Classical has influenced a lot of Rock music; Roll Over Beethoven!:P (bring Tchaikovsky back..)

Sonata no. 8 by Beethoven. He never named any of his works, but another composer proposed the title as it has a sort of "tragic" feel to it. The title of the muse song "Map of the problematique" is supposedly inspired by this.

I sort of play fur elise on guitar :P

That's cool! I can play the easy part everybody knows on piano. Before the bridge. I think maybe 5% of all people who play the intro know how to play the whole the song.

I dont play it complete either :P

I've been into classical lately.

 

Currently listening to Mozart, Overture To The Marriage Of Figaro. It's really enjoyable.

I'm glad you do

And now Spring & Winter by Vivaldi :nice:

Get into baroque music

Any recommendations?

What about Bach's little fugue, or toccata and fugue?

Or if you're not into organ, I really adore his Brandenburg Concerto.

Nice! Thanks.

^^ All that Bach stuff is great. I rather like some good Bach. That Tocatta/Fugue is a fave of mine. :)

 

^ Like your sig, Daniel. I especially like how the horn player is in the front. :D

^ :heart: His interpretation of the Piano Sonata n°8 is just beautiful. All the three movements.

 

I've been lately listening to Chopin's etudes... They're so beautiful, and this one makes me just speachless.

And what do you guys think about more "modern" compositors? I personally feel intrigued for Schoenberg's atonal music...

 

Here, Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured night) of Arnold Schoenberg.

I love early 20th century classical, but while I admit that's a nice piece I've always been so-so on Schoenberg. His use of atonality is (naturally) pretty raw and dissonant so I can't listen to it in large doses. There was a chapter on him in a book I read and he had a really crazy and tragic life. The scales he used were revolutionary but I'm much more partial to whole-tone scales and impressionism like with Debussy and Satie's gymnopedies.

Don't you hate shitty electronic remixes of classical songs? I say this because there seems to be one of those tests on facebook of what electronic song are you? And I saw there this version of Adagio for Strings by a DJ. Stupid people they don't even know who the real composer is.

Oh, me too! Debussy has to be one of my favorite composers of all time.

any good classical music suggestions? ( no Mozart or Beethoven please)

 

but specially with violins please :D

Anything from Vivaldi as well. Usually has brilliant string work. Check out Spring from The Four Seasons.

Vivaldi - Spring
