Beethoven sure looked like a fucking caveman or a rapist. That's how his music sounds too.

>Beethoven sure looked like a fucking caveman or a rapist. That's how his music sounds too.
Associating music with such subjective analogies is stupid.

Also,
Beethoven, Wagner and Rachmaninov.

Debussy and Ravel are my main men, I'm constantly exploring though. Do any of you play instruments?

>>5011616
I played the violin, and regret now to not have learnt to play the piano instead.
You should give a try to Saint-Saëns if you haven't, close to the ones you have listed.

Sibelius
Debussy

And have a listen to Alemdar Karamanov before the thread is deleted, wont you?

Mahler
Shostakovich
Beethoven
Schubert
Mussorgsky

anyone looking for stuff to dip into:

Mahler Symphony 9>1>2>6; if you just have little time 9th, 1st mvmnt and 1st 2nd mvmnt.

Shostakovich Violin Concerto No. 4

Schubert Winterreise, Gute Nacht or Leiermann

Mussorgsky - Pictures at an exhibition as a whole, or if pressed for time: Night on the Bald Mountain

Beethoven: Well, go figure. Not that into him that I have edgy non-mainstream things to contribute. 9th 2nd movement. Or as a whole, but its relatively long.

>>5011474
mozard
lets be honest everything else is shit tier and you know it

>>5011474
Chopin, Mozart, Beets, Wagner & Rachmaninov.

>>5011653
Beethoven's sonatas obviously
Especially 14th, 17th, 18th and 21st, played by Ashkenazy or Horowitz, though the quality of his recordings are terrible.

>>5011656
Pretty ironic that I honestly do not enjoy Mozart as much as other composers that were inspired by him.

>>5011653
anyone unfamiliar looking to get into mahler, check out the >>> biopic (its not really one) by Ken Russell

Leoš Janáček - Glagolitic Mass

>>5011656
its saying a lot if someone's best work is a requiem.

Hes very much the Justin Bieber of the 18th century, but that could just be because I'm fucking fed up by Mozart-everything as an austrian...

>>5011686
What's the joke?

>>5011700
must be some kind of meme from a lesser board, I don't get either.

Someone post tutorial how to filter tripfags pls

I do believe no one would say his best work is his requiem. The argument would be about Die Zauberflöte or K.622, I guess.

What does lit think of Zbigniew Preisner?

Are you bonkers, mate?

>>5011736
I should add that I did like him for a while when I first heard him but I didn't know much classical at the time. Wojciech Kilar, Krzysztof Penderecki, Witold Lutosławski, Grażyna Bacewicz, Henryk Górecki, Andrzej Panufnik are all far more worthy Poles.

>>5011757

I didn't mention Chopin because I was aiming for more recent composers, also I forgot to mention Karol Szymanowski. Also don't filter Tallis, it's good to see the classical shit flinging meme-monkey, makes any crappy music listeners look civilised

i can ASSURE you, anon, ASSURE you that there is nothing more sad than a bunch of 20-somethings listening to classical music regardless of reason

y'all won't accept that because you're still doing the whole too-erudite-for-my-age shit but it's true and there's nothing you can do to change it

and some of you actually go out of your way to post less known composers and shit despite the total anonymity oh my god this has genuinely ruined my day

>>5011896
Stop being ignorant.

i'm going to be honest that had absolutely no effect on me

>>5011903
>>5011896
there are people RIGHT NOW who literally cannot comprehend that other people have different opinions than them and are insecure enough that they let it ruin their day

>>5011925
it's because of ppl like you that we have threads about paintings every week

>>5011933
....so?

Since I listened to Bach's passions, piano & organ works, I find every other composer to be either boring or try-hard, anyways not transcending what is present in Bach.

how do to intelligently listen to classical music without music theory?

>>5011962
>how to read intelligently without deductive reasoning?

give up

>>5011946

Messiaen is great also
I'm not a theist, except when I hear this:

>>5011925
You mean to say people are sensitive to criticism and are insecure about themselves and their future? I am appalled!

>>5011999
I am afraid not everyone is a neurotic who mistake other opinions as criticism.

This thread has turned into dildos.

rachmaninov, verdi, puccini, chopin, satie, liszt is it obvious that i play piano and love italian opera

>>5011962
the only way without knowing about composition is to attribute symbolism to the music

gubaidulina
brahms

bach
ligeti

off the top of my head

>>5012487
ew

Tchaikovsky, brahms, mahler, wagner,

whatever, just naming off composers is retarded

>>5011474
Mozart, Mozart, and Mozart. Some Bach on the side too,
That's all the music I listen to.

I'm not going to claim I know any much about classical music, but I enjoy Chopin.

I'd love to hear some recommendations for composers known for their nocturnes though.

>>5012756
Fauré, Satie, Scriabin, Debussy, Bartók.

>>5012756
John Field too as he invented the nocturne

>>5012889
This is a good list. Louis Durey as well.

fuck yes

I hate how he's still treated like a curiosity or novelty with his pieces only appearing in like american music compilations. I wish someone would labor to make a definitive psalter recording or something.

Why do I have the best taste on 4chan?

Is Moondog the greatest composer of the 20th century?

>>5011813
>>5011825

Mingus. I would argue that he's the greatest American composer of all time.

>>5013667

>What's with all the anti-intellectualism on /lit/?

Fuck off kid, lol. You were trying poorly to hipster victory.

Moondog is good, but he's no 20c best. You're just one of these desperate types who likes to hype obscurities into conversation. Gb2/mu/k.

>>5011474
Beethoven. GOAT of all time, nigga.
9 > 5 > 3 > 7 > 6 > 4 > 8 > 1 > 2

tfw look like beethoven
not the epic painting of him
how he actually looked

>>5013897
>7th the best
>6th above the fifth
>3rd below the fucking 8th
Come the fuck on nigga,
Bach Mozart and Haydn are all great but Beethoven is still GOAT for me. Beethoven took the techniques perfected by Haydn and Mozart and expanded them so much. Mozart wrote 40 symphonies and Haydn wrote over 100 but sometimes they were so similar, so much emphasis placed on form that they didn't really stand out. Every one of Beethoven's 9 stands out from the others. His music is filled with passion, yet still adheres to form. And as for Schubert, lel, Schubert looked up to Beethoven like a god

>>5013917
I have Beethoven's hair. I style it like he does.
So, not at all.

>>5013929
I didnt mean the rekt seriously
they're all unbelievable geniuses

Mozart ftw though

>>5013892
>8 that low

What are you doing.

>>5013945
>The beginning was simple, almost comic. Just a pulse: Bassoon, basset horns. Like a rusty squeezebox. And then! Suddenly, high above it... an oboe. A single note, hanging there, unwavering. Until -- a clarinet took it over, sweetened it into a phrase of such delight! This was no composition by a performing monkey. This was a music I had never heard -- filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing. It seemed to me I was hearing the voice of God.

>>5013954
The 8th is good, the other ones are just better.

>>5011653
You don't listen to Beethoven that much?
Neither did he.

>>5013929
>His music is filled with passion, yet still adheres to form.
And Mozart's wasn't that, but better? Top fucking lel.

>And as for Schubert, lel, Schubert looked up to Beethoven like a god
Schubert admired Mozart and imitated Mozart more than Beethoven. Furthermore, who cares who he admired? Beethoven worshipped Handel, does this mean you need to worship Handel too?

Mahler
Tchaikovsky
Holst
Malcolm Arnold

>>5013978
Mozart's was that but Beethoven amped it up, so hard. When you hear the Grosse Fugue or Eroica's funeral march he forces you feel the despair he did at his deafness. He pulls you by force into what he was going through at the time.
And the comment about Schubert looking up to Beethoven was in response to someone saying Schubert rekt Beethoven.
>Their first meeting was apparently in 1822, when Schubert, accompanied by the publisher Anton Diabelli visited Beethoven. Schubert had dedicated a set of Variations on a French Song (Op. 10, D.624) to Beethoven, and wanted to present the dedicatee with a copy. Schubert was apparently nervous during the interview, and nearly lost all sense of composure when the older man pointed out a minor problem in the work.
>Schubert would serve as a torch-bearer at Beethoven's funeral.[22]
>The last musical wish of Schubert was to hear the Op. 131 quartet, which he did on 14 November 1828, five days before his death.[6] Upon listening to a performance of the Op. 131 quartet, Schubert remarked, "After this, what is left for us to write?"[7]
