart's fortepiano is a tad harsh sounding, though. I think Staier's choice of fortepiano is still my favorite for that era.
>>124420946
No, sorry. I don't know of any other recordings that he did on a fortepiano.

Wagner appeals only to longhoused freaks and repressoids. The well-turned out and aristocratic man is naturally repulsed by him as he is by other items of academic bourgeois kitsch. He is the musical equivalent of a stag painting. I'm sure he goes nicely with your fat wife's fish jelly but he cannot speak to the soul of a Caesar.

Try listening to some other composers, seriously. There are so many good ones out there that got ripped off because they actually take some thinking from the program directors. The Ameican Neo-Classicists from the early-mid 20th century in particular. Try Moby Dick from Mennin for starters.

You can't enjoy Wagner properly without reading Schopenhauer's essays about the Will. Maybe read the middle pages of Zarathustra as well. Then and only then can you begin your odyssey through Wagnerian sound. Starting obviously with Tristan and Isolde.

start of Langgaard: Symphony No. 4, BVN 124, "Løvfald"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TInlHV76P8E&list=OLAK5uy_lPfesmi4zq6SLHFRoeZ9Nzoz0Dz6GqD7o&index=1

>Langgaard (1893-1952) is slowly emerging as one of the major symphonists of this century; he is certainly one of the major composers of Denmark, right in line behind Nielsen. His Symphony 4 (1916), Fall of the Leaf, is a beautiful study of the forces of nature. Symphony 5 (1917-18), Nature of the Steppe, is more characteristically Nordic than anything particularly Mongol or Russian. The Symphony 6 (1949), Heavens Asunder, is about a cosmic battle between the forces of good and evil. These are major works, tonal and Romantic at their core. Excellent performances, excellent sound. --Paul Cook

>>124424526
As much as I like Nietzsche he was pretty afflicted by a need to not be "German," favoring a kind of pan-European identity. Of course then he would reject Wagner's pro-Germanism.
>>
>>124424728
In 1877, when Wagner and Nietzsche’s friendship was apparently in its pomp, but Nietzsche’s health was moving through an especially rocky patch, Wagner (a bullish individual, to put it mildly) instigated a correspondence with Nietzsche’s then-doctor, evincing a great deal of concern for his younger friend, but an arresting want of tact:

>“In assessing Nietzsche’s condition I have long been reminded of identical or very similar experiences with young men of great intellectual ability. Seeing them laid low by similar symptoms, I discovered all too certainly that these were the effects of masturbation [by hiding under their bed, perhaps]. Ever since I observed Nietzsche closely, guided by such experiences, all his traits of temperament and characteristic habits have transformed my fear into a conviction.”

Yes, what Herr Dr. Wagner wants to focus on is the possibility that Nietzsche was, in Wagner’s words, “a confirmed masturbator.”
>>
>>124424728
still an illiterate indian loser LOL
>>124424738

>>124424750

>What's your most preferred for The Nutcracker and Swan Lake? I haven't listened to many.

start of Beethoven: 11 Bagatelles, Op. 119
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL_o0K4Quc0&list=OLAK5uy_lMpq0ijdPAjX2X9Wb5PkYdcOizqt7WnUE&index=8

>When we think of Beethoven and the piano, his monumental thirty-two sonatas come to mind. They have often been referred to as the 'New Testament' to Bach's 'Old Testament,' the Well-Tempered Clavier. However, over a period of decades, Beethoven constantly returned to the genre of the bagatelle. He called them 'trifles,' but this small form par excellence actually meant a great deal to him. As with the sonata, Beethoven laid the foundations for a flourishing new genre of piano miniatures. Whether they last a few minutes or a few seconds, these Bagatelles are masterpieces, rendered with in all their brief perfection by the infallible Paul Lewis.

>David’s interest in the revival of the art of classical improvisation has been an important part of his international career as a concert pianist. In his solo and chamber music performances worldwide, David incorporates extemporisation into the repeats, eingangs and cadenzas of relevant concert repertoire, as well as improvising preludes, interludes, fantasias and variations on themes provided by the audience.

>Yehudi Menuhin’s response to David Dolan’s CD When Interpretation and Improvisation Get Together was: “David Dolan is giving new life to classical music.”

Walton: Symphony No. 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwXuVWoS5Iw&list=OLAK5uy_mEHlUvjcYeE0MLrZJiu5gGtSml6JfJLFE&index=1

>Walton's First Symphony burst onto the scene in 1935 and was quickly recognized as a masterpiece. A remarkable achievement for a composer of 33 years, his second symphony was mature and refined, showcasing a composer at the top of his game. It was unjustly overshadowed by its older sibling and appeared dated when compared to the avant garde styles popular in the late 50's and early 60's. Today, it is recognized as a masterpiece to rank alongside the first. These high voltage performances from Kirill Karabits and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra confirm the enduring legacy of both works.

The fourth movement is mistakenly labeled as part of some Symphony no. 4 when it's really just the fourth movement to this one, the first.

Oh you were the one you posted it the other day? I saw your post and when looking for a different set to try, saw it and figured I'd give it a listen.

Again though, if you're not feeling it, then also try putting it down for a little while and listen to other stuff before giving it another try.

let's unpack that xer. sister claims that you have heard tons of compositions (if they can be called that dot dot dot) from shostakovich multiple times. tons could mean a large number of his music, but large could also be relative to someone's experience. for example, sister may charge more than two or even one as large. the word multiple is much more easier to understand. it means more than once. are you sure you're not pretending, so as to save face, to not have listened to more than two compositions from shostakovich more than once?

>Gould was a very stern and hard man to impress. He often showed symptoms of misanthropy and denial of the social life. "Bach" was the only force that could draw Gould out of Gould as in a real friendship with the great composer. One day I found he was playing something other than Bach. It was strange. It was "Wagner"... I couldn't believe it. This was not your ordinary Gould. The door was unlocked and when I stepped in I saw a completely different Gould.... he was completely stark naked and masturbating as he played Die Meistersinger.

There are some problems, like say if I wanted to look at all of the Brahms recordings I had in my library, it's terrible for that (in which case I'd have to search for it again normally, unless I added or listened to it recently), but otherwise I think it's great, it's how I listen to almost all of my classical music and other music when I'm out and about and listening to music on my phone.

The unpaid version isn't too bad for at-home use but it's in 128kps and there's noticeable pauses between tracks while it loads the next one. IIRC, if you wanna try it out, the first time you download and use the app on your phone, I think like the fifth time you open it or so, they'll offer you a two-week free trial, and then there's a one-time month free trial offer that's always available.

Definitely worth the $15 or so a month I spend on it, especially because I used to have an extensive offline music collection before it got destroyed, and I can't be bothered to ever rebuild it again outside of downloading recordings I can't find elsewhere.

The way he took a folk tune and gave it back to the people, transfigured–it was like the condescension of a god, like the unknown maiden appearing to the shepherd.

shows 130 albums with the track! Maybe tagging it as "Dmitri Shostakovich; Dover Quartet"? That's how I personally label my stuff, with composer and primary performer (so conductor or string ensemble), but I don't know how that plays out for scrobbling.

start of Shostakovich: Symphony No. 10 in E Minor, Op. 93
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep4dfT3RHeE&list=OLAK5uy_lgQ55qDged7sC7eqQede4OAoR0TxOxuzA&index=1

>Shostakovich's 10th Symphony subsumes the composer's confrontation with Stalin and the Stalin years, even if experts disagree on how it should be interpreted. Even after 1945, despite of the war that had been won, life in the Soviet Union became no easier. Dmitri Shostakovich also suffered from the repression during Stalin's reign of terror. He had been accused of formalism since 1936, and had had to withdraw his Fourth Symphony as a result. He has also failed to produce the triumphant music expected of him following the victory over Nazi Germany: his grotesque Ninth Symphony was far removed from this and also contained hidden but sharply critical references to Stalin. After suffering humiliation in the course of the "anti-Formalist" purges of 1948, during which he was relieved of his teaching posts, Shostakovich withdrew from public life. Immediately after Stalin's death on March 5, 1953, he was able to bring forth a significant number of serious works that he had shelved and that were all awaiting either premieres or rehabilitation. His Tenth Symphony- composed between July and October 1953- was premiered on December 17, 1953 by the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra. Mariss Jansons considers Dmitri Shostakovich to be one of the most serious and sincere composers ever, and finds the fifteen symphonies in particular to be deeply moving and captivating. He sees their music as bearing shattering testimony to a traumatic era of political darkness, while remaining a timeless expression of existential human feeling and experience.

>talk about Shostakovich's music without rambling about his biography and Stalinism challenge (impossible!)

anyone who has ever made bread would know that not all bread is made the same. for example, a breads dough could have been mishandled or it hadn't enough time to let rise. perhaps its yeast or sourdough took a turn for the worse. these are but some of the conditions that bread has to face before being compared to bach. in other words comma the qualities that make bread what it is greatly depend on the prep work involved. bread is not something you rush. it takes time, patience and a little courage comma things that you and my mother could only dream of obtaining. specifically, the ability to be patient, to be courageous, to know when and how long to observe, and finally, to know never to separate the way things are made, when comparing the characteristics of things, from their final form.
