NEW POLL strawpoll.me/11267305

I'm not really into the voting for meaningless shit type of polls. If any of you would like to discuss the legitimate positives and negatives during the timeline of music, feel free to start a topic.

i have one
why are you such a faggot

any discussion of music that doesn't concern its purely technical elements is meaningless

Everything is meaningless.

Orlando Furioso.
Farnace is alright.

Literally reigning supreme. Absolutely based.

DO
NOT
BULLY

only one of these composers is good btw

why the Englismen were so based

Voted for modern. With such diverse and great composers as Janacek, Debussy, Scriabin, Schoenberg, Ravel, Bartok, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Messiaen, and many others, it's very easily the best, IMO.

This is also the case for literature and painting, BTW. Nothing really tops modernism when it comes to the arts.

>Nothing really tops modernism when it comes to the arts

[citation needed]

I cite my own opinion.

But really, is there a single era in music or any of the arts that was so aesthetically diverse and so great at the same time? I don't think so.

Do people actually unironically listen to pre-baroque music?

too bad that's worthless

>based af Englishmen composing based af music starting from the Renaissance to early Baroque
>then the Germans come in and cucked the English tradition, due to the royal court being fucking stupid
>it wasn't until Purcell that the English musical identity and its former glory was restored
>then after Purcell's early death English music became trash again, never to recover
What happened?

They were probably busy colonizing the rest of the world.

And how did that go?

All baroque sounds the same

pretty good actually

not bad

your pleb is showing

t. Stravinski's buttboy

This, and same for medieval, renaissance and classical. Romantic is where things start getting interesting, though, and it culminates in the remarkable era that is modernism. After that, however, things start getting a bit too ridiculous.

>same for medieval, renaissance and classical.
>Romantic is where things start getting interesting, though.
Pleb

who are some neato frito composers & pieces contemporaneous with Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, and Reicha?

That's where you're wrong, kiddo

How do I into Bernstein?

is this a good recording

Start sucking dick

Start unzipping your pants

Romantic music is for literal retards that think film music is also good.

Jeremiah Symphony, Westside Story, and Chichester Psalms

I like it. So do some reviews I've seen.

that's not very observant of you

honestly it's kind of hard to go wrong with most Brandenburg Concertos. especially modern recordings. most performances are acceptable.

Concerto Italiano is good but the Brandenmeme memecertos are bad.

yet another incorrect opinion

totally quirky lol xDDDDD

...

Underraters pls go.

what does /classical/ think of mozart's piano concertos?

not music

Some of the best music ever penned.

this would make sense if you were talking about Bach, or another great composer

Easily the best piano concertos. Godly music.

now I am confused

Terrible. Literally the Skrillex of his time.

There are people that like Mozart and then there are people that don't have autism.

>Mozart underrating autists turn another thread into /MozGen/
Great.

this thread is for music

On the Town > Candide> West Side Story (Kiri The Kanawa version) >Chichester Psalms

>You will never be as talented as Mozart
Why live?

Mozart's best music, therefore also the best music ever created.

Really? Because Prokofiev isn't a Romantic composer and his film music is good.

It certainly is user. Why not post the best music ;^)
youtube.com/watch?v=dSid1UNvAIY

talented at what?

too bad Mozart didn't write any music

I love Mozart.

>his film music is good
[citation needed]

>Mozart made his best "music" when he was ripping off of Haydn

you can't make this shit up

23 is officially the best one.

>ripping off of Haydn
[citation needed]

I hate Mozart.

>stop having opinions on things >: )

People who love Mozart
>George Bernard Shaw, respected writer
>Charles Rosen, respected pianist and academic (Taruskin pls go)
>Albert Einstein, respected scientist

People who don't like Mozart
>Glenn Gould, known autist and talentless hack
>random online shitposters, known plebs
>Bernhard Lang, (un)known literal who

hi i'm 11 and i was born on the wrong generation. all my classmates listen to disney crap, i can't understand how can they like these sitty "artists" instead of actual artists llike led zeppelin, the beatles and mozart

How do I get into classical? Any books, documentaries, movies I should watch first?

You can just listen to the music, you don't necessarily need to know anything.

Mozart

I just dont want to listen to it, I want to understand it

People who love Mozart
>paid shills
>shitposters
>Charles Rosen (literal who)
>people with sub-85 IQ scores

People who love Bach
>everyone with an IQ >100, including Mozart
>Glenn Gould, world renowned virtuoso and prodigy
>Bernhard Lang
>literally every good post-Baroque composer (most isn't included in this list because he's not a good composer)

Is there a good baroque chart?

Read Rosen, he's pretty accessible even if you know jack shit about theory.

While listening to

is overrated

Stalin loved Mozart too

>paid shills
Add "paranoid conspiracy theorists" to the list of Mozart haters.

Stalin did nothing wrong.

>Mozart! Mozart!

t. Dying Mahler

thank you for correcting the record

Mozart was an incestuous scat fetishist and manchild, on top of being a shit composer. Why would anyone like him?

>scat fetishist
???

he literally wanted people to shit on his chest

Sounds like a great guy with a wicked sense of humor desu

he said he liked mozart only to appear highbrow
he did all things this way
the original hipster

Which composer had the weakest dying words?

classicfm.com/discover/music/composers-last-words/

Ingmar Bergman's the Magic Flute and the Pirates of Penzance (1983)

nah, sounds like a fucking degenerate

Petzold said: "Fuck off"

source?

Noone's paid to shill for Mozart. It's a Salieri-funded lie and a pathetic attempt to smear his image.

Yeah, he was most likely a literal autist.

Charles Rosen would like to have a word with you

I like Gesualdo's wife's final words
>AHHHHH AHHH AHHHH!!!

He wrote a piece called Lich Mich aum ausch.

Brahms must have been talking about this dick

>"I am a pianist"

Yeah, so was everyone else, you fucking idiot.

>I'm a penis
What did Field mean by this?

all are good
Bach really makes you think
Rameau a gagster
what did Berloiz mean
the greatest is Field

>Irish composer John Field, when asked whether he was a Protestant or a Catholic, replied with: "I am a pianist," before breathing his last.
jeez anons don't even read explanations beneath quotes

top kek

Strauss because why would he want to have written a shitty piecd

>Despite the fact his wife was sitting by his side, legend has it that Mahler breathed his last after shouting the name of fellow composer Mozart.

>"Now is my final agony. No more." Chopin's final words, as he listened to Mozart's Requiem.

>Clutching Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, Richard Strauss allegedly said he "would have given anything" to have written it before shuffling off this mortal coil.

Amount of composers giving homage in their dying breath
Mozart: 3
Beethoven: 1
Bach: 0

Bachtists unmistakenly BTFO

If you don't read the explanations most of those come off as non-sequiturs.

Even Mozart was thinking about Mozart when he died

What do you think of him?

intelligent
nihilistic
with a wicked sense of humor
Seriously, he wasn't dumb enough for academic life. Debussy followed his example and became one of major modern composers.

explain the mozart was underrated meme please

they proved that clara haskil belongs with the angels

Peter Schickele
Conservatory-trained composer and sole discoverer of the music of P.D.Q. Bach.
Underrated: I'm tempted to say Mozart, simply because it is impossible to conceive of a rating that would do him justice.

Bump

Leningrad was under siege. People were starving for a loooooong time.

That's the background

of course. Renaissance polyphonic vocal music is some of the most beautiful and master-crafted of all music.

Incredibly boring, simple music.

Is this good?

why it bad?

Le Sacre is great, especially if you see it live. Can't vouch for that recording though.

It wasn't interesting enough.

Based

There's a composer named Mozart and certain people think he isn't as popular as he ought to be.

The march of the all-devouring falsehood.
The horror of cultural degradation without any possibility of future.
This is the true theme of the 7th, not some materialistic or official nonsense. It exposes the roots of militarism per se, not just portraying Nazi agression in a particular context.

He was trying to prove he wasn't a hack and he failed miserably time after time

Are you for real?
Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Purcell, Charpentier, Rameu, Lully and Händel are the more known baroque composers who wrote Operas as well.

Does this chart continue with late Baroque composers as well?

Recommend me creepy music like this, lads

which classical composer had the sickest beats?

>ywn cause riots with your music

Here is my summary of each one.
Wagner: Fedora, he died as he lived.
Mozart: Grandiose, probably farted immediately afterwards.
Bach: Incorrect, only people who wrote music go there.
Beethoven: Edgy, Hunter S basically said the same thing.
Mahler: Absolutely based.
Schubert: Like his music, boring.
Chopin: See Wagner.
Berg: A shame you didn't use it more wisely.
Rameau: Moderately based.
Mendelssohn: A description of how I feel after listening to his music.
Strauss: Never admit inferiority (even to Mozart)
Bizet: See Schubert.
Berlioz: A little cryptic, yet endearing.
Grieg: Based
Rachmaninoff: Poor hands indeed.
Strauss II: Lacks the strength of Grieg's
Schoenberg: Edgy
Haydn: A little immodest to say the least.
Brahms: See Bizet
Bartok: A variation on Berg.
Field: Literally who?

I've been listening to classical for a long time, but I can't for the life of me get into jazz, it all sounds like fucking boring wanky nonsense

if your IQ is below 110 you should downgrade from music to film

that should be more your speed

What do you guys think of Peter Maxwell Davies?

literally kys

you're an idiot.

glad he's gone

He's right you know, only jazz that ever mattered was pre-modal

nice and edgy

>Chopin: he died as he lived
Being gay

He's ok.

Sibelius and Nielsen suck

and the sky is blue

Actually, the sky isn't blue. It isn't a solid object so it's incapable of directly containing color.

It's just light, and the short wavelengths only make it appear to be blue.

They're pretty good, actually.
