On a purely technical/theory/compositional level, the most skilled composer is Ravel. He often gets outsted from the "Top Composers" because he didn't nearly have as much output at Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, etc. But there is so much more to Ravel's music than, I dunno Haydn's. Like Haydn wrote some 100 symphonies and I can't name a single one
Max Reger. What a giftless bastard.
>>129013465you are profoundly retarded.
Wagner is truth.
The 200 year old techniques are impossible to out date. The greatest works 1700-1900 were written as much for the year 3159 as they were for 2025 as they were for their respective year of composition. There were many temporary fads in the western music cannon, but haydn and Mozart were the first to put their aesthetic truly beyond what was merely popular at the time, and catapult their art into timelessness.The composers that we don’t remember today, they were just doing what was popular at the time. The composers we do remember are the ones who did what was right.The current fad of making ‘interesting’ ‘influential’ pieces will be largely forgotten within a century. It’s just a fad.
Beethoven invented classical from baroque but it wasn't till Chopin fucked the piano as if it were his mother that it really came into its own as an art form.

>The Third Symphony is Mahler’s hymn to the natural world and his longest work. It was largely composed in the summer of 1895 after an exhausting and troubling period that pitched him into feverish creative activity. Bruno Walter visited him at that time and as Mahler met him off the ferry Walter looked up at the spectacular alpine vistas around him only to be told: "No use looking up there, that’s all been composed by me."damn

>>129015048>>Schoenberg killed music*the Darmstadt school
>>129015055>Key influences on the Darmstadt School were the works of WebernAnd Webern worshiped the ground Schoenberg walked on. All of this garbage was because of him.
On one occasion, a superior officer demanded to know if he was "this notorious Schoenberg, then"; Schoenberg replied: "Beg to report, sir, yes. Nobody wanted to be, someone had to be, so I let it be me".[12] According to Norman Lebrecht, this is a reference to Schoenberg's apparent "destiny" as the "Emancipator of Dissonance"

>>129015063Not bad. Almost as good as the famous Picasso quote.
>>129015063>"Emancipator of Dissonance"That was Bartok. Schoenberg only succeeded in the emancipation of writing alienating fake music that can only be perceived as random notes.
Fagner was gay and died of AIDS.
>>12901506112-tone composition is just an attempt to limit the number of possible intervallic motives and to derive harmony and melodic content from the same pool (a common procedure in all post-tonal music). the twelve-tone system is best conceived as a formalization of the complex motivic-thematic writing of the second viennese school, which is always imbued by polyphonic concerns. This affords the composer the freedom to focus on particular melodic elements of the row, by stowing away parts of it in vertical harmonies. Freer manipulations are also common. All it was meant to do was to bring back compositions to a more organized formalism. That's it, really. At most total serialism/gruppenkomposition/etc. (the kinds of music that appeared after Schoenberg's death, and the ones which this general hates the most) are rooted in a grand misunderstanding of Webern, it has nothing to do with the neoclassical form and motivic development of Schoenberg's twelve-tone works.
>The Nocturnes are Chopin's hymn to rank sentimentalism and dishonest emotionality. It was composed during a turbulent, solitary period when Chopin spent all day watching anime locked in his room, daring only to come out after dusk to stealthily steal a plate of cold leftovers. Jan Lisiecki visited him at that time and as Chopin met him outside of his garish Tesla cybertruck Lisiecki opened up reddit on his phone only to be told: "No use looking on there, that's all been composed by me."damn

>>129015620No shit. However the issue is that Harpsichord lack dynamics and thus has no reason to ever be played. The reason every baroque keyboard piece is filled with such heavy trills and ornamentation is because thats the only way to add variety to pieces. And also, the Harpsicord sounds rather poor in general, with no real upside besides having more clarity than a modern piano. However the fortepiano also has better clarity, while actually having the ability to play with dynamics. We prefer piano renditions of harpsicord pieces here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iOt3MA1F48Also an interesting fact is that old Harpsicords used to sometimes have multiple manuals like an organ, which can make trying to play them on modern piano absolute nightmare tier difficulty.

The piano is objectively a superior instrument for virtually everything but the (very rare) keyboard concerti. You cannot clarify the motivic polyphony of a Bach fugue on a harpsichord, nor can you accentuate the myriad thematic contrasts of a Scarlatti sonata on a harpsichord, whereas the dynamically flexible clavichord presents difficulties of intonation and a volume that is utterly unfit for public performances.

>The first fugue was J.S. Bach's hymn to the fugue-fetishism and fictional God he didn't believe in but lusted after. It was largely composed in the summer of 1703 after a sexually exhausting and troubling period that pitched him into erectile dysfunction. His daddy visited him at that time and as Bach met him at the church, daddy looked up at the spectacular organ pipes that resembled heavenly cocks descending from the heavens around him only to be told: "No use looking up there, that’s all been composed by me."damn

>>129015743compared to the harpsichord the piano allows for far more individualized articulation of the voices in a polyphonic composition, as well as imitation of an implied instrument's (consider for example the trio sonata preludes in the well-tempered clavier) articulation - all impossible on an harpsichord.

Now the fortepiano on the other hand does not have the cross woven pattern, has less sustain, and has timbral distinctions across the registers. In comparison to modern Piano it has much more clarity, and compared to Harpsicord it can actually have dynamic distinction. >>129015995Some fag from /metal/ is so mindbroken by his bully over there than he shat up the entire thread just so he could have a meltie about his boogieman instead of talking about music.

In-fact should be hyphenated, all forms of portmanteau should either be joined together without space, or hyphenated to show their relation. This is a case where even natives would fail to understand, but an ESL truly could not comprehend it, because he can only memorize rules, and did not grow up on the language to know that "in fact (rather infact)" is a portmanteau.There are many fundamental issues with the English language, and it is this reason they fail to navigate it without bringing about the obvious reality that they are foreign to it. In the same way natives are probably even more prone to spelling errors than outsiders are, because the verbal and written forms are in such a disastrous discordance.

Strauss:>Tristan does not, as you believe, represent the "dazzling resurrection" of romanticism, but the end of all romanticism, as it brings into focus the longing of the entire 19th century, longing which is finally released in the Tag- und Nachtsgeprach and in Isolde's Liebestod. . .

In-actuality we are more prone to speak "inside" as "in side", yet their relations have granted unto them concatenation (although we would prefer hyphenation). In-fact is in-truth more deserving of a hyphen or concatenation than many other words with an "in" prefix, based on actual spoken language of natives.

Just came across this blog, a guide of the writer's favorite classical recordings (i'm sure people are familiar with the Penguin Guide)https://thepenguinsgirlfriendsguide.wordpress.com/about/>Having slogged through several editions of the Penguin Guide to Classical Music and come out of them more confused about which performance is the best than before I read them, and not being much of a fan of Gramophone’s Britain-centric reviews of virtually everything, I’ve decided to start my own guide. Since I am just one person and older than most young bloggers, I’m not going to start at the beginning of the alphabet just yet but, rather, will post my reviews of the performances I prefer to all others as I feel like it. Sooner or later I’ll get every composer I like in here. Either that or I’ll die trying, but at least what I post here will be valid and hopefully steer you in the right direction.I'm pretty set on all of the essentials and basics, but if I were still new to this whole classical thing, I'm sure it'd be an invaluable resource. They also have another blog for reviews and other blogposts related to (classical) music and recordingshttps://artmusiclounge.wordpress.com/home/Seems like they have some good content, once I figure out how to browse the damn site lol. Sample:https://artmusiclounge.wordpress.com/2024/10/14/the-greatest-bach-violin-sonatas-partitas/https://artmusiclounge.wordpress.com/2024/10/15/the-music-of-frederick-naftel/https://artmusiclounge.wordpress.com/2024/10/22/alisa-weilersteins-exceptional-brahms/Basically a lot of stuff about contemporary composers, musicians, and recordings + their thoughts on all-time best recordings + just random reviews on recordings and music they really like, and I'm sure there's posts about their thoughts on music in general but I've stuck to the more review stuff so far. Anyway, hope someone here enjoys these and finds them enlightening.
got stomach bug and didnt sleep at all, everything is loud and pianful right now, is there any music that helps this or should I abstain
>>129016290>>129016290>... which means the inverse of correct,Just as into means the inverse of to! See, the problem with ESL is that they cannot comprehend that English is broken language (just as all others are), and its rules are merely DESCRIPTIVE of how the natives speak it, NOT prescriptive.>>129016298We here find the act of following our own ideas of what is correct more profound than to continue wrong-doing simply because it was "always that way".
>>129016307er, not *just* contemporary composers, like I said many of the reviews are on recordings by contemporary musicians on baroque/classical/romantic/modern music, but there's plenty on contemporary composers as well from what I can see.
>>129016316Wagner.
>>129016320>Just as into means the inverse of to!No. It doesn't.>wrong-doingLmao wrongdoing is one word. It's called a lexical compound.
>>129016338>No. It doesn't.I'm sorry that you are too stupid to understand that was the entire point of why I said it. Please do ask some other brown member of your family to help you out if you are feeling confused, or continue your wrong-doing as you please I suppose.
I love having to share the internet with giga-autists.

>>129016349>I'm sorry that you are too stupid to understand that was the entire point of why I said itYou said it because you didn't understand my point.By your utterly retarded rationale, "incorrect" is essentially the same as saying "in-correct," which would (in your retarded mind) mean "a state of being correct." "Into" is a lexicalized word that has nothing to do with inversion, and therefore would not serve to highlight why "in fact" requires no hyphen.
>>129016316I have a hard time tolerating piano and vocal pieces when my tinnitus is acting up.
>>129016383>>By your utterly retarded rationale, "incorrect" is essentially the same as saying "in-correct,"Incorrect. The meaning of incorrect only has meaning when applied as a descriptive formation to how English is spoken, the relation of inside, into, incorrect, inaccuracy, and so on is to highlight that there is no proper rule for it. We understand incorrect does not mean to be "in correct" just as we understand "in fact" does not mean to be the opposite of fact, these are things that can only be comprehended by the native peoples of England, not for the brown masses making a shallow mockery of our language by pretending there is any sort prescriptive rules we are following that might make his transition to white-hood more smooth.

>>129015190Go ahead and ask a German today what happens in the Ring Cycle. I'm sure they would know more about Greek mythology still
>>129016417>We understand incorrect does not mean to be "in correct" just as we understand "in fact" does not mean to be the opposite of factLol I'm glad you finally accept the fact that "in fact" does not need a hyphen - and that, in fact, it would make absolutely no sense given the meaning of "in fact."
