I don't think either one was particularity known for intellectual ideas. Are there any composers who seemed to have actual philosophical interest and showed in it their thoughts? Medtner seems to be a very clear and blatant Platonist (wrapped in Christian belief), obviously Fagner liked Nietzche, although based on the wagnertranny's quotes Wagner also made it abundantly obvious he is incapable of speaking in a coherent manner.

I think the opposite. When you listen to genres like shital for too long, drums become a necessity in music (even if you pretend to dislike it), and since piano is a percussive instrument, it serves as a replacement of drums. Africanized minds like piano and chamber music, sophisitcated souls worship symphonists.

>I HEARD, once again for the first time, Richard Wagner's overture to the Mastersinger: it is a piece of magnificent, gorgeous, heavy, latter-day art, which has the pride to presuppose two centuries of music as still living, in order that it may be understood:—it is an honour to Germans that such a pride did not miscalculate! What flavours and forces, what seasons and climes do we not find mingled in it! It impresses us at one time as ancient, at another time as foreign, bitter, and too modern, it is as arbitrary as it is pompously traditional, it is not infrequently roguish, still oftener rough and coarse—it has fire and courage, and at the same time the loose, dun-coloured skin of fruits which ripen too late. It flows broad and full: and suddenly there is a moment of inexplicable hesitation, like a gap that opens between cause and effect, an oppression that makes us dream, almost a nightmare; but already it broadens and widens anew, the old stream of delight—the most manifold delight,—of old and new happiness; including ESPECIALLY the joy of the artist in himself, which he refuses to conceal, his astonished, happy cognizance of his mastery of the expedients here employed, the new, newly acquired, imperfectly tested expedients of art which he apparently betrays to us.

>Schopenhauer, as it turns out, had no use—and no ear—for Wagner’s chromatic harmonies. Wagner sent him a beautifully bound copy of the Ring with the inscription, “from respect and gratitude.” The grouchy philosopher was not impressed. He instructed the Swiss journalist, Franz Wille, to convey a message to his friend Wagner: “but tell him that he should stop writing music. His genius is greater as a poet. I, Schopenhauer, remain faithful to Rossini and Mozart.”[3] The response was rude but not surprising, since Schopenhauer, who played the flute (not, like Nietzsche, the piano), was a lover of diatonic catchy tunes.

Nietzsche is the last philosopher; all post-nietzschean philosophy is philology or something not metaphysical. When Nietzsche kills God, he ends all metaphysics and thus philosophy in its older definition. What's left is the search for the Being and existentialism. Both are reactions to the destruction of metanarratives implied by Nietzsche's death of God and Zarathustra. The death of God (see Heidegger's Holzwege) is the end of metaphysics; Zarathustra is the end of philosophy; Zarathustra is not a philosopher nor does he practice philosophy; Zarathustra has gotten past philosophy. Thus, as mentioned hitherto, these two currents (existentialism and the search for the Being) are reactions to the destruction of metanarratives of philosophy.

Existentialists react by saying they're thrown into the world and start crying around like pansies, before 'revolting' and thus finding an excuse to live.

German phenomenologists react by getting their shit together, deconstructing metaphysics to reach the Being and chill out with Hitler.

A bunch of naked feminists on the streets shouting "feel the nipple" or a furry rally passing through the streets of moscow or a bunch of angry bigotted chuds fighting meaningless battles online? How will we introduce them to our culture?

We will show the aliens true "Human Excellence". Our mastery of art and music. We will show them "Wagner".

You have merely rearranged the "meme" to reach the same result.

For you say it "never had anything to do with timbre, orchestras, drums, or loud brassy noises", and was actually "about the tastes and inhibitions of the nineteenth century bourgeois".

Yet obvious to all, is that "timbre, orchestras, drums, or loud brassy noises" was the worst of the gradutious ways they reached for and satified the "tastes and inhibitions of the nineteenth century bourgeois".

In reality you are just an angry fellow intent not on putting forth any coherent criticism, but rather just to find any avenue of attack, even if it means to simply be saying not much of anything should one simply just think about your words for longer than a few seconds. Evidently this has most sprung up because of your deep love and respect for the B.M.W trio, as you become the most clearly agitated and prone to outbursts when they are insulted.

I'm sorry, but I simply shall not be respecting the firetrucker trio today, nor tomorrow!

If, on the other hand, we estimate the worth of the Beautiful Arts by the culture they supply to the mind, and take as a standard the expansion of the faculties which must concur in the Judgement for cognition, Music will have the lowest place among them (as it has perhaps the highest among those arts which are valued for their pleasantness), because it merely plays with sensations. The formative arts are far before it in this point of view; for in putting the Imagination in a free play, which is also accordant with the Understanding, they at the same time carry on a serious business. This they do by producing a product that serves for concepts as a permanent self-commendatory vehicle for promoting their union with sensibility and thus, as it were, the urbanity of the higher cognitive powers. These two species of art take quite different courses; the first proceeds from sensations to indeterminate Ideas, the second from determinate Ideas to sensations. The latter produce permanent, the former only transitory impressions. The Imagination can recall the one and entertain itself pleasantly therewith; but the other either vanish entirely, or if they are recalled involuntarily by the Imagination they are rather wearisome than pleasant. Besides, there attaches to Music a certain want of urbanity from the fact that, chiefly from the character of its instruments, it extends its influence further than is desired (in the neighbourhood), and so as it were obtrudes itself, and does violence to the freedom of others who are not of the musical company. The Arts which appeal to the eyes do not do this; for we need only turn our eyes away, if we wish to avoid being impressed. The case of music is almost like that of the delight derived from a smell that diffuses itself widely. The man who pulls his perfumed handkerchief out of his pocket attracts the attention of all round him, even against their will, and he forces them, if they are to breathe at all, to enjoy the scent;

>By the age of 30, Chesnokov had completed nearly four hundred sacred choral works, but his proliferation of church music came to a standstill at the time of the Russian revolution. Under communist rule, no one was permitted to produce any form of sacred art. So in response, he composed an additional hundred secular works, and conducted secular choirs like the Moscow Academy Choir and the Bolshoi Theatre Choir. In the Soviet era religion was often under oppression. The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour,[1] whose last choirmaster had been Chesnokov, was destroyed, which disturbed him so deeply that he stopped writing music altogether.

>""Property" is practically held to be more sacred than religion in our state-run society: for offence against the latter there is lenience, for damage to the former no forgiveness. Since property is deemed the foundation of our entire existence as a society, it seems all the more destructive that we do not all own property, and that the greatest part of society even comes disinherited into the world. Society is thus manifestly reduced by its own principle to such a state of dangerous discontent, that it is forced to estimate all its laws to the impossibly of settling this antagonism. Protection of property, in its widest universal legal sense — what armed force is selectively maintained for — can truly mean nothing else than a defence of the Haves [Besitzenden] against the Have-Nots [Nichtbesitzenden]. As many serious and keen calculating minds have applied themselves to the study of the problem before us, a solution to this — the final one perhaps being an equal distribution of all property — is something nobody has wished to bring to fruition [glücken wollen]; and it seems as if, through state exploitation of an apparently so simple a concept as property, a stake had been driven into the body of mankind that makes it waste away from the misery of a painful illness."

>"Clever though be the many thoughts expressed by mouth or pen about the invention of money and its enormous value as a civiliser, against such praises should be set the curse to which it has always been doomed in song and legend. If gold here figures as the demon strangling manhood's innocence, our greatest poet shews at last the goblin's game of paper money. The Nibelung's fateful ring become a pocket-book, might well complete the eerie picture of the spectral world-controller. By the advocates of our Progressive Civilisation this rulership is indeed regarded as a spiritual, nay, a moral power; for vanished Faith is now replaced by "Credit," that fiction of our mutual honesty kept upright by the most elaborate safeguards against loss and trickery. What comes to pass beneath the benedictions of this Credit we now are witnessing, and seem inclined to lay all blame upon the Jews."

Harpsicords you could argue are lesser pianos (which is still better than many other instruments), but Organ is probably the only instrument that could easily make an argument for being superior to the piano. In fact I think you would need to make an argument for piano over the organ, than the reverse.

You need music theory to even be able to enjoy Bach. It's a lot like Shakespeare, if you learn enough "writing theory" you discover Shakespeare is the best in history.

I started to learn music composition and music theory the last months because I need music for my personal projects. Basic things like counterpoint, or being able to understand the structure of something, a fugue or a sonata form. It's pretty cool to start to count the rhythm and realize the entire piece is like a fractal, where there's superior melodies that are clearly invisible or impossible to view, meta melodies that are metaphysical in some sense; they're invisible structures, the dorsal spine of the piece. And how that meta structure repeats from the entire piece where a single measure of this giant invisible melody is about 5 minutes.

Another cool thing is when you start to view music as a piece of literature, seeing how chords are archetypes in a story, and the type of chord is his emotion, and start to visualize a piece of instrumental music like a scene in a drama, and you see clearly how the melody acts like the actors in a stage play. And the key modulations are like scenery changes.

It's not that difficult. See pic related. Put attention to how he repeats motifs, like the red circles, which he then start to repeat into bigger motifs (the blue circles), which he uses to build even bigger motifs.

When you see Bach's music and start counting, start to be aware of his use of polyrhythms, of how he keeps layering rhythm on top of rhythm, it's an amazing experience.

While the organ is superior in terms of complexity and tonal range, the piano is simply more versatile. You can really only write one type of music on the organ.
There's a reason the piano is so widespread, it's superior simply due to the fact you can use the piano for so many fucking things.

>There's a reason the piano is so widespread,
Moron, the piano is more widespread because its something any ordinary human can afford. Not exactly like you can go and pack a church organ in your home. In fact just attempting to RECORD an organ properly is an arduous task because of the nature of it compromising an entire building.

The piano and harpsicord are a concession made for practicality, and I don't mean that lightly, the organ is the most classical extravegant thing imaginable in terms of structure and craftmanship. Its not even just an instrument construction alone, the entire building and soundstage of it is all finely tuned to support it.

The organ is the peak and pinnacle of musical beauty and architectural structure. There is no superior, it is simply the king of instruments.

Even with the grandest and largest squadron of Mahlerian horn farting conjured could still never recreate the immensity of a pipe organ. You would know if you had ever stood before one, it feels like the very earth before you is rumbling in Almighty fury when the performer truly wishes to shake the room. No recording can realistically fully replicate it, you can literally feel it.

The voice and organ are the highest tier of sound machines we have, although neither are great for a solo composer/artist. Yes, the church figured it out and we have been coping ever since, correct. Not interested in asshurt about religion, it is what it is.

Two notes: 1) apparently Rachmaninoff considered The Bells his finest work, something I'm sure no one here including myself will agree with, but it's still pretty great, and 2) V. Petrenko is a superb conductor of his music, so this is definitely essential listening.

>>128950470
We disapprove of saccharine melodies here. Haydn has a reasonable amount of restraint to himself, just as all classical and pre-romantics did. For the Wagnerians like Bruckner they believed everything is either the loudest earth shattering moment, or of the greatest of all tragedy, apparently unaware of the fact the audience is currently just sitting listening to music in neither life threatening danger (besides of death by boredom), nor in any great tragedy.

Ultimately their approach is one only suited to Opera, where there are indeed such tragedies going on, unfortunately Bruckner and Mahler were not intelligent enough to grasp that the OST is only realized when it is attached to a scene.

Classical and baroque music was understood as abstract, beyond mere heart tugging melodies that as Medtner says are "self-sufficient" all alone unto themselves. That is not to say there was no emotion, far from it, but rather they were cognizant of the silliness in bombast and overt self-pity.

I'm afraid the official /classical/ council has already held meeting on the subject and the determination was that Bruckner's musical opiates of not in the interest of anyone who might mistakenly listen to them. Further more: it was discussed that surely any man who goes to an opera and closes his eyes must be an idiot through and though.

it's pretty much a happy coincidence that pompier sounds like pompous (it comes from pump - pompe hence fireman) and that allusions to firetruck sirens happened to be an effective way to insult some of the composers. the metalsis attempting to revive it is not even using it in the same way as the old tripfags did.

>The last performance [of his oratorio The Creation] Haydn attended was on March 27, 1808, just a year before he died: the aged and ill Haydn was carried in with great honour on an armchair. According to one account, the audience broke into spontaneous applause at the coming of "light" and Haydn, in a typical gesture, weakly pointed upwards and said: "Not from me—everything comes from up there!"

based humble, pious papa Haydn

>Gerard Schwarz and the Seattle players perform each work with commitment and energy. The sound – dating from 1991-92 – is clear and powerful. The notes by Steven Lowe are most informative. This is one of the more important releases in Naxos' splendid American Classics series. Highly recommended. ---- Robert Cummings, classical.net

>The alpha and omega is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, marvellous in the first three movements, very badly set in the last. No one will ever approach the sublimity of the first movement, but it will be an easy task to write as badly for voices as in the last movement. And supported by the authority of Beethoven, they will all shout: "That's the way to do it..."

now playing; feel like going through a new cycle of Tchaikovsky's symphonies, so I looked up anything released recently, and came upon Paavo Jarvi's set

start of Tchaikovsky: Symphony No.1 in G Minor, Op. 13 "Winter Daydreams"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2yyfyj29OQ&list=OLAK5uy_lCh7qd-CI7xMETjC8vDAiTMX6dkH7Li1U&index=2

>The Estonian conductor Paavo Järvi and the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich continue their journey through Tchaikovsky's symphonic works. This fourth volume opens with the Symphony no.1 (1866), subtitled 'Winter Daydreams'. He wrote his first essay in the symphonic genre just after his appointment to a teaching post at the Moscow Conservatory, and it earned him lasting success. Indeed, he retained a lifelong attachment to the piece, asserting that it was superior in substance to all his more mature symphonic works. The program continues with one of the Russian composer's most famous pieces, the Capriccio italien (1880). Conceived as a musical travelogue, this symphonic poem is a genuine tribute to Italian folk melodies. The triptych offered by this volume is rounded off by the Waltz from the opera Eugene Onegin (1879).

A nice program for winter too.

"It is necessary for us to explain the involuntary repugnance we possess for the nature and personality of the Jews ... Judasiam is the evil conscious of modern civilization."

"The Jew has never had an art of his own, hence never a life of art-enabling import... So long as the separate art of music had a real organic life-need in it, down to the epochs of Mozart and Beethoven, there was nowhere to be found a Jew composer: it was utterly impossible for an element quite foreign to that living organism to take a part in the formative stages of that life. Only when a body's inner death is manifest, do outside elements win the power of judgment in it-yet merely to destroy it. On one thing am I clear: that is the influence which | the Jews have gained upon our mental life, as displayed in the deflection and falsification of our highest culture-tendencies. Whether the downfall oJ our culture can be arrested by a violent rejection of | the destructive alien element, I am unable to decide, since that would require fore es with whose existence I am unacquainted." ( From his book Judaism in Music)

Handel's Messiah is genius

>>128951455
Depends which forms you're most into. He has great masses, late symphonies, string quartets, and piano sonatas. That said, just listen to the Jochum set of his late symphonies and then listen to some of the other stuff I named if you're into it.

Exploring all of them is just for the megafans. In truth, you only need those late 'London' symphonies, late piano sonatas, and later string quartets + Seven Last Words of Christ
