/lit/ - Literature

Your musical tastes are retarded dude, you sound like a fucking pleb. Jazz is distinct from classical, it's not just the "bastardized" version of it and if anything it's closer to folk than classical. Interestingly enough, Beethoven himself actually wrote some music that was jazzy and boogie-woogie like (link related)

try to make something that will last beyond yourself. children is the surest way but also one of the most temporary.

What's the /lit/ equivalent of a deaf composer or a blind painter?

Any accessible literature on the topic of ''the harmonic style of 18th century European musicians" ?

It is my birthday today, /lit/. Turning 20 this year, so I'm no longer a teen. I was wondering if you had any books to recommend for someone who is very interested in the history of philosophy and such. Or something which you think a person my age should read to get to know the world better.

No. Music is the highest of all art forms. There is NOTHING, and I mean absolutely NOTHING in all the world of art that even comes close to what Beethoven achieved in his music. Beethoven's music is as raw, powerful, expressive and communicative as it is humanly possible for artistic expression to be. Sistine Chapel? David? War and Peace? Hamlet? Critique of Pure Reason? Apology? Forget it. None of them hold a candle to Beethoven. Not a single one of them even come close. Beethoven is out of this world, completely. Beethoven is the greatest artist who ever lived.

Beethoven is the Ubermensch Nietzsche described.

Spengler talks about Faustian man's prime symbol being "infinite space." Where can I read more discussions about this? And what person do you think got the closest to embodying that ideal? To me, it's Beethoven. His music has infinite depth.

fiction or non-fiction

Are there any books of in depth analyses of music? Not teaching the concepts of what music is and about chords and structures etc. but presupposing knowledge of applying those concepts to really break down specific pieces. Kind of like an academic assignment - but in book form, for your own personal study and pleasure. Specifically interested in analyses of Beethoven's work (he is the GOAT after all). I've already read "Beethoven And His Nine Symphonies" by Sir George Grove.

Pic related is the only painting of Beethoven that he actually posed for. This whole discussion is more than retarded.

in this thread discuss your favorite passages in literature that include semicolons in abundant, plenteous, and bounteous amounts; and practice with me, the king, on semicolon posting; let's have at it; i'm bored already with this board and its lassitude and languour

FALSTAFF: O, thou hast damnable iteration and art indeed able
to corrupt a saint. Thou hast done much harm upon
me, Hal; God forgive thee for it! Before I knew
thee, Hal, I knew nothing; and now am I, if a man
should speak truly, little better than one of the
wicked. I must give over this life, and I will give
it over: by the Lord, and I do not, I am a villain:
I'll be damned for never a king's son in
Christendom.

Beethoven is better than Mozart faggot

Who was/is the Beethoven of literature?

>>6190611
Nietzsche is already patrician
>At a certain place in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, for example, he might feel that he is floating above the earth in a starry dome, with the dream of immortality in his heart; all the stars seem to glimmer around him, and the earth seems to sink ever deeper downwards.
He even called Beethoven an ubermensch

"Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy."
