I'd like to add Rezso Seress to my list....Gloomy Sunday is his best piece ever! (not exactly classical, more like 1930's) |

the hungarian avangardist Béla Bartók is really great i think. i once send a piano improvisation of mine to a friend and she said it would sound like Bartók, i didn't knew him but then loaded something down. for me this were some of the best things i heard for years. Concerto for Orchestra and The Miraculous Mandarin are my favourties |

i'm going cd shopping tomorrow and i've got a shortlist of these composers: Penderecki Mozart Vivaldi Chopin Beethoven Rachmaninoff Rachmaninov Shostakovich Carmina Burane I'm having trouble finding what to get first, the only one i'm sure of is Vivaldi - Four seasons. Anyone able to tell me what is the best to get from any of the composers above? |

my favorite is Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven... I can actually play it to, and it's a joy to play... always makes me feel better for some reason... I also love The Planets by Holst, and yes, Rach 3 RULES! |

there's a lot i enjoy... in the hall of the mountain king (popular i know, but it's fantastic to play in an orchestra) incantation and dance (by whom? i don't know) chopin, rachmaninov, beethoven, cage, tchaikovsky, wagner... |

Rachmaninoff and Rachmaninov are probably the same composer. and Carmina Burana is a work by Orff, I think. at least I haven't heard about a composer with that name... and you're missing some Debussy on that list, just get some piano works volume... |

Rachmaninoff = Rachmaninov It's the Russian translation, comes out differently depending who's translating it |

WONKA: Now, don't get overexcited! Don't lose your head, Augustus! We wouldn't want anyone to lose that! Yet. Now, the combination . . . This is a musical lock. (He plays the opening to Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro.") "toodle,todle,doo,toodle,todletodley,doo...." MRS. TEEVEE: Rachmaninoff. |

ah I rembember when I used to know absulutely NOTHING about classical music. Luckily I kept this topic in my favourites... My local library has loads of classical cd's! I'm going to run out of hard drive space soon! Listening to Vivaldi - four seasons at the moment, definately one of my faves. Getting some choral works by vivaldi soon I'm a little confused with some of the terms used in classical music, I take it vespers is choral music and that Choral music isn't Opera? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is there a website that tells you what all the terms mean? Like sonatas, choral, allegro etc ect. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
choral music doesn't mean opera but it can be a part of an opera Operas feature all kinds of singing: solo, choral, storytelling(in a singing way) the lead parts are often 4 voices(bass, tenor, alto, soprano) similar to the stringquartet I like the choral music from the renaissance period the most(Palestrina, etc) |
